word on the street is…

Ariane is a wonderful person to work with, both as a programmer and production electrician. As a PLX, Ariane is organised, efficient, and knows the rig and its requirements back to front. Ariane is also a great programmer, able to work quickly and keep cool and focused under pressure.

Ariane is a hugely competent technician who has a breadth of technical knowledge alongside an ability to take responsibility and respond brilliantly to problems in a calm and considered way.

I’ve worked with Ariane in various capacities over the last few years – as Prod LX, Relighter, and Co-Designer. Plus she’s my go-to when someone needs an LD and I’m not available.
If I need someone onsite working with me I know she’ll get it done but we will also have a laugh. If she’s covering for me, I know I’ll get at least one (and often more) messages from the rest of the team about how talented/what a delight she is. And if I put her up for a job I can’t do I know the team will be happy with the recommendation.

Ariane Nixon is a superbly talented electrician and programmer. When you are designing a show, it’s important to put together a team who combine technical skill with management skills, productivity and personality. Ariane ticks all of these boxes and more.

Matthew Leventhall, Lighting Designer

“Effective lighting design is by Ariane Nixon, often very inventive.”

LondonTheatre1, Antigone [on strike]

I found Ariane to be both a professional and skilled technician, a trustworthy re-lighter with strong programming skills and possessing an excellent open and positive attitude to maintaining high production values.
