Abstract
This interview with Sharon E. Secord (Head of Wardrobe for the Opening, Victory, and Closing Ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games) took place on the two-year anniversary of her participation in the event (12 February 2012). The article presents excerpts that have been edited and reorganized with an effort to develop a vocabulary for what Sharon articulates as the “stuff” of her work. Three broad categories related to the labour conditions of Secord's efforts (contracts, space, and collaboration) take the focus in this conversation, and mark an attempt to shift scholarly emphasis away from the aesthetic artifact and towards the development of a language that can discuss the politics implicit in the means of producing large-scale events like the Olympic ceremonies.
