About Me

London
I am a recent graduate with a degree in Fashion Design. I have now pursued into costume design and creation, with consideration into make-up and (maybe) wig-work. A costume has a whole life story behind it. I aim to portray entirely accurate historical and cultural references and develop these details into personal characters all of which the audience can understand and in some cases relate to. The importance of costume is simply inexplicable.

Marbles, chants and rhymes, make-believe play, tag and ball games are played out with the audience as we ask – have children’s games and imaginations really changed?There are some exciting features about the 2011 production from H and F chronicle and London Councils. It was part of The Independent’s Critic’s Choice in their Childrens’ section and The Guardian also recommended it for viewing, as did BBC news . The show has been funded by Arts Council England to tour UK parks.Audiences will not only be watching or participating in various games but also listening to audio testimonies through headphones. The event is a living drama documentary, surrounding the audience with fictional characters whilst treating them to the recorded views of real ones. This family friendly show is low tech, resilient and suitable for anyone over 7 years old. It is designed to thrive on whatever other activities are taking place in the parks.
