Ali Hunter

Lighting Designer

I am a lighting designer working in theatre and dance. I studied languages and literature before starting my career in theatre, so I take a dramaturgical approach to my role. I work collaboratively and I am interested in make accessible work in creative and sustainable ways. I mentor lighting design students and emerging choreographers and lead workshops about lighting design.
