About me

My name is Sephra, I'm a Leeds based Dresser, Theatrical Wigs and Makeup Trainee able to work to a designer’s brief and carry out applications in a timely and hygienic manner, follow a setting and dressing plot, laundry and ironing duties and act as dresser on large and small shows; looking for a role that will further current training and provide opportunities to master the skills such as knotting, designing and styling more complicated pieces. Fully confident in blocking, washing wigs, and also styling of facial pieces, application of facials and full wigs onto actors for a show, styling children’s hair, as well as quick changes and the differing demands of touring.

Other areas of experience in theatre include administrative assistance for a large scale opera company, work as a performer during time at University both as part of and in addition to studies, and as a co-director/dresser/props and costume buyer for a graduate touring piece. I would really like to find work as an assistant on a large scale touring show to build my experience and broaden my skills.
Additional skills:
-Laundry and Ironing as wardrobe maintenance
-Defining, aging, wound and photographic makeup training including airbrush makeup and use of prosthetics and bald caps for theatre
-Events Assisting for small and large scale productions, festivals and outdoor events
-Administrative support on a reception desk for Opera North
-Supernumary work, Acting and Singing in University productions

I will also be starting a Wig making course in 2017 to learn how to make wigs for film and theatre.
