Brad Weston’s Stagecraft: Costumer
————————————————
This column explores different art-forms and the creatives who work in them. We look at how choreographers approach their work, what an improviser needs in his tool kit to do well, and how a painter sees the world.

Cookie is a prolific creator and I was grateful for her clearing a part of her schedule to make time for the interview that follows.
