As a maker Holly feels a tactile approach is essential for creating sets, puppets, props, costumes and gadgets. Holly works closely with directors, choreographers and artists to arrive at designs and builds that function well with physical action and are robust and tourable.

Holly has a long track record in understanding how sets and props receive wear and tear on the road and how performers need to interact with design elements – balance points, weight, performability, storage etc.

She is passionate about using materials that are recycled or work sympathetically with our environment. Based in Bridport Dorset, Holly has a workshop in The Lyric Theatre where she collects a wealth of materials and found objects, which can be resourced instantly for inspiration.
