Harry Trow

Harry is a 21-year old local to Birmingham. He is the only undergraduate in the Design Brains Trust and has just finished his first year in Theatre Design at Nottingham Trent University.

Harry has long been interested in the arts, theatre and opera. He first got involved with Birmingham Opera Company when he was 15 and took part in the production of Fidelio as a chorus member. Since then he has worked as a steward on several of the company's productions, the last being Mozart's Don Giovanni - He had it coming.

Harry's love for the arts was further sparked when he participated in the Bosnia Tryptich 2005. Coordinated by the Borderland Foundation this project assembled artists and young people from Mostar, Bosnia-Herzogovina, Sejny in Poland and the West Midlands in Mostar to take part in a busy schedule of workshops in tehatre, song, dance, ceramics, writing, photography, film and sound focusing on local traditions and histories around Mostar's famous old bridge, Stari Most.

As part of his first year at University, Harry has done two speculative designs: Shakespeare's Pericles for Nottingham Playhouse and Tiny Dynamite by Abi Morgan for Lakeside Theatre.
