Frances Norburn studied Design for Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. In 2017 she was shortlisted for The Linbury Prize for Stage Design and became a RSC Trainee Designer Finalist in 2018. Frances’ background in fine art is a huge influence on the physical manifestations of her theatre design, which carefully balance form, composition and colour and are underpinned by a strong and coherent concept. She has worked with Sherman Theatre, DorchesterARTS, Boomtown Festival, Torch Theatre and Wild Creations among others.
