A Lecture/Discussion/Hands-on Format with Handout with a THEA Award Winning Costume Designer


Have you ever wondered how an actor changes from one outfit/character to the next so quickly, how to alter a costume to fit several different people or simply how did they get that to look like that? This workshop will explore the many techniques and tricks used to produce costumes that will look great and will be enjoyable for the actors to wear. Topics will include re-sizing and altering patterns, specialty sewing techniques, altering existing streetwear for the stage, the use of fasteners, adding embellishments and sew much more! Participants are encouraged to bring a sewing kit (scissors, needles, thimble, etc.) and a project to work on, if desired. Bringing your own sewing machine may also be a benefit for the hands-on portion of the day but is not a requirement.
