Meet the Committee

Exec

Joe Davies

(he/him)
President
I'm in my second year studying for a DPhil in Mathematics at St Hugh's. I've been involved in technical theatre since I was in school, and I've worked on productions in both technical and design roles ever since, both in Oxford and as a member of DU Players as an undergraduate. A formative memory as a lighting technician was of trying to figure out how to operate a Mac 2k profile that had been hired for a school production — I caught the bug, and I've been reading manuals and making lights turn on ever since. It’s a privilege to lead a committee of such enthusiastic and talented people. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions, comments, or suggestions, or just to say hi!

Cayden Ong

(he/him)
secretary
Heya! Cayden here, a second year English student at St Hugh's. I must confess to spending more time in theatres than lecture theatres, learning from all the brilliant and lovely techies in this community. This is my second year on committee, and I want to keep going on a lot of the good work we've started while involving new techies and voices so we can keep the scene going and growing. Please reach out anytime -- for tech help, with ideas that committee can work on, or just for a chat!

Hannah Wei

(they/them)
Freshers' & Training
Hello! I'm Hannah, a second year English student at Hertford. I dabbled in tech at school (read: put mics on people and moved set pieces around) but it was only here at Oxford that I absolutely fell down the rabbit hole. Since then I've taken part in almost every department, learning (and failing at) a LOT along the way. A good bit of that was through OUTTS's excellent programme of workshops and training, which I hope to be continuing as the new Freshers and Training Rep.

Caitlin Hawthorn

(she/her)
Hires & Venue Rep
Hi! I’m Caitlin, a second year History and Politics student at Keble. While I’ve dabbled in everything tech and producing, sound is certainly what’s kept me hooked to technical theatre. Having spent a lot of time visiting the hires store (after doing 11 shows, I don’t think I can escape it), I’m looking forward to working with the hires managers and the rest of the committee to improve it and what we can offer student productions.

Alexandra Russell

(she/her)
Social Secretary
Hi, I’m Alexandra, a first year Materials Science student at Mansfield! I’m quite new to the tech community but I’m excited to get involved with this committee to help all techies make the most of our time working on shows here. Over the course of my degree I’m looking forward to learning more about all things tech, working on a variety of shows and helping plan some fun social activities for OUTTS!

welfare
I'm a second-year English student at Hugh's who's done a bit of OUTTSing since mid-first year! Always blown away by how much more I can learn from OUTTS techies, so if you're in the same boat I get you... Please feel free to reach out to me if you've got any concerns, comments, want advice (or have advice to give), or just want to have a chat!

Ted Fussell

(he/him)
Liaisons Officer
Hello!! My name's Ted, and I'm this year's OUTTS Liaisons Officer. I'm coming to the end of my third year doing technical theatre here at Oxford, having worked all over the city in a wide variety of roles, from set to lighting to stage management. As the Liaisons Officer, I'm here to help anyone outside the world of OUTTS and OUDS who wants some technical knowhow to support their production. From dance to opera to lectures, I'm always happy for people to reach out, and to put them in touch with the technicians they might need!

Hey!! I’m Valerie, a first year Physics student at Hugh’s. I got forced into being IT Officer at gunpoint by Cayden despite not really having the necessary experience. I’ve done lighting for a few different shows since starting at Oxford, and somehow keep signing up for more.
