We are delighted to announce that opera director Netia Jones will be joining us for our November talk at the Proud Archivist.

Netia Jones is a British director, designer and video artist working in opera, staged concerts, performance and installation, using video, film and projected media in all of her work. She is the Director of Lightmap, a mixed media partnership with whom she has created video, film, installation and interactive media projects in the UK, US and Europe, from large scale external projection mapping to multiprojector integrated film in opera performances. Some of her recent work includes Alice in Wonderland (Barbican), Atthis (Royal Opera House) and Kafka Fragments (Royal Opera House).

"Enter virtuoso director/designer Netia Jones." - Independent

"When your director is a video artist as resourceful and inventive as Netia Jones, you get a very heady brew." - Guardian

"Netia Jones is the most imaginative director of opera working in Britain today." - Observer

Netia will talk to us about her work, the various overlaps between the disciplines she works in and the future of her field. There will be an opportunity to ask her questions too.

The event will be followed by our regular networking drinks.
