before finishing uni, myself and 3 fellow students got involved with the SO Festival on an internship basis. our role was to design and make the outfits for one of the dance pieces that was to have some british dancers, and some swedish dancers. the whole festival was also linked with the run up to the Olympics and had a sport theme. the inspiration for the costumes was the olympic rings and the swedish and british flags.
when everything was finished to actually see the costumes worn and performed in the street with people watching was such an acheievment and made the whole experience so worth while and valuable.
the project also included a trip to sweden in which we met the dancers, watched them rehearse, and took measurements.
