Brewer-Wallin
As a costume designer, I see the work I do as a storyteller. I am interpreting the words written by the playwright and offering support to the development of character through clothing. I am sculpting the silhouette the audience first sees and providing color and texture to the world of the play. Through my design choices I can both help and hinder the way an audience views a character, influence how characters physically move in the space, and offer insight on a character’s journey from beginning to end.
