Thabiso Persson

With a degree in Fine Arts from Stockholm University of the Arts, specialising in lighting design, Thabiso Kubheka Persson is a lighting designer motivated by the search for focal points in the narrative that can be highlighted and emphasised by lighting in relation to the set and the performers. Often these focal points revolve around identity, and the task then is to play with and change the individual's relationship to the world, manipulating the space in which the ensemble and the audience share.

In connection with the What is already here project, Thabiso has developed an idea for a sober, precise lighting design that intensifies the performers' movements as much as it allows them to situate themselves in a fictitious space.
