I was invited by a friend of mine to talk at Manchester’s City College, Sheena Simon campus today to talk about what I do and hopefully help with the production of the students’ upcoming fashion show.

Public speaking has never been my strong point, however yelling across a stage I can do. I was more nervous sat infront of 20 students than on stage infront of 80,000 people!

We discussed the different elements of their show, my main response being that the most important aspect is timing and coordination. Even on the lowest budgets, you can still make a show feel coordinated in regards music, choreography, lighting and visuals.

I’d relish the opportunity again, next time I think I’ll be a little more at ease.
