Construction, Reparation, and Alteration

I have been a seamstress for over five years, and in the course of that time I have constructed and altered many garments both on and off the stage. An overview of skills includes: Perform fittings and take measurements. Create new patterns for clothing, either anew, from an existing garment, or from measurements. Use industrial sewing machines and surgers. Hand sewing abilities. Stocking and restocking pieces. Consult design decisions and offer new ideas. Swatching. Errand runs for fabrics and shop supplies.

​Special skills include​: studding, pleating, soling

Translation

Spanish and English

As a bilingual theatre artist, I find it imperative to bridge the divide between Spanish and English work. During my studies in Barcelona, I took time to translate El desvarío by Chilean-Argentine playwright Jorge Díaz Gutiérrez. This translation was approved for performance by the official rights holder of Díaz’s estate, and will be distributed to others interested in producing this piece. I directed El desvarío in English at Fordham University during their Fall 2019 season.
