#43 Paule Constable

The podcast is going international this week with British Lighting Designer and current duel-Tony nominee, Paule Constable! Paule chats (while Cory geeks out) about her designs for "War Horse", "Curious Incident" and "Cripple of Inishman." She discusses the difference between US and UK lighting approaches, her love of large, single source gestures, why she doesn't get hung up on making designs symmetrical, and her country's love of haze! Hear how all the technical elements of a monster of a show like "Curious Incident" came together and why there are no gobos in "Warhorse," a show that takes place almost entirely in a rural landscape. And Paule talks about being a female designer in the UK, the stigmas and biases that still remain, and what it was like to be the first woman ever to win the Olivier for lighting. Grab a pint and enjoy this bloody good chat!
