Emma Lyth

Emma is a costume designer and maker for dance and theatre with a strong emphasis on textiles.

She trained at London College of Fashion gaining a Distinction in her Masters in Costume for Performance in 2018. She has a keen interest in theatrical millinery, costume props and costume breakdown and dyeing; exploring how these crafts can add layers of history to costume to enrich their story telling and character portraying abilities.

Emma is also interested in the connection between costume and the performing body and how these two art forms can influence each other. With her BA in Contemporary Dance gained in 2001 from London Contemporary Dance School she finds herself in a  unique position to be able to approach both mediums in a connected way.
