When designing for 𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘢, a ballet that fuses European and African music and dance, Oakland-born costume and set designer Sandra Woodall applied the same cultural fusion in her vibrant designs for the ballet. The costumes, though cut and tailored in a Western style, possess an African influence in their colors and patterns. For the women’s dresses, Woodall chose a silk satin material that she hand-painted, then turned the satin inward so the dancers would feel the movement of the fabric on their legs. Special thank you to San Francisco Ballet for making this exhibition possible.
