Set and Costume Design

RISE

Ballet choreographed by: Yuiko Masukawa

Contemporary choreographed by: Storm Helmore

I worked with Yuiko on a ballet piece that explored themes of the human body, light and shadow. This included creating a sculpture that hung in the middle of the stage to cast shadows, and included designing costumes that highlighted the natural shapes ballet dancers make while dancing.

I worked with Storm on a Contemporary dance piece that interrogated themes of social isolation and social pressure. This included creating a set of costumes that felt unified yet individual, and creating benches that could be pushed and moved around the theatre during the work.
