Bea Wilson

Bea is a designer of spaces and experiences for stage, space and screen based in London and Bristol. She trained in Experience Design at the Royal College of Art and Performance Design at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

Combining these two specialisms she is passionate about creating atmospheric spaces aimed to provoke, bring audiences together and story tell. Originating from a visual arts background Bea's process is concerned with visual research and experimentation resulting in designs that allow the characters and story to take centre stage in an enironment that enhances them best.

Bea has worked across a wide range of design specialisms professionally alongside working in theatre including designing for film, events, exhibitions and prop making. This variety of interests makes Bea extremely adaptable to all types of performance whether it is on a stage, in a site specific space or public perfomance.

Currently she is particularly interested in learning more about projects that have the potential for site specific design and performance.
