Sarah Gooda
Lighting Designer, lighting technician & gaffer

I began working with lights during my 2nd year of university, and worked with a number of student and community theatre groups before becoming a full time technician and star manager in 2004. I have lit a variety of productions from dance shows to straight theatre, concerts to film shoots.
