BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance

Adelaide Ragan

I have had the opportunity to work collaboratively as a costume designer and scenic artist on multiple projects: digitally designing, sourcing, altering, and embellishing costumes. This includes painting the set for AUB Productions' Emilia! for which I was scenic supervisor. I organised a team of scenic artists to bring the set design to life successfully. 

For my personal project I designed the costumes for the same play, designing and creating screen and sublimation prints to go alongside them. These designs were later used for Megan Watkins’ MA project, for which I made the screenprints. 

I designed faux prosthetics as assistant costume designer on the AUB Productions show The Visit, making them out of leather, embellishing them with gold foiling and thread. As assistant costume designer on this project I collaborated to design, embellish, and source the final costumes. 

I co-designed the costumes for AUB grad film, Machine Of Quiet Killing, designing, sourcing, altering and using stylistic breakdown. My set of speculative designs for Dangerous Liaisons includes a mini mannequin design on the stand. I designed, sourced, altered, and embellished a costume for make-up collaboration Marie, inspired by Marie Antoinette. I also designed and sourced for a second make-up collaboration and photo shoot, Tituba.

Plans after degree

I will be actively looking for work in the theatre and film industry as a costume design trainee or scenic artist, and have an internship in August 2025 at the White Horse Theatre in Germany as a scenic artist.
