“What stands out the most about Millikin would probably be the opportunities you get. If I all of a sudden wanted to do lighting design or scenic design, they would help me achieve that goal,” she said. “You get a well-rounded education on every aspect of design and production; not just costumes, but scenic and also lighting.”
Millikin allows students to truly find their passion in the chosen major, and then helps them to fine tune their skills so they are ready for their professional careers.
Last year, Watkins was able to exhibit her craft as the costume designer for Millikin’s performance of “Pirates of Penzance,” an operetta performed in fall 2019. It was her first time designing an entire opera, but she was able to utilize new technology, including 3D printing, to help with her vision.
“It was super fun making a whole bunch of different skirts and making the entire biker gang look really cool. We were able to 3D print some belt buckles as well as make fake tattoos, which was also a lot of fun,” she said.
During a time when theatre performances look different than they have traditionally, students like Watkins are working to make sure the public can still see the art they are creating.
“We have been taking a lot of precautions to make sure that we’re safe and we’ve been doing that successfully so far,” she said. “We are getting help from Arts Technology majors and planning to video a lot of our shows so we can put those out for everyone to see.”
