Flipside Circus is a youth focused circus which is strongly involved in community development. The company is an expanding, community based not-for-profit organization based in Brisbane. I was the costume designer for the production ‘Storm in a Teacup’ showcased over 12 performances to 4000 people at the Brisbane PowerHouse in October 2008.
The costume design process involved developing the aesthetic concept, sourcing wholesale fabrics, hand-painting colourful prints to be digitally rendered onto lycra, sampling and reviewing costumes with the director, production manager, trainers, performers and my costume crew, fitting costumes for performers from 10 to 60 years old, directing a construction team of volunteers to cut and sew costumes, managing the hair and makeup department and ensuring that the rehearsal deadline was met on time and cost below budget to create a wardrobe of over 60 beautiful and durable garments.
