ALEKSANDRAPERSHAY

I’m a freelance scenographer and costume designer working across film, theater and dance, with a background in scenography and over ten years of experience across stage and screen.

I approach each project as a different visual world rather than working within a fixed style. My work begins with the story, the director’s vision and the performer — whether that means historical research and sourcing, developing a character through costume, working directly with materials, or shaping the space of a performance.

For me, costume is not simply about making someone look good. It should help an actor feel right in their role. Scenography works in a similar way: the space should feel as though it could only belong to that particular world.

I’m comfortable working across different scales and genres, independently or as part of a larger creative team.
