Hello! I'm Jasmine and I'd love to be your Costume and Merchandise sec next year :)

Having been part of Ballet Society for a year, I've got to experience how great this society is and I'd love to have a more active role in it next year.

I think I'd be great for the role because I'm a very creative person, having done Art A-Level and being a part of the Art Society at Leeds. Hopefully this will help me design some super fun merch for you all!

I'm also good with a costume, having done theatre for years alongside dance and being part of the Theatre Society here. This has given me a good eye for creating a cohesive theme, especially on a budget!

For this role, I'd mainly aim to keep up the good work from this year, as I've been really impressed by the standard of costume. However, I'd love to make costuming more sustainable, as I'm very passionate about the environment. While I'm not sure how far it would be possible for the competition teams, definitely for the showcase I would love to use more second-hand sources like Ebay and re-use/repurpose previous costumes. Additionally, I would love to expand our range of merch, as I think it's so lovely to have a physical way to remember events like shows, but find that often things like t-shirts get tucked away in a drawer, eventually creating fashion waste. I'd work with all of you to think about what this might look like, but could be water bottles, makeup bags, tote bags...

Thank you for reading and please vote for me!

Hi everyone, I’m Meera and I’m both a fresher to uni and the society. Being part of a society was always something encouraged to me, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose ballet.

I would be a great fit for this role, as I am a Graphic Design student, engaging in design and art both within and outside of my studies. I grew up as a theatre kid (yikes I know) but thankfully, its paid off, as I have experience in handling costumes which helps my suitability for this role.

MY AIMS:
These include being a friendly face in the society, allowing for dancers to have a say in their costumes to ensure everyone is comfortable, recycling old costumes/clothes we already own, and introducing more variety of merch such as a class-wear range (LUUballet wrap skirts, leos, warm up gear etc).

I was a part of the show team this year, which meant I got to see how the costume process works, giving me confidence in the fact that I would not only execute this job well, but really enjoy it.
As your costume and merch rep, I would love to design the clothes we feel proud to wear, which also represent the society well. Being elected in this role would also mean working together with the rest of the committee to promote a fun and friendly society.
