Lights created for @royalballetandopera International Draft Works 2026 

Feeling blessed with new connections made and the valuable incredible feedback during this project 
_

ā€œIt was breathtakingly beautiful and superbly lit by Joshie Harrietteā€ Graham Watts 

ā€œThey were also exquisitely lit byĀ Joshie Harriette, whose clever effects melded intuitively with the choreographic intentionsā€ Amanda Jennings [Bachtrack] 

ā€œunder Joshie Harriette’s brilliant lighting design—a work of art in itself. A mix of Robert Wilson (painting with light), Michael Hulls and Lucy Carter, I’ve been noticing Harriette’s work for some time now. I buy a ticket to see the production again from a different perspective… Harriette happens to be a dancer, too, and it shows: a first class honours degree from Rambert, as well as an MA in Light in Performance from Rose Bruford. International Draft Works 2026 are enhanced as never beforeā€ Vera Liber [British Theatre Guide] 

ā€œAnd I’m not sure whether the RBO have updated the Linbury’s tech capability or if the bare stage setting was the reason - but the lighting felt more fresh and original than it has in a very long time. Intriguingā€ Matthew Paluch [Broadway World]

This powerful and very moving work, performed by Gladys Foggea with Maxime Thomas, is poetic tribute to the great Guadeloupean writer Maryse Condé, who passed away in 2024, and asks: what trace can we leave behind, even as our bodies slip away over time?
