Hello I am Alastair Sigala Ramirez I was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas. I am a lighting and costume designer. I received my A.S. in Theatre Arts from Amarillo College, my  B.A.  in Theatre Arts from Texas Wesleyan University, and my  M.F.A in Theatre Arts from the University of Iowa.

​

When I work as a lighting and costume designer it is me reading the script and analyzing what the environment may feel like, what is the mood, whether any moments shift, and what is the theme. Then talking to the director and designers, asking about their vision of the show. We then work together to create the visual aspect of the story. This process is something that is just so cathartic and unifying. Everyone puts a piece of themselves into the story.

​

For me, a lot of what I do as a lighting and costume designer is put myself into my design work. I draw inspiration from all parts of myself whether that be my Latine identity, my queerness, or just pop cultural references. All these parts affect my creative work.
