Graduate Journeys: Jennifer Garland (Production & Technical Arts)

15 January 2026

From stage to screen and beyond, the Class of 2024 are already making their mark on the industry. Jennifer Garland, who trained on our BA (Hons) Production & Technical Arts programme, reflects on her LAMDA training and how it has shaped her career.

"Since graduating, I’ve been working as a freelance lighting technician on a wide variety of projects. One of my proudest moments was working with Light Initiative on set electrics for TV and film, which took me to Saudi Arabia to help install thousands of kilometres of LED pixel tape. I’ve also worked as a production electrician across London venues and toured internationally with Rambert Dance Company on their world premiere productions. That collaboration has since led to me being appointed Rambert’s Head of Lighting.

"My training at LAMDA prepared me thoroughly for professional work."

Working in the Sainsbury Theatre felt like being in a real venue and made the transition into industry seamless. I also valued the chance to train across all areas of production, which gave me a deep respect for the entire creative team and the confidence to communicate effectively on every project.

The environment, support and opportunities I experienced at LAMDA shaped the career I’m building today. If you are considering training here, I wholeheartedly recommend it."
