COSTUME DESIGNER





‘Cleansed’ - Tinker, 2025
MA Costume Design for Performance
Master’s Project, based on Sarah Kane “Death isn’t the worst thing they can do to you.”

Set in a ‘university’ institution, the play showcases four interlinked love stories where a brutal leader, master of the nighmare, tests how far the inmates would go for love. 
Tinker reflects this brutality while also symbolising human apathy to war and genocide. He lives in a Foucauldian system appearing to be at the top of the hierachy, however, his fear of vulnerabilty contradicts his position.

‘Tereus and Philomela’ - Philomela, 2025
MA Costume Design for Performance
Based on Ted Hughe’s ‘Tales from Ovid’
 “I may be lost, but I have my voice”

Interested in how trauma and PTSD affect the mind and recollection of events, I chose to portray the story through the memories of Philomela. The brutal actions are showcased through a ‘bleeding’ garment which symbolises the unhealed wounds of past experiences.

‘Rusalka’, 2024
MA Costume Design for Performance
Based on Antonín Dvořák’s Opera


“Give me a human body, a human soul!”

My interpretation of the opera focuses on a dichotomy between a world of heritage, home, togetherness while referencing Lithuanian folklore versus the soviet union world of coldness, rigidness and brutalism.

Decay, 2025
 This is a movement based project in collaboration with a choreographer Jana Bednářová which repressents internal decay that takes place not in the flesh but in the mind.

The costumes were broken down to repressent the decomposition. Using a variety of techniques I played with colour, rips, and textures to create a stylised look suitable for a movement based photoshoot.



Creative Director: Jana Bednářová
Photography: Lucho Dávila
Performers: Lucia Priecel, Kyle Harris, Lois Samphier, Lily Armah, Ezzy Nzewi
