About me
I am a highly experienced Wardrobe personnel, familiar with a wide range of roles including Maker, Cutter, Dresser, and Wardrobe Deputy. I am comfortable with the pressures and time constrainsts involved in working in the theatre, but also have contended with the additional demands of outdoor and site-specific productions. I have an approachable and friendly demeanour, whilst always remaining focused on the job in hand.When I take on makes, alterations and repairs, I work quickly and efficiently, maintaining a high quality. I am confident at both machine and hand sewing, and enjoy working on traditional clothes making, as well as tackling more unusual costumes that require problem solving and 'thinking outside the box'.
I also have experience redressing wigs, and assisting with hair styles. Most notably I have fulfilled the maintenance of costume and wigs throughout eight summer runs of outdoor promenade theatre at the Dukes in Lancaster, in which the demands on the clothes and wigs are particularly high.
Having worked in many different theatres since my graduation in 2009, I understand the importance of adapting my practice to each environment. I am able to prepare tasks and delegate to other team members where my role demands, but am also happy taking advice and instruction from other members of the wardrobe team.
I am a motivated and reliable individual, who loves to be challenged by her work.
Additional skills:
In addition to my roles in theatrical wardrobe departments, I also work as a design and construction freelancer for local dance companies on their own projects, collaborating with them to produce spectacular walkabout theatre. I constantly take on self-directed construction projects to fuel my creativity and develop my sewing abilities.
