One Thousand and One Arabian Nights

This is from a costume project, creating costume designs for a specific scene/act in a book. Achieved through choosing a part from the book to analyse, and extensive character, culture, setting, fabric and concept research.

Blood + Chocolate

October 2013

I was most recently involved in York Theatre Royal, Slug Low and Pilot Theatres co-production of Blood + Chocolate; a citywide adventure through the streets of York. With a team of volunteers I made costumes over the months prior to the performances, I also worked as a dresser over the performances in October. 

I do not own any of these photographs, all rights reserved to the individual photographers on Blood+Chocolate flickr

Summer Skirts

My friend always has trouble finding skirts that fit her as she's tiny! She asked me to make her a skirt based on the film Grease. I then practiced on making circle skirts and made a few for my own personal use.  

Made with a petticoat underneith

A Midsummer Nights Dream

The concept - A Midsummer Nights Dream set in the 1920's, with a dark twist.

This costume is for the fairy Titania.

Made in collaboration with a director at my college. The production was for the performing arts students.
