About me
Currently working as Deputy Head of Wardrobe on Cats at the London Palladium following the summer at the Blackpool Opera House; I have previously toured as Assistant Head of Wardrobe on the UK & Ireland tours of Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Oliver!. Prior to this, and when not on tour I am based in Bristol and North Somerset, and work at the Bristol Hippodrome as a Wardrobe Assistant or Dresser on visiting tours, panomimes, ballets and operas, and I have been a Costume Maker with Welsh National Opera. I love the variety that my job brings; working with both adults and children, and combining practical sewing and maintenance skills with the running of the live performance.Additional skills:
- Costume making including corsetry, foundation wear, flat and stand pattern cutting, tailoring, and hand-sewing
- Surface decoration, textile techniques and breaking down
- Designing and styling input and research
- Strong interest in historical, fantasy and opera costumes
- Dresser plot writing
- Costume Maintenance
- Full Driving Licence
