Ninth video interview clip with Theatre Designer Ralph Koltai |
| Description |
: |
The pretty 22 year old just out of college, be it a boy or a girl who has a bit of talent, doesn't have to be amazing but whose work looks okay, yes, she or he will be alright up to 32 and then gets overtaken by the next lot of 22 year olds because that is the reality. It's a reality because you mustn't assume that the people who employ you are amazingly knowledgeable and understanding of quality. 90% of people and that includes directors, actually can't judge quality, what they can judge is whether they enjoy having coffee with you and providing you don't make a terrible mess out of the piece of work, which of course most young people don't', they have had good training, there is a standard and especially in this country we produce some really good people, it will be alright, it will be okay. But when I say about judging quality and so on so forth I mean the most cynical thing that has come my way just recently, and I won't mention names because I can't because it's quite topical, and that is they have planned a new production of Voytec at Covent Garden and the designer who has been asked to design the sets for Voytec is called Damien Hirst. Now, because Damien Hirst obviously is quite the right person for designing Voytec? No but he is quite the right person for bringing people into the theatre and when it comes to the notices and the press afterwards, he will be getting the notices never mind whether it's suitable for Voytec, I am not saying it's not going to be suitable, maybe it's not going to be wonderful, I am not going to pre-judge the man, he is a good artist in his own way but the fact that he has been invited to do that, I can't help thinking that it's somewhat cynical, right? |
