Jessica Helbach is a Dutch designer and one of the co-creators behind ‘Out of the Blue’. In this episode Jessica talks about her role as a costume designer and about her process: starting broad then getting down to the details. She also speaks about co-creating the world of ‘Out of the Blue’ with all its historical references, colours and textures, and the language of her collaboration with choreographer, Anouk van Dijk.

‘Out of the Blue‘ is a collaboration between Skånes Dansteater, Malmö Opera Orchestra and Malmö Opera Children's Chorus. The work premiered at Malmö Opera 4 December 2021.
