Catja Hamilton

I am a freelance Lighting Designer, and a co-Director of Airlock Theatre. I have designed for everything from musicals to comedy, but I specialise in theatre and in particular new writing. I am particularly interested in work which centres those often excluded from our stages, whether that be through new writing or reinterpretations of canonical texts. I have experience working as an Assistant and Associate Designer, and was the inaugural Creative Team Associate in Lighting at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in 2021.
