TK Hay

Hello! I'm a theatre designer from Singapore. I recently graduated (2019) from the Royal Welsh College, and won the Linbury Prize for Stage Design (2019) with the Octagon Bolton Theatre.

I'm currently doing my Master's programme at the same college, exploring the use of virtual reality in theatre design. I am juggling it alongside professional commitments as I'd like to try integrating the technology in actual practice (in viva rather than in vitro).

I am interested in a variety of work; ones which push at the envelope of technology and theatricality, ones which explore and contextualise lived experiences in unexpected ways.
