About me

I've worked in the theatre industry for nearly 15 years on a wide range of shows with many different directors and designers. Although most of my experience has been at a producing theatre, I've also worked on large scale/arena touring shows, outdoor productions, and been running wardrobe for visiting companies. l have been lucky to work in all aspects of the costume department which has included dressing, supervising, making costumes, and helping with hair and make-up. For the past 5 years I've also been doing a lot of wig dressing and maintenance.
After doing about 13 pantomimes in my career I still find it one of the most creative shows to work on! I've really enjoyed making panto dame headdresses and other headwear the past few years, and hope to do more of it in the future.
Additional skills:
Experience of costume hire houses (Angels, Cosprop, Academy, Bristol Costume Services, The National and RSC).
Very experienced with wig dressing/maintenance and styling on both real hair and synthetic wigs.
Able to do basic hair styling and basic bald cap application.
Experience of running workshops/doing shows with young people, community groups, schools and SEN groups.
