Polly Mitton

Training/Education: Always interested in the arts and sewing, Polly got her degree in Costume Production at Plymouth College of Art, where she was able to explore many kinds of costume, but particularly focused on theatre.

 

Professional Experience: Since graduating, she has enjoyed working on various fabrication and costume projects in both theatre and outdoor performance, highlights including Trigger Stuff’s The Hatchling (2021), the opening ceremony costumes for the Birmingham Commonwealth Games (2022), and in wardrobe roles for her beloved panto back in her hometown of Newbury (2021-2023). Working with NYB last summer was wonderful, and she can’t wait to be back with Emilie and the team again for this year! 

 

Biggest inspiration: ‘My biggest inspiration is my family and friends, especially my sister, who I make competition dancewear for. Dancing has always been a passion, so I am excited to be assistant costume supervisor again.’
