Costume Design Studio II

Catalog description

This course will explore unconventional costume designs for theatre, dance, and mediated performance. It will deal with the special considerations found in some plays and performance pieces, such as the theatricalization of non-human subjects (animals, plants, elements, magical creatures, etc.), the visualization of music, or the support or enhancement of movement. It will cover alternative ways to create character through costume, make-up, masks, and wearable forms of puppetry. Students will be responsible for script reading, character analysis, written concepts, visual research, and rendering of design sketches for three projects, as well as other exercises. (PMA-DE)
