Seven Years, Three Acts
Jaymyn Molony-Kelly (he/him) is an emerging production artist specialising in set and props design, with a developing interest in tour management. His fascination with live performance began with concerts, the atmosphere, the emotion, and the way a stage can transform a moment. Over two decades later, that passion continues to shape his creative path.
Throughout his degree, he has worked on multiple productions in various roles including costume designer, lighting designer, props designer, set designer, and stage management. These experiences have enabled him to develop a strong, multidisciplinary foundation in the production arts. He continuously seeks to expand his knowledge and refine his skills through hard work, curiosity, and dedication, approaching every opportunity with commitment and purpose.
Looking ahead, he strives to pursue a career in live events and touring productions, designing stages, sets, and props that transport audiences into new worlds. Inspired by the dynamic energy of concerts and large-scale productions, he aims to create experiences that evoke wonder, emotion, and connection on an international stage.
Seven Years, Three Acts
Seven Years, Three Acts transforms a corner of a bedroom, into a stage of time. It maps Jaymyn’s seven-year journey through university. What began as a three-year degree became a story of rediscovery, growth, and creative exploration. The work reminds us that following one’s dreams is rarely linear, but always worthwhile.
The set divides into three acts: past, present, and future. The past is an archive with a shelf of old assessments, model boxes, and mementos. These are presented with humour and affection for the challenges that shaped him. The present captures his desk mid-creation. Scattered tools, sketches, and props show a love of making. The future looks forward with optimism. A model box built inside a suitcase reflects his upcoming move overseas and his dream of designing stages and props for large-scale concerts and world tours.
Lady Gaga, whose creative courage and reinvention have long inspired Jaymyn, is woven throughout the work as both muse and symbol of perseverance. Her influence is clear in the theatricality, emotion, and unapologetic commitment to artistry that define the piece. Seven Years, Three Acts is a celebration of passion, persistence and the belief that life’s greatest reward comes from pursuing what sets your soul alight.
