COSTUME DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY
About me
I am an Artist, Technologist, Project Manager, and a Mentor to young people in educational, and professional environment. I have been working on various projects in regional and national venues for drama, musical theatre, opera, dance, film, and children’s theatre. Because of my passion for design, crafts, and construction, I have actively participated in all aspects of the process of costume creation. Through collaborations, personal examinations, and experimentations, I have gained practical skills, and expanded my recourses for creative solutions, while searching for a new approach to design and technology.

February 18, 2018, by James Sohre
“Mariya Radeva-Nedyalkova has created a spot-on costume design that perfectly defines the station of this low-income, blue-collar characters. The mother makes one key entrance in a costume so apt for the moment that a ripple of knowing approval for “the look” ran through the house.”

"Costume designer Mariya Radeva-Nedyalkova has outfitted the characters beautifully in shades of black, white and grey. (Her sketches decorate the program as well.) The ladies' Victorian gowns are especially lovely, and Mendenhall's coaching ensures that the actresses wear them with style."
