Inspired by legendary playwright Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls..., The Rainbow is Enuf is a modern circus show illuminated by the experiences of people of color. Using circus arts, dance, and original text, The Rainbow Is Enuf peers into the lives of six people of African descent as they share intimate stories of existing in a world shaped by patriarchy, sexism, racism and the community that grows from these shared experiences.
I worked with Veronica to design costumes that would showcase each cast member’s personality and match the tone of their story, while creating cohesion across the ensemble. I designed the costumes to complement each performer’s skin tone, as well as the practical needs of their discipline.
