Biography

During her time at BOVTS, Maisie has produced a range of costume makes for productions such as Macbeth (Bristol Old Vic), Romeo and Juliet (Redgrave Theatre) and Pride and Prejudice (The Mount Without). She was Costume Supervisor for The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (The Station).

In her final year, Maisie has specialised in the cultural differences in men’s tailoring – learning different tailoring skills used throughout the world.  Maisie has a keen interest in theatre and film, having worked consistently at the Bristol Hippodrome alongside her studies, dressing on shows, including Les Miserables, The Lion King and more.

It was always stressed that the contacts you make during your training are incredibly important, and your classmates are likely to end up being on set alongside you in the future. After working with a director of photography on one of the School’s short films, I was invited to work on a project with him outside of Bristol - proving that the professionals we meet via the School, may one day give us a call to action!
