I leave to go to America tomorrow so I thought this would be the opportune moment to begin this part of my blog.

I'm travelling to Cedar City in Utah to work as part of the costume department for the Shakespearean Festival, which puts on several theatrical shows throughout the summer. I'll be there for the whole summer, from the 16th June 2010 to 20th September 2010, working on all different areas of costume such as dressing, wardrobe, alterations and making.

This experience is going to be ideal in order for me to gain more experience in the Costume industry; to further my knowledge and hopefully get my mind set on which area of costume I would like to make for in my 3rd year of University at The Arts University College at Bournemouth and in future work placements.

I've no idea what it's going to be like when I get there. At the moment I'm very nervous and excited about being there, but definately not looking forward to the 15 hour flight via New York.
