| Sandra Woodall Costume Designer |
| Woodall takes all aspects of the production into account, and each piece is injected with her unique perspective and sense of the beautiful and unexpected. She is able to evoke different feelings with even the simplest of details -- such as creating a sense of the feminine with the custom placement of delicate lace to the use of black lights to mimic a jellyfish in the ocean. Woodall often uses motifs of nature and is inspired by the images and objects that she collects. When Woodall was a Fulbright scholar in Taiwan (1999-2000), she began collecting local insect specimens, which became a springboard for her costumes for "Welcome to Shangri-La," a play about a man whose life was in conflict with nature. |
| Le Carnaval des Animaux is the central panel of a triptych of premieres, a wondrous surprise for this last subscription bill of the S.F. Ballet home stand. Sandra Woodall has provided costumes reeking of Goodwill chic and proud of it. (Review) |

| f a single quality typifies Possokhov's small but steadily growing body of work, it is cinematic sweep, and "Reflections" is no exception. Working with Mendelssohn's first symphony, Possokhov has found inspiration in Ingmar Bergman's "Cries and Whispers," though film buffs could be forgiven for missing the connection. The movie's influence mostly manifests in Sandra Woodall's striking black, white and red visual design -- enhanced by towering mirrors in various arrangements -- and in a mood of high drama that sometimes feels extrinsic to the music. (Review) I went to see this ballet and the still photo does not do the costume justice, which can only be fully appreciated when seen in movement. It is returning in the SFB 2006 Season/ Program 8. |
