Costume designs for Urinetown performed at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in March 2017. Directed by Martin Parr. Set in a dystopian future where a cabaret theatre has seemingly been frozen in time since the 1930s, the actors there perform the satirical piece, Urinetown.

Costume Props project to design and make a character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass in the style of director Terry Gilliam. I choose the Queen of Hearts who exists in a Wonderland where the Looking Glass has broken and the the world is at war with itself. The Queen of Hearts no longer has her own heart and has to steal others the keep herself alive.

Modeled by Isabella Rubin.

A hypothetical set and costume design for Simon Armitages's The Last Days of Troy, with director Nick Bagnall. I reconceptualized this retelling of the Illiad to take place in America, at two rival boarding schools, The Grecian Academy and the Trojan Institute. The war becomes a football game, the gods become teachers, and the Trojan Horse becomes a brand new Bentley.

As a self proclaimed "huge nerd", I really enjoy cosplay. I found it a great way to show off good character design as a fan and it gives me more opportunities to refine my making skills, in costume props, and special effects makeup. All costumes worn by me, were also made by me. Select photos by Seek Con.
