About me
With over 20 Years costume experience in the industry I bring an eclectic back catalogue. I have been lucky enough to work in lots of different areas of live performance, each teaching me different and interesting things about costume from helping actors create and find their characters, to supporting designers in creating the world from their visions and designs, to understanding the physical demands put onto costume as an artist walks on a high wire 25 foot in the air.I love the set up of a show and the challenges put on the team to get a show in front of an audience to the thinking on your feet during the run of a show or wondering how you will make that hockey locker room work as a dressing room and getting the truck packed as quick as possible.
I have the skills you would expected from fittings, costume making, alterations, repairs and all other general running wardrobe duties. Working alongside supervisor in fittings, stock ordering, costume ordering dealing directly with makers. Costume breaking down and dying. Basic pattern cutting. Millinery & theatrical hat making & repairs. Wig maintenance, dressing, and application. Basic make-up. Running teams of 13 dressers all that entails from timesheets to schedule to rehearsal to holiday and the all important human support after retuning to work after and during a pandemic. Computer literate. Clean auto driving licence.
