Tailoring Project – Prospero Make

Tailoring Project: Prospero of The Tempest. Costume Design by Ping Clarke-ng. The costume consists of a tailcoat, cut with satin and high waisted trousers, with a flared hem. The project was carefully created using tailoring techniques and fitted to a model.

Akhnaten Design Project

Lizzie joined the MA Performance Designs students for a project, to design costumes for the opera Akhenaten by Phillip Glass, alongside Ping Clarke-ng, who was set and projection designer. The project was directed by Adele Thomas. Lizzie created bold and exciting designs, aiming to retain the Ancient Egyptian influences, but also evoke Afrofuturism, ideas of gender, quantum physics and religion and rituals.

Absolute Scenes – Bear and Ice Cream Costume Make

Bear and Ice Cream Costume Interpretation for Absolute Scenes. The dress was cut as an A-Line Dress in Faux Fur, with different panels and boning channels to create its exciting shape. Designed by Tash Sadier.

Graduate Sahir Mehta
As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor. Sahir Mehta, MA Professional Acting, 2018
