Tobin Distinguished Lecture: Thinking of Costumes as Shapes in Space

Jane Greenwood

Chiego Lecture Hall

Greenwood has zigzagged across centuries of style and a spectrum of media-drama, opera, film, and television...

Educated at London's School of Arts and Crafts, Jane Greenwood moved to New York City in 1963 where she began her career as a costume designer. A professor of drama at Yale University since 1976, she has received 17 nominations for the Tony Award in costume design and was honored with the 1998 Irene Sharaff Award for Lifetime Achievement in costume design from the Theatre Development Fund.

Greenwood has designed for over 125 Broadway productions, as well as Off-Broadway; American Shakespeare festivals; new operas, including the world premiere of Jake Heggie's Moby Dick at the Dallas Opera (2010); dance; and film.

Hear America's most sought-after costume designer!
