Biography

Renata is a science person with an everlasting passion for choral singing and no formal music education. Has been involved in every LOpSoc production between 2014 and 2017 - mostly as chorus, occasionally as tech. Webmaster for the society in 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/2018, was also the person who started the LOpSoc tradition of vocal workshops, leading them between 2015 and 2017.

Additional roles in the society include: Producer in H.M.S. Pinafore 2015; musical director in Gondoliers 2016 and Gondoliers 2016 (Harrogate); head producer & choreographer in Mikado 2017 and award-winning Mikado 2017 (Harrogate); and remote graphic artist in Princess Ida 2019. Has also received the society's Professor Lilley award (2016) and Life Membership award (2017) for her contributions to the society.

Holds the current record of largest "time spent preparing a joke / duration of the joke on stage ratio" within the society, having spent two months painting a massive portrait of the Baratarian Kings for Gondoliers 2016 that was visible on stage for just a few seconds. Another society record is that of "largest amount of time spent on crafting set decoration", with all the origami folded for Mikado 2017 and its Harrogate counterpart.

In recent years, can often be found at the back of the Annex on Saturday performances, trying to master the camera for filming shows and helping with get-outs.

LOpSoc was a welcoming family in a strange place, and Renata will forever treasure the memories and friends made here.
