Costume Performance Management

I specialise in making complex costume operations look effortless, working with world-class companies like the Royal Opera and Ballet and the Royal Shakespeare Company. I’ve led teams managing thousands of costumes, caring for hundreds of performers and keeping shows running flawlessly with calm precision. Quick changes, blood effects, last minute repairs, rain, food fights, you name it, I’ve handled it.

My work spans major budgets, international tours, and collaborations with co-producers across the globe. Whether it’s streamlining costume operations for large-scale productions or solving problems in the moment, I create dressing room and backstage environments where everyone feels supported and productions run flawlessly.

Trigger warning: Images of blood effects shown below.

Streamed live on January 9th 2019, the team at the Royal Opera take a closer look at Verdi’s La Traviata.

In an interview with soprano superstar Angel Blue, I share the finer details of Richard Eyre’s stunning costume design.
