My name is Mattis, and I am a lighting designer with a passion for timing, communication and collaboration.
I graduated from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London in 2021 with a BA in Theatre Lighting Design.
My work spans accross musical theatre, dance, devised performances and site-specific plays.
I also make video content and projection-mapping solutions for live performance and installation art.
Coming from a musical background, I thrive for that magical moment where light, sound and action play together as one.
I pay great attention to timing in my work, to make sure each lighting state and transition fits within the rhythm of the piece.
You’ll find all my details in the CV below, and please contact me if you want to discuss ideas or future projects.
