SOPHIE BELLIN-HANSEN
Challenging costuming within dance and physical performances and fulfilling the demands of movement and design combined is a constant ambition and focus in my work.
I have a broad range of costume experience from supervising, producing costumes and running wardrobe through the works with Victoria Thierree Chaplin, Punchdrunk, Mute Comp, Rosemary Lee, Sort/Hvid, Signa and Republique and Teater Neanders among others.
I regularly work as part of the costume workshops Weirdwear, Trinity Laban and The Place and I undertook internships with The National Theatre, The Royal Opera House and the BBC as part of my degree in costume.
