About Me

I am Chris Shute, a freelance lighting programmer and technician based in London, UK. I started out in Hampshire and have since gained a wealth of experience in both the theatre industry and corporate/events sector.

I have worked in lighting roles ranging from programmer to technical manager for various events and productions, providing expertise in lighting control, programming and planning.

​

Discovering the world of technical theatre at the age of 14, I worked in various roles in my local venue on a range of productions and shows including dance, concerts, plays and musicals. In 2019, I decided to focus on my career as a lighting programmer and attended Rose Bruford College to study Creative Lighting Control, graduating with  First Class Honours in 2022.

​

My passion for lighting has grown through real-world practice. I have honed my skills and knowledge in the field, making me a trusted professional among my colleagues.

​

I am dedicated to delivering high-quality work and pay attention to detail, which has earned me a reputation as a reliable and talented lighting professional. As a freelance lighting programmer and technician, I have worked on a wide range of events and productions.

​

When I'm not working on lighting projects, I enjoy exploring new technology and tools that can improve my craft.
