2008 Winner reflects Samoan Juliet

Setaimata Sharon Siaumau, a Year 12 student from Lynfield College, Auckland, was the Supreme Winner of the 2008 Bernina/Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ) Costume Design Competition.


Setaimata impressed the judges with a wonderfully creative Samoan version of a costume for Juliet. “We really liked the use of Samoan elements along with your supporting information, which reflected the thought that had gone into how the personality of Juliet was portrayed. Your consideration of how the actor could move in the design was also noted.”


 

The Supreme Winner was announced at an Award Ceremony on1st June 2008 and the four winning designs displayed at Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition in London for three weeks. In July 2009, Setaimata was also lucky enough to be invited to travel to the United Kingdom for three weeks of lectures, workshops and work experience at the Globe Theatre in London and in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
