A designer & community artist based in Manchester, Nerissa designs and makes stuff. She also helps others to design and make stuff.
I design, make & source costumes. I am Director of Design at Aqueous Humour, a street theatre company, in charge of design for all the professional shows and community projects. My shopping skills often come into play as much my technical skills when it comes to obtaining the right fabrics or out of fashion/season items. I have a studio in Islington Mill, Salford, for making costumes & have built up quite a collection of costumes, accessories & wigs at Aqueous Humour which I can use for costume workshops & short projects.

Models with beauty and stunning vacuity attempt to stand out from the crowd. It’s all about being seen in the right places and with the right people. On the run from the paparazzi, they are dazzled by every camera lens just like a moth in headlights.
Summer 2002 proved very busy in Manchester with events for the Jubilee and Commonwealth Games. The Jubilee parade theme was Feast of Delights. Bury’s link country was Tuvalu, a set of pacific islands slowly sinking into the sea.

Polyamore is a musical based on the story of Jacob and his many wives. It was performed by second year students all sharing a main role and chorus duties.
Aqueous Humour cause monstrous mayhem with an action packed performance, which follows a family of alien swamp monsters on a day trip to Earth, as they try to blend in and explore both the interesting and the banal with equal joy and excitement, creating hilarious comic results.
