Description
Using theoretical projects, we work through the
initial steps of creative brainstorming, design
dramaturgy and research, to the
sketching and pre- visualization of ideas to the
final steps of presentation of a design process.
Understading how costume has
evolved historically is key to understanding the
role costume plays today in various performance
ecologies.
The projects will focus on a wide range of design
approaches for live performance from traditional
drama, opera and dance to
spectacle and themed entertainment.
Emphasis will be placed on developing
communication skills and enhance the students
ability to collaborate with fellow artists in
concept -creation, analysis and image making.
