"When I approach a new project, my first thought is what is the 'Big Picture?' What is the story we are telling together? My second thought is, what are the tools I can give an actors in order to achieve that big picture? My background in acting ingrained an understanding that the clothes an actors wears on stage are an essential tool for them to tell the story. Thinking 'Oh it's cold out, that character should have a shawl' seems like a simple idea, but by providing a substantive clue into this make believe world, this make believe world suddenly becomes real. An actor can use that shawl to show a sudden shift in the weather or a psychological shift in their comfort. We are achieving that big picture by providing tangible and relatable access for the audience."
