A self taught costume designer, she originally began making costumes while still in college and not being able to afford to hire someone to make costumes for her dances. Her spare beginnings consisted of a $75 thrift bough
t sewing machine, many replacement needles, de-constructed clothing to make patterns from, and the idea that someday the task of sewing would become easier. Fast forward about 18 years, Atalee has gone on to design (or fix) costumes for most of Chicago's established modern dance companies including: Chicago Moving Company, Mordine & Company Dance Theater, Mad Shak Dance, The Dance COLEctive, Same Planet Different World, Colleen Halloran Performance Group, Peter Carpenter Performance Project, The Seldoms, Hedwig Dances, and many more. Her list of creative ventures and performances in Chicago spans over 19 years. Atalee is artistic director and founder of BONEdanse Productions. She would like to thank Margi Cole for the opportunity of making costumes for her and, to just say, it is always a pleasure. Please visit: bonedanse.com to contact or learn more about Atalee.
