Informationen zum Autor Tina Bicat's work with theatre, dance, circus and carnival ranges from one-man shows to productions with casts of hundreds. As well as more traditional costume and set design, she has specialized in costumes devised and made with the actor in rehearsal, and with puppets, objects, instruments, transformations, tricks and special effects. She combines freelance design for professional performance with her work with students in the drama department of St Mary's University College, Twickenham.
