So it Begins

There go my fears of not being challenged while here! I am now designing a high school version of the Tempest...part of Hawaii Theatre's education program. Not only is this a piece of Shakespeare I have been longing to sink my teeth into, but I will also be given the opportunity to teach.

Part of this high school program involves monthly 3 hour master classes--of which I will be teaching one on basic costume design concepts and rendering. In additional, I will be mentoring two students focused on costume design. Weekly or biweekly, for a few hours at a time they will help me execute the designs for the show. And paid. With a tight budget, but much better than ones I worked off of in New York.

And the Tempest of all shows! There is a reason I christened the phoenix Prospero after all...
