Project review

I am very pleased with the final outcome of my project! I believe I managed to achieve an extremely high standard of fabrication and finish on the completed sign, thanks to the talent and expertise of the team at Remco Signs - I am very glad that I had the sign professionally made as I am certain that had I tried to fabricate elements of it myself as I had originally planned to do, that it would not have looked as high quality as it now does.

I am also very pleased with how the event went and with the feedback from audience members and several other burlesque club organisers who attended - particularly with regards to the sign which they all agreed was an innovative and effective addition to the event. This was exactly the reaction I had hoped for, and I think it illustrates that the audience members saw the sign as a new and exciting added element to the cabaret experience, just as I had hoped.

Though Oz did not manage to see the project through to completion with me as previously hoped, he was still extremely pleased with the work that I did and expressed his gratitude in the following statement:

‘Miranda has been a pleasure to work with on the Theatre of the Divine project. Both creatively and in terms of sheer effort and enthusiasm that she has shown, I couldn't recommend her more highly. She produced artwork and ideas to an excellent standard and kept to my brief very precisely but with the flexibility and skill to adapt to new ideas and directions as they developed.
I was most impressed with her diligence to the task in hand and ability to create 'on the move'.
I have worked as an international fashion photographer for fifteen years with some of the great creatives of my generation and I can honestly say that Miranda has the potential to make an exciting mark in the industry. I would happily work with her on any relevant upcoming projects.’

Oz was very grateful that I managed to hold a successful first night of the event he had envisioned despite his difficult circumstances making it impossible for him to help. We hope to collaborate again and hold another Theatre of the Divine event in the future!
