BIO + CONTACT

Sierra Wypych is a costume designer, actor, and dramaturg based out of Santa Cruz, California. They are currently pursuing their master's degree in Theater Arts, with a Design Concentration, at UC Santa Cruz. Their focus is on consent-based costume design practices, how to support actors' agency in costuming and fitting spaces, and the relationship between actors with marginalized identities and the embodiment of their characters-- particularly trans and queer actors.
Sierra has experience as a costume constructor, stitcher, director, comedy writer, fiber artist, and musician. Having studied history and literature during undergrad, they love to explore how dramaturgy and historical research intersect in all areas of theater and performance.
