During my placement in Dublin from March to April 2024 at ITW Studios under the direction of Gillian Oman, I held the position of Costume Manager for their production of "The Little Mermaid". As my first foray into costume design, this step allowed me to delve into the world of costume making and discover the intricacies of the profession. Responsible for sourcing, customising and creating costumes for 50 students aged between 8 and 15, some requiring several outfits, I honed my project management, creativity and problem-solving skills. In addition to my responsibilities as costume designer, I also learnt to manage logistical issues such as organising and carrying out fittings with each student, creating lists of necessary materials, sending emails to parents about their children's costumes, managing the transport and installation of costumes at the theatre, and supervising students backstage during rehearsals and performances to ensure that everyone was wearing the right costume at the right time. Additionally, I had the opportunity to help with the costumes for a few days at the Gaiety Theatre during the performances of "La Traviata". This experience has strengthened my organisational skills, improved my communication skills, developed my ability to manage several aspects of a project simultaneously and, of course, improved my English".
