Fruzsina Nagy
CV
I am a Hungarian costume designer, based in Budapest and presently working on numerous productions in theatre in Hungary and other European countries. I began my studies in London (1993) and completed an MA in Textile Design in Hungary (1998). I got my DLA diploma in 2014, which focuses on the teaching methods in relation to theatrical masks and make-up. I am interested in the relationship of the human body and its surrounding world in every aspect: costumes, masks, make-up, fashion or visuals. In Hungary I worked with Viktor Bodó at Sputnyik Theater, Árpád Schilling at Krétakör Company, Róbert Alföldi at National Theater, Tamás Ascher and Gábor Máté at József Katona Theater and many others. Abroad I worked in Graz, Basel, Cologne, Vienna, St.Pölkten, Munich, Zurich and Heidelberg. I also teach at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Art, and University of Applied arts.
Over the past decade I directed or co-directed five Costume shows, where I used costumes as the „Main Caracters” of the stage. These costumes were eather experimental, or unusual always reflecting on something I was interested at the time.
I won the best costume pize in the Theater festival of Pécs in year 2009, and 2012, and the Critics prize in 2008 and 2009. In 2016 I won the „Costume designer of the Year” prize.
