About me
I gained a HND in Theatre Costume where I have learned to cut and construct period costume. I also have a BTEC level 3 in Fashion and clothing where I learned a great deal about textiles. I am interested in anything creative and have a keen eye for historical costume.I have enjoyed many varied roles since graduating from college, working within many different theatrical organisations from touring musicals to pantomimes and opera. I have also ventured into the world of period drama for film and television which allowed me to develop my construction skills to a much higher level.
On a personal level I consider myself adaptable, organised, patient, pragmatic and diverse in my interests.
Additional skills:
During my HND I have learned to design, cut and construct costume as well as a fairly in-depth exploration of theatre and costume history.
I have experience in textiles and dying as well as a little in fashion.
in the the past I have worked on a short course in the basics of millinery, learning to use felt, buckram and strip-straw.
During my roles as Wardrobe assistant I have learned to organise and launder costume to its fabric specifications as well as keeping a keen eye out for important sewing maintenance throughout my employment.
During my time at the Alhambra Theatre my position in Wardrobe was developed as it became clear that organisation of paperwork, dressing tracks and the hire costumes as well as budget were a strong skill that were required during the run of the pantomime.
