Michael Curry

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that after battling with cancer for several years, Michael passed away peacefully last Wednesday, 1st April 2026. Our thoughts are with his wife, Bryony, the rest of his family, friends and colleagues.

Michael had been at dpa for 27 years and was an extremely important part of the Practice’s success. Michael’s passion and attention to detail for lighting design, his chosen craft, never faltered. He was dedicated to producing the very best lighting designs he possibly could and sharing his knowledge and experience with others. Michael always had time to support, encourage, and spare time for his colleagues. The list of projects Michael contributed to is immense, many of which won awards and received acclaim. Michael remained dedicated to his projects and present in the studio up until the last few weeks.

Michael was not only excellent at his chosen profession, but he was also a wonderful person, who will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him and that worked with him.
