Hobson's Choice

We were given a design project to design historically accurate costume for the ballet Hobson's Choice. We were able to go and see the Birmingham Royal Ballet's production which was a great experience as we had the opportunity to go back stage in the wardrobe department. Some of our designs we're sent to the BRB and my Albert Prosser design is one of the designs featured.
Here is the link; http://www.brb.org.uk/huddersfield-design.html

Here is my cast line up for my part one designs.

For the second part of the project we had to come up with a new concept for Hobson's Choice, i chose to set mine in Birmingham around an Indian family as i felt the story suited their culture. 

Here is my cast line up for part two designs.
