Genevieve Schmidt

As a multidisciplinary artist, I like to tell stories using whatever medium I can learn. As of right now, those mediums include costume design, choreography, directing, acting, dancing, and singing.

My vibrant and bright painting style reflects in my designs, where I work primarily with color. Every time I work on a new project, I will look at the concept statement and paint a color story using my watercolor palette, which I haven't cleaned in 3 years. I like to be bold with my artistic creations, both design-wise, and performance-wise.

As an actress, singer, and dancer, I am typically one who will make extremely bold choices. It is because of this that I am particularly known among my friends for playing mostly comedy roles. When it feels appropriate, I will improvise a small dance when I sing, or I will start speaking in a dialect. If it's the wrong choice, then I won't do it again, but at least I tried.

Growing up, I always struggled with reading comprehension, so it was always difficult for me to understand deeper meanings in pieces of text. Because of this, whenever I try to tell a story in an artistic way, I always make sure that my younger self would be able to understand what's going on.

I am striving to work in professional musical theater, either as a costume designer, choreographer, director, or performer; or better yet: all of the above!
