Theater - Wardrobe Mistress for Wonder in Oz WYDA

I've been given a few roles over the years, but this one has been far my most challenging. I got the opportunity to costume my first play with the wonderful West Yorkshire Drama Academy. The cast was built up of over 30 children from 7-18yrs. 

 These lovely little bliders rewrote the two most infamous childhood stories, Alice in Wonderland & The Wizard of Oz and mate it into a trippy new age version of this classic. 

It was the first real theatre performance for the society and also for a few members of the cast.

Whilst hand making 50% of the costumes i also sourced, borrowed and stole (technical not stealing) to put together this array of mentalness. With the classic characters in site, Alice, Dorothy, Tin man, scarecrow/mad hatter, the queen of hearts, lion twins, the grand oz ect all got a interesting colourful modern new look.  We performed for one night (with months of preparation) and pro formed the musical/ play at the Bradford Alhambra Studios. it was a fantastic evening and i was massively proud of my little minions and the hard work definitely paid off.

If you enjoyed scrolling through this you will also enjoy the production we have coming up in November based on the 1940s and the daily household drama that came with growing up in WW||.

keep post with all my other costume ventures here.
