The Jerwood Designers scheme enabled three designers each year to expand their experience through taking central roles in Gate Theatre productions, fulfilling demanding design briefs that always stretched the Gate’s performance space. They also had the chance to work with some of the finest directors and writers working in theatre, an experience which is invaluable in establishing reputation and contacts.
The support which the scheme provides in both nurturing talent and offering the opportunity of practical experience has been instrumental in launching the careers of some of the country’s most exciting theatrical designers including Chloe Lamford, Soutra Gilmour, Tom Scutt, and Rosie Elnile.
The Gate Theatre has now relocated to Theatro Technis in Camden
