Costumes play a\nsignificant role in the actualization of any performing arts. They strongly\nhelp elaborate the story and immediately give audience a visual understanding\non what the characters are trying to portray. Therefore, aside from preparing\nwell-thought-of designs, costume designers must be very meticulous in\nconceptualizing costumes that would capture the underlying implications of the\ncharacters motives and aspirations throughout the production. And once again, Filipinos\nproved to be gifted in this field of arts as the multi-awarded Cebuano theater\ndesigner, Clint Ramos wins his Tony\nAward for Best Costume Design for his work in the Broadway play \u201cEclipsed\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early\nlife as a Designer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clint Ramos is the\nson of the topnotch Cebu-based lawyer Erlinda Boiser Ramos who initially\nwanted him to follow her footsteps. He was a former student of St. Benedict’s\nLearning Centre before he pursued his secondary studies in the Philippine\nScience High School in Diliman, Quezon City. His interest towards performing arts was cultivated during the time of\nMarcos regime when he joined the drama club \u201cKamalayan\u201d which then introduced\nhim to the <\/strong>Philippine Educational Theater\nAssociation where they <\/strong>portrayed allegorical\npieces against the regime.<\/strong> This then made him realize how theater art could\nbe a medium for social change and awareness. There he met the now Artistic\nDirector of Cultural\nCenter of the Philippines Chris Millado and Tony Mabesa whom he considered\nas a great Filipino director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then pursued Theater Arts\nin UP Diliman and became a member of University of the Philippines\u2019 theater\norganization, Dulaang UP, where he began his journey towards costume design. His\nfirst costume design was for the play 12th<\/sup>\nNight<\/em> followed by The Tempest<\/em>\nwhich was his thesis. He was able to work with the renowned actress, Eugene\nDomingo in the M. Butterfly <\/em>production<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Achievements as a Costume Designer
<\/strong>Clint Ramos was the theater designer of the first Broadway play with an all-black and female creative team and cast, including the Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong\u2019o. \u201cEclipsed\u201d tells the story of five surviving Liberian women amid the end of the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003. Ramos\u2019 costumes played a rather complicated role in the play as these costumes need to exhibit the contrasting pop-culture of brand items while delivering subtle political and societal implications of the country at such difficult time in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, Clint Ramos was also\nable to work with Bradley Cooper in the \u201cElephant Man\u201d, an off-Broadway\nproduction of \u201cHere Lies Love\u201d, a musical about Imelda Marcos, and the \u201cThe Duchess of Malfi\/Ang Dukesa ng Malfi\u201d by Dulaang UP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clint Ramos has won two OBIE\nAwards, three Lucille Awards, two American Theater Wing Henry Hewes Awards, TDF\nIrene Sharraf Young Master Award, Helen Hayes Award, and Craig Noel Award. In\nthe Philippines, he received twice the Ani ng Dangal Presidential Medal for\ndramatic arts from the President of the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having based in New York, he also\ndesigned dozens of shows in New York Theater Workshop, Roundabout Theater\nCompany, Lincoln Center Theater, Playwrights Horizons, Second Stage, Signature\nTheater, Classic Stage Company, Ma-Yi, NAATCO, Clubbed Thumb, New Georges,\nWomen\u2019s Project, Soho Playhouse, Mint Theater, Red Bull Theater, The Asia\nSociety, and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To inspire more young people\nabout the impacts of theater design, he also works as professor and Head of\nDesign and Production at Fordham University, Scenic Design at SUNY Purchase and\na visiting professor of New York University\u2019s Tisch School of the Art and\nGeorgetown University. He holds a Master\u2019s Degree in Fine Arts from New York\nUniversity through the Gary Kalkin Memorial Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of his theater career, he is also a board of FIERCE NY \u2013 an organization devoted in building leadership and power among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
