Lighting Design

April 2013:
My Lighting Design work has unfortunately taken a backseat in recent years, with production management and technical management taking up most of my time. This decline in work is mainly due to only wanting to design contemporary dance works or creative installations. 

I would still like to collaborate with dancers, choreographers and visual artists on new works.

About

My name is Geordie Barker, and I am a Freelance Festival Worker, Lighting Designer, Stage/Technical Manager & Sculpture Artist. For a majority of the year, I live in Melbourne, Australia, but I am usually lucky enough to spend 4-5 months of the year working overseas. I graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2008, with a Bachelor of Dramatic Art (Production). I have worked throughout Australia, South East Asia and the UK. This site is where I document my work, travel, commentaries on life and host my folio.

This website started in the form of a blog on March 15th 2008, one day before my  birthday in my graduating year of VCA. I have always liked the idea of having a public blog, and have held a few free ones here and there, but its not quite the same as having a domain name and your own hosting.

On the 17th of March, my first published line was “On this blog I hope to share my experiences in a wide range of fields, roughly including technology, politics, travel, the arts and general observations on the world around me. Please feel free to comment, question, correct and argue with me.”
