Performance Project
After graduating from Amherst College I returned to work for a semester in the costume and scene shops designing costumes, managing props and helping with all construction. I designed for two major productions while I was there. The first was The Pillowman and the second was Performance Project, a performance put together every year by the advanced choreography/composition class. Turns out, with my background in dance, designing for dance was perfect for me. With seven different pieces each requiring distinct designs to be completed in two weeks, it was certainly a challenge but I very much enjoyed the work. Here are some photos of the different pieces taken by the shop manager Bob Colby during the performance.
