Set & Costume Making by Mia MacCormick, Alice Vance, Bronte Hunt

Dance Nation is a contemporary play that follows the journeys of young women and the compelling relationships that accompany growing up. The play has a strong heart but commands focus with comedy and many a dance break.

The design was shaped out of a low budget, but need to create multiple spaces across the large theatre. We constructed the stage curtains, props and costumes ourselves.
