Eoin Coolahan
Eoin is a lighting operator, programmer and technician based in Naarm/Melbourne. In 2024, he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA).
His passion for theatre grew from partaking in amateur theatre where he performed onstage, and his interest for lighting and backstage theatre-craft grew in this environment. This has led to his passion for multidisciplinary work, and engagement with safe, sustainable, and innovative theatre-making.
His credits at the VCA include Deputy Head Electrician on ‘Little Women’ (VCA Musical Theatre and Production, 2023), Lighting Programmer/Operator on ‘Dance Nation’ (VCA Acting and Production, 2023), Technical Manager on ‘The Bank’ and ‘Everybody’ (VCA Theatre and Production, 2024), and Lighting Manager, Programmer and Operator on the devised work 'The Dinner Party' (VCA Theatre and Production, 2024). He has also completed independent technical consultations and support for small theatre companies.
