on the street - a different perspective

Warm winds from the west and flowers blooming everywhere. 

A new season has truly begun.

I finally finished and uploaded the last work for my online class today and although I am saddened to see it end.... it is time to move on. The class has consumed me for the last 8 weeks and I have some new and exciting challenges ahead of me. 

I am designing the costumes for "Ivanov" - the opening production for the 2013-14 season at 

Trinity Square Repertory Company 

here in Providence, RI !!!!

I am both thrilled and nervous by the prospect! And although we do not begin rehearsals until August, there is a lot for me to accomplish before then. 

Like actually designing the play ...... based on the director's wishes, the production will not be a Chekovian 'period piece' and will include a contemporary rock band on stage along with the cast. 

A mash up of looks and time periods - but one that must blend together seamlessly so that the audience believes in the world we are creating. 

A challenge indeed.
