Hilary Rosenfeld has an extensive resume as a costume designer for film and theater, with a long list of independent films, studio productions and television projects to her credit. As a costume designer, she is probably best known for the runaway hit “Dirty Dancing.” Some of her other film credits include “Dessert Bloom,” “Dominick and Eugene,” “No Mercy,” “At Close Range,” “Eyewitness,” “Heartland,” “Triumph of the Spirit,” and “The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez”. Her costume designs for theater and opera have been seen on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in regional theaters and at the Juilliard School where she collaborated with the accomplished opera director Edward Berkely. At the Public Theater she enjoyed a rewarding collaboration with the ground breaking theater artist Elizabeth Swados. Rosenfeld’s career has also taken her into the job of production designer. Her production design credits include the PBS Program “Rickover: The Father of Nuclear Power,” “Downtown Express,” the award winning short “Unburden” for the Jacob Burns Film Center, as well as the Sundance Film Festival’s featured films “Human Error” and “Caught,” both directed by the master filmmaker Robert M Young. Rosenfeld has also worked with the New York based group Rehabilitation Through Art. One of the productions she designed scenery and costumes for RTA was “The Wiz” at the Bedford Hills Women’s Correctional Facility. For this show her scenery was built in Sing Sing and the sets were painted in Bedford Hills with the help of the prison population.
She is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts Department of Theater and Film Design where she taught until her recent move to Rhode Island.
