A Look into the 2009-2010 School Year with Couture Productions
After an amazing performance at the 2009 Mr. 1913 Pageant, I decided to catch up with Miss Couture, Miranda Stanfield to talk about what the public can expect from Couture this year. Here is what she had to say.
Noravia McCoy: What is Couture Productions and how long have you been a member?
Miranda Stanfield: Couture Productions is a Production team of college students who specialize in the stylish presentation of innovative performance. Our organization consists of models, dancers, singers, poets and more. We also have behind the stage coordinators which consist of make-up artists, curtains, lights, paintings and drawings. We are the largest student organization on campus, second only to A&T's marching band. I have been a member of Couture since spring 2008.
NM: As a member with experience, what takes place in practices that make you all come out and give over the top performances?
MS: Dedication! Dedication is definitely the key to performing well. Members who join Couture must come in with a positive attitude and always be ready to learn. It is important for us all to work together so when we put on a show it is unified.
NM: There are a lot of rumors that about this organization that are spread around campus. Some of them include things such as everybody in Couture has a nasty attitude, you all practice until 8 a.m., and more. Would you like to clear any of that up for the students?
MS: Yes. Although Couture may have a bad reputation for attitude, that is not at all the case. We actually get along pretty well. At times we may disagree on certain issues but for the most part we all get along and treat each other as a family. As for the late practices, there are times when we may practice more than usual specifically when were a day or two away from the show, but 8 a.m. in the morning is outrageous.
NM: When is the next show and what can we expect?
MS: Our next big show will be the 2009 homecoming event. It will consist of performances from Couture, Verge and other local acts. As far as Couture goes, you can definitely expect a jaw dropping experience. This year we are coming very hard at homecoming. We plan to put on an unforgettable performance that will have everyone talking about it until our next show.
NM: How can students who are interested become a part of Couture Productions?
MS: If students are interested in joining Couture, they will have to wait until spring 2010. They will be a part of a selection process which includes an interview, an interactive workshop and an open try-out.
To see the next upcoming performance by Couture Productions, students can attend North Carolina A&T’s 2009 homecoming fashion show on Wednesday, October 28, at Carolina Theatre. The price is to be announced.
