Each semester, we have the honor of profiling some of the incredible professional artists involved in our TDM productions. Our next artist spotlight this fall shines on Trevor Bowen! Trevor is the costume designer for the fall TDM production, Cells. Learn more about Trevor’s work at www.trevorbowendesign.com

What inspires you as an artist and creative?

I am inspired everyday as I see people move about their daily lives. 

Clothing is often a response to a stimulus, and I am endlessly fascinated by folx.

What excites you about Cells?

Cells is very exciting as it deals with love and memory and the complex way emotions contextualize a moment in one's life.

What has it been like collaborating with the team on this project?

Collaboration on this story has been a lot of fun. I have really enjoyed chatting character analysis with the cast, and getting a sense of how they are inhabiting the roles.

What projects are you working on next?

I am working on a La Boheme that is set in contemporary Paris at MN Opera, and a three Shakespeare History cycle at the Guthrie Theater.
