Theatrical Shibori: Rhyannan's Massive Backdrop for Wassail Theatre's 'Holy Cow!
In 2022, Rhyannan's artistic prowess took center stage - quite literally - with her creation of a monumental shibori sail for Wassail Theatre's production of "Holy Cow!". This impressive backdrop, composed of two expansive pieces of shibori-dyed fabric, served as a visual anchor for the eccentric and humorous performance.
Rhyannan's involvement extended beyond the backdrop, as she also lent her professional expertise to the costume department. Drawing on her background in textile art and dyeing techniques, she worked on dyeing and distressing the costumes, adding depth and character to the production's visual narrative. The project allowed Rhyannan to merge her passion for large-scale shibori work with the whimsical world of theatre, resulting in a unique fusion of traditional craft and contemporary performance art.
