Designing for “Personalities”

A recent article in The New York Times (Juan Ramirez, 2024, “The Broadway Actor Who Designs Dressing Rooms Inspired by Her Characters,” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/17/t-magazine/krysta-rodriguez-dressing-room-design.html ) focuses on dressing rooms created by an actress to reflect the personalities of the characters she’s playing.

Krysta Rodriguez creates spaces where her character would be comfortable “even if it’s not my [her] personal style.” Rodriguez adds that “’My design and renovation work relates so much to my acting,’ Rodriguez says. In both cases, ‘you want to figure out who this person is and what experiences have made them who they are.’ Unlike a primary home, she adds, dressing rooms don’t have to be functional; they just need to provide respite.”
