Tom, LIFT General Manager's favourite moments.
"LIFT 24 has been loads of fun to work on - a brilliant variety of international performances! I loved working on Bat Night Market (Science Gallery) and L'Animale (Old Bailey) - two of our most ambitious and atmospheric projects.
🧵
I loved working with our brilliant team of volunteers to make sure our audiences had the best possible experience visiting a LIFT show!"
