Studying at AUB has presented me with an array of opportunities to enhance my knowledge of costume making and supervision, through taking part in fittings, collaborating with BA (Hons) Design for Costume and Performance and Acting to create a fully realised costume for a show, to being backstage and dressing alongside peers.
During my final year, I have had the opportunity to work on two AUB Productions, thriving on the collaborative opportunities. In my production practice unit, I created the full costume for Miss Slighcarp for The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. The 1890s costume consisted of a petticoat, bum roll, bodice, two skirts, a collar, and a corset, worn also for the AUB Productions show Spring Awakening, in which I had the opportunity to dress.
For my major project, I created the full costume for Cristofolo for AUB Productions' La Casa Nova. It was a 1760s costume, consisting of cravat, shirt, breeches, waistcoat, and a coat with a freehand machine embroidered panel on the back, additionally electing to create a cape, with a wealth of braid and trim, for the character Lorenzino.
Plans after degree
After my degree, I aim to refine my making skills and pursue a career in dressing or making for theatre.
