Making The Ballet of the Nations: Costumes and Production

Abstract

Production designer Pam Tait speaks with Ella Margolin about the costumes and set design of Impermanence's The Ballet of the Nations. How did the specifics of Vernon Lee’s text and Maxwell Armfield’s illustrations influence the look and feel of Tait’s costumes, and how were aspects of visual culture across different periods used to characterise the players?
