As The Public Theater prepares for their 50th anniversary of Shakespeare in the Park I think back on last years shows. I was lucky enough to be part of the costume team for 'Measure for Measure' it was a magical summer in the park and I know this year will be just as mesmerising.
"What ’s mine is yours, and what is yours is mine." (5.1.576)
Labyrinth Theater Company is a company I've wanted to work with for years now, the work they've produced is what inspired me to move to New York. I'm pleased to say I'm Assistant Costume Designer on their next production, Ninth and Joanie.
Standing in line at The Drama Bookshop in midtown something caught my eye. The cover of this months Dramatist showcased a great production still from the first show I worked on in New York; The Divine Sister @SoHo Playhouse. The wonderful costume designer, Fabio Toblini took me on as his assist. He's a fantastic designer and a pleasure to work for. Just look at these pictures, it was obviously a fun show :)
Everyone remembers their first. You don't know what you're doing, it's awkward, you're not sure what to expect... it's all too much; but you always remember it.
And now... you can watch mine. My first feature film as Costume Designer is out on DVD!!!
What did you think I was talking about?!!!
Featuring Carmen Electra and Brooke Hogan this is the perfect B-horror-movie to watch on a rainy day.
A specially commissioned play by Australian playwright Ben Ellis, directed by fellow Australian John Kachoyan.
The idea is to take theatre out of its comfort zone. This is 3D theatre with film screenings, a pop up restaurant from Mark Jankel and exhibition of photojournaism from artists including Marc Vallee and Brian David Stevens.
