Costume Assisting

I have worked in a costume assistant roll on five theatre and musical productions so far, and have gained many valuable skills from each and everyone, including doing the budgets and receipts, alterations, costume sourcing and buying and making.

In Time of Need (2023): Short film

I was a costume assistant on this It's My Shout production. This was such a great insight into the film and television industry. I did continuity, helped the knight with bits of dressing, ironing, and keeping the costumes pristine.

It's My Shout

'All Change' commissioned by S&DR 200 Festival

This was a costume assistant placement, where I did a week leading up to the event, and dressed on the event itself. I did alterations, breakdown and fittings.
