Ray Bradbury was Columbia College Chicago's 2009 Honorary Degree Recipient. In conjunction with Columbia College's National Endowment for the Arts Big Read grant, I designed and created 18 costumed characters from Bradbury's novels, short stories, and screen plays with Columbia's Spectacle Build Shop.
These costumed characters participated in Manifest, Columbia College Chicago's end of the year arts festival.
Here is a video interview with Ray Bradbury, featuring many of my design sketches.
Special thanks goes to:
Jennifer Friedrich, Columbia College Chicago Manifest Artistic Director
Joy Dennis, Columbia College Chicago Spectacle Build Shop Manager, Sculptor
Jesarae Richards, Manifest Painter

"Elsa Hiltner's costumes are inspired. They are not only true to the period of each play, but true to the character, paying attention to the actors' silhouettes and colors. ...they are always absolutely right." -Jacob Clark, Seattle Gay News
