Ed Saunders

Ed Saunders is a lighting designer for performance. He works with light in collaboration with other artists to create events for stage, screen, and installation. Much of Ed’s work is for contemporary dance and cross-arts projects, although having been appointed this year’s Lumière Scheme by the Association of Lighting and Production Design, his most recent work has been in partnership with leading lighting designers as an assistant on the likes of the Glyndebourne Opera Festival and associate on new work from the English Touring Theatre and on the West End. Other recent ventures include designing a stage at Glastonbury and assisting on upcoming spring shows for London and Paris fashion weeks. He was previously supported by Arts Council England to enable a period of research into scenic fabrication and light sculpture.
