My name is Emily Haworth Wheatman, and I am passionate about inclusivity and accessibility in theatre. In my final year project I adapted the book “Bravo, Mr William Shakespeare!” for children’s theatre. I have produced high-quality and innovative costumes throughout my time at university, for example, on Dance4 CAT’s end of year dance performance. Here, I was particularly happy with my solution which realised the director’s vision of having flowers grow from the dancers' costumes. Other professional environments in which I have gained experience includes my time as an assistant dresser on The Curve Theatre’s production of West Side Story. Fostering a positive working environment is really important to me. I experienced this whilst working with Derby Theatre and University, where I collaborated to design and make costumes for a site-specific performance based in the Eagle Market. During this valuable experience, I developed my visual and verbal communication skills.
