Designing Shakespeare Collection - Development as Designer
Filename	:	DS_SJ_au02.mov
Description	:	Question: What would you say were the key stages in your development as a designer throughout your... a short overview of your career? Answer: It's hard to, sort of, encapsulate that really. I mean it's been a steady kind of journey going back and forth between my private life and my public life so to speak. At first I just did everything that came along and tried to gravitate towards the directors that, whose work interested me. Eventually I hooked up with Peter Brook and, you know, rich, sort of, period of work followed with him. But at the same time I was working at the Royal Shakespeare and working with other directors there. I went to America for fifteen years and worked all over America as well. And came in contact, in New York particularly, with the avant-garde there, during the late seventies and early eighties, and then came back to England. I stopped work from time to time, you know, for my domestic life. And I felt that every time I had a period off a whole area of my thinking would clarify because you just go from job to job to job to job and you take everything that you can get and make use of it. And so that funnily enough the most important steps forward I have taken have been when I've not been working. When I have had time to let it settle. And it goes on working whether I'm, no matter what I'm doing, it's still happening.
