Nakano Sheepdog Theatre

Sheepdog Theatre is seeking a Wardrobe Supervisor / Costume Designer (Intern/Volunteer) to lead the costume/wardrobe department for our March–April 2026 production of Art by Yasmina Reza in Tokyo.

This role begins with Art, which will be a simpler wardrobe build, primarily purchased pieces adjusted and tailored as needed, alongside a small number of handmade elements.

It's a great way to establish our working rhythm and wardrobe workflow.


If the collaboration is a strong fit on both sides, we'd love to discuss continuing into our larger-scale production of Much Ado About Nothing (Nov–Dec 2026 with pre-production starting in April), where the costume approach will be significantly more ambitious, with fully handmade costumes, offering substantial hands-on experience across pattern work, construction, fittings, and finishing (excellent for expanding skills and building a strong portfolio).

Working period
Now – April 2026 (Art)
Initial concept discussions begin immediately
Schedule is flexible and can be discussed during the interview

Responsibilities
Work with the Director and Producer to refine costume concepts and produce sketches/design details
Lead the creation of costumes for the production
Construct garments (cutting, sewing, assembling, finishing) using provided materials and equipment
Create placeholder pieces for early rehearsals and marketing/PR shoots as needed
Supervise and guide a small costume team assisting with sewing and preparation
Conduct fittings, take measurements, and manage alterations
Maintain, repair, and organize costumes throughout rehearsals and performances
Track costume plots, quick changes, and wardrobe logistics
Keep the costume workspace organized and maintain a materials inventory
Support costume needs during promotional photo/video sessions

Qualifications
Sewing skills required (machine and/or hand sewing)
Ability to construct garments, alter clothing, and/or work from patterns
Strong organisation and attention to detail
Creative interest in costume design and theatre production
Ability to collaborate closely with Director/Producer on design execution
Comfortable leading a small team (or eager to develop leadership skills)
Good communication and interpersonal skills
Tokyo-based or able to commute

What we offer
All materials, fabric, tools, and equipment supplied
Mentorship in costume design, wardrobe supervision, and leadership
Real production credits for your CV/portfolio
A collaborative, international creative environment
Hands-on experience turning concepts into finished costumes
Early creative involvement through rehearsal/marketing placeholder builds
