4.48
Psychosis
Costume Design
4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane is a dialogue of running thought through mind, body, soul, and memory. There are no designated characters, but three personas were determined for the performance. Performed at the IndyFringe Festival, this production had little time to set up, perform, and tear down. Costumes were done simply but effectively, and on "zero" budget.
Lord of the Flies
Costume Design
Manchester University's production of Lord of the Flies. This was performed in a black box space in thrust. The audience was 2 feet at the closest and 40 feet at the furthest from the actors at all times. Each actor had three costumes that recieved increasing layers of distressing to denote passage of time and life on a deserted island for young boys.

The Mikado
Costume Design
Manchester University's production of The Mikado. This production proved to be a particual challenge in that the cast list changed several times from the innitial casting to about two and a half weeks before opening night. That, and I was my own dresser and makeup artist for the full run. The majority of the costumes were pulled from and rented from other stocks.

Directing
This play was my senior capstone, in which I directed and designed the costumes. The men's clothing were pulled from stock, but the Woman's dress and bonnet were built for this production. I built the bonnet, but due to time constraint, the shop built the dress.​
