On this first day of December, I'm delighted to share a meaningful conversation with Eleonora Martynyuk, the brilliant costume designer behind Ballet Philippines' 'Peter Pan.'

Eleonora graduated from a Moscow choreographic college. She also graduated from Aviation and Technological Institute for Direction, Management of State and Municipal Enterprises. She was a former dancer for 'Russian Imperial Ballet,' the Ballet Moscow (a modern dance company), and the Russian State Ballet Theatre.' She studied the history of theatrical costumes in Moscow and the Philippines. She finished and design school ' Style studio', studied draping, pattern, sewing, drawing under the guidance of Ms. Grace Paguila.
