Listen "189. Kevin Blax Burroughs"
Episode Synopsis
This episode we share Kevin “Blax” Burroughs, the Artistic Associate Director with Oceanside Theatre Company.
2022 Craig Noel Award Winner for Outstanding Specialty Artist, Burroughs is a proud African-American singer, dancer, actor, director, choreographer, and lighting designer born and raised in San Diego. He’s been a performer, board member, and/or member of the creative team with companies that include Moonlight Stage Productions, New Village Arts, San Diego Repertory Theatre, Cygnet Theatre, OnStage Playhouse, CCAE Theatricals, SDMT, and La Jolla Playhouse, as well as youth theaters and educational institutions.
He worked as a performer and choreographer right out of high school, before adding lighting design to his repertoire later in his career. He’s proudly self-taught, having learned to become a lighting designer via YouTube videos, collaborating with other designers, and through on-the-job experience designing show after show.
We had a great conversation talking creativity, theatre, inspirations, creative tips and more!
