As an assistant costume designer for Cabaret, I was able to attain first insights into the world of costuming and the process of costume construction. During this experience, I was able to learn basic machine and hand sewing skills, picking out and arranging trim for the Two Ladies. Since Matthew Pedersen chose paintings by Max Beckmann as the inspiration for the Kit Kat Klub costumes, I was also assigned to manipulate constructed garments by catching the essence of Beckmann’s work and painting the characters’ costumes.
