Reviews and testamonials

Circe's Carnival of Vice

"The costuming (Zachary Dixon) is of particular note and undoubtedly adds a layer of dedication and imagination to the roles. The attention to detail in the costuming is impressive and effectively does the work of creating the setting. The colourful and flowing fabrics look beautifully tailored and are combined with fine or precious looking accessories. This creates a visually astonishing effect, especially when the actors are collectively present on the stage." (Stage Whisrpers - Patricia Di Risio)

Circe's Carnival of Vice

"Among the many standouts in Carnival of Vice is the extraordinary costuming by Zachary Dixon. Dixon has made a fine art out of corsetry and finery, which I couldn’t get enough of. Bravo, for it added much to what was a decided walk on the wild side." (Heavy Cinmea - Alex First)

Spring Awakening

Circe's Carnival of Vice

A Midsummer Night's Dream

"Zachary Dixon creates a lush and lively world for the ensemble to play in, displaying their exceptional skills as the work’s Set and Costume Designer. Sumptuous touches of camp decadence fill the space and create a lavish playground of foreboding and innocence. " (Australian Arts Review)

A Midsummer Night's Dream

"What Sevenfold's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream excels at is the glorious set and costumes created by designer Zachary Dixon." (What Did She Think)

Buyer and Cellar

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Buyer and Cellar

" The white finery of the set and the simplicity of the costumes give a wonderful slate for the giddying and joyful lighting to bounce and twirl off. " (Australian Arts Review)

Music

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Buyer and Cellar

"Director Zachary Dixon is also the designer and his stylized, open yet claustrophobic design for Adam’s flat is elegant, clever, and disturbing." (Stage Whispers - Michael Brindley)
