Biography
Costume and set designer Carl Michna Michel was born April 3, 1928. A former resident of Canyon, Texas, he was a graduate of Yale University School of Drama and also studied in Europe. Michel designed and executed costumes for theatre productions, later gravitating to designing costumes almost exclusively for the ballet. Michel designed costumes for some 17 ballets for Dance Theatre of Harlem from 1973 to 1990, also designing sets for a number of them; Michel also co-authored (with Arthur Mitchell) the scenario for the company's production of Giselle (1984). He became production supervisor for Dance Theatre of Harlem in 1985. Michel designed costumes for over 15 other ballet companies and was a member of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades and United Scenic Artists. He died Nov. 12, 2004.
