Tahra Zafar

Tahra works internationally on a freelance basis creating costumes, creatures puppets and extraordinary creations for film, TV, theatre, music and events. She has worked on many varied projects, including heading up the Costume, Hair and Make-up Department for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Tahra has been co-producing and developing Theatre in a Box, with her long-term friend and colleague Nicola Killeen. The project, created from individual responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, including the closing of theatres and event spaces, consists of 20 separate art works. Each design piece, stored in a box, will contain jewel-like items of fantasy created by a renowned theatre designer collaborating with world leading costume makers, milliners, dyers, puppet and prop makers.
