Medea. University of Memphis. 2013.
Director: Brian Fruits
Lighting Designer: Kitty Devany
Costume & Mask Designer: Meghan Miller
First Hand: Amanda Heady
I drafted and constructed Medea's main dress and corset. The skirt was a two layer pleated dress that was three times the waist size of the actors to give it the fullness desired. As first hand, I headed up the fitting for the actor each time she came in. The bodice top and the brocade skirt was draped to get the look desired.
I also helped model the masked used with paper mache and body double silicone.
I was also on wardrobe for this show, so I was tasked with making sure all the costumes were hung properly after every show. In order to help the other wardrobe personal, I created a costume checklist with all of the items that each character had. This checklist was used to make sure all of the items were accounted for each night. I was also responsible for laundry of the outfits that needed to be washed after each show.
