The craftsmanship involved in every costume, and how a costume looks and feels, enables our actors to transform into the characters you see on stage. The original use of ‘ stitch in time’involves the prompt sewing of small holes or tears in a garment, saving the need to do more stitching at a later date. Over the years, Jeba had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of individuals, both professionally and through her volunteer work, including coordinating projects aimed at raising awareness about crucial health and mental health issues within marginalised communities, such as a tenure as a project coordinator at Social Action for Health. The work of SIT has captured her interest, as it empowers disadvantaged women by nurturing their creativity and imparting essential life skills.
