Anika Kidd is a theatre-maker and designer based in Dublin. Her work and artistic interests are grounded in design-led theatre practices with a strong focus on stage design. She aims to create work that is vibrant with the capability to act as both a spectacle and a spatial anchor to support text. She is looking forward to working with Dead Centre to integrate a multidisciplinary approach to design and to propel her work as a theatre-maker forward.

Since graduating from Theatre and Film Studies in Trinity College Dublin in 2022, she has worked within both creative and technical disciplines in theatre and film. She primarily works in stage management and stage design. Currently, she is working as a stage designer for Dublin based theatre company Hello Operator Theatre. Recent credits includeThe King of All Birds( Martha Knite, 2023), Alma (Greg Tisdall, 2023), and War and Peace (Gift Horse Theatre, 2023).

With Dead Centre, Anika has worked as Assistant Designer and ASM across new productions and touring works.

Across 2024, Anika will develop her creative practice through engagement with Dead Centre’s programme of work, mentorship, and by working across Dead Centre productions. She will also have the opportunity to develop her own project, supported by the company.
