Rajinderpal Singh Rakhra: Set design - First Meeting

Rifco have given me a unique opportunity through the Rifco Associate Scheme to observe, learn and apply the fundamental design process within theatre set design, at its primitive stage, while approaching the vernacular.

The first initial meetings with Pravesh Kumar and Sarah Crompton gave me an insightful overview of the program, were we collaboratively discuss and establish the vision for a new piece of work. The possibility to apply transferable skills and establish and learn new processes within the discipline is very existing.

The subsequent initial meetings with Pravesh, Sarah, Rebecca Brower and Jack Weir, the production and creative team of Rifco Studio production Pyar Actually have given me an astute perspective of an inventive process. In particular, while in meetings with Pravesh, Jack and Rebecca have allowed me to unravel their unique creative development process, while mentored by established practitioners.

The entire team have been very welcoming and helpful from the outset. Delighted to be selected as part of the Rifco Associate Scheme. The juxtaposition leaves me very excited about the possibilities of the unknown and the new.
