Costume Supervision - Picnic at Hanging Rock
Picnic at Hanging Rock was my first attempt at supervision. Being offered the opportunity to supervise this show in my last term of first year cemented my passion for organisation. I very quickly knew that supervision was the direction I wanted to focus on during my time at BOVTS.

Costume Supervision - Robin Hood & Marian
Working as the Costume Supervisor on Robin Hood & Marian was a joyous show to be a part of, from the musical numbers to the crazy costumes. Taking references from high end tailoring pieces and combining them with a family friendly clothing world created a visual aesthetic that made the process thoroughly enjoyable and creative from start to finish.
