S1 E4: Lily Dyble, Associate Director
This week, associate director Lily Dyble talks about the art of supporting big shows – the sensitivity, timing and trust that let a creative team do its best work. She reflects on a pathway that spans lighting desks and rehearsal rooms, from early music-soaked beginnings in Manchester to recent projects at The Bridge and beyond, and why scale only works when the rooms are humane. Lily unpacks what it really means to be an associate director – protecting the director’s focus, translating between departments, and turning logistics into momentum – and shares a few favourite memories from Bridge productions where the building felt alive with possibility. For her fantasy production, Lily looks to music and movement — re-imagining a vast choral world in dance and light, built to surround an audience. Hosted by Pauline Fallowell, Director of Marketing and Audiences at the Bridge Theatre.
