Libby Watson - A career in theatre design
Assist somebody definitely. If you do a degree, I think you have to do a degree now I don' t think there' s any other way into it, go to one of the ones that are known about; Wimbledon, Central St Martin' s, those places. Do as much work experience as you can while you' re there. And as soon as you come out, try and work for a well-known designer; somebody with a name, maybe, who' s doing big productions. You may be one of two or three people in their studio but it' s still worth it. And do as much of that as is possible and then try to filter in your own work as you go along.
