My page is devoted to my set and costume work, through
a period of study and experience in the theatre industry.
I'm currently in a BaHonours theatre design course, and
work amongst other things with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
My designs reflect my interests in psychology, gender and philosophy.

These designs were from a group of designs for Arthur Millers play,
" The Crucible"
The designs below were a project based upon the role of
the fool, in this case for Shakespeare's, "King Lear"
They highlight the ability to bend the gender of the fool, a
sexless character, or one of both genders.
They also show the influence of the Commedia'Dell'Arte in Shakespeare,
both traditional and modern interpretations.
