This two part workshop, led by Barbara Joyce-Evans will take choreographers and dancers through the use of everyday clothing as costume pieces. Session 1 of ‘Costuming Off the Rack’ will include discussion about inspiration, fabrics, design concepts, needs of choreographer and dancers, makers and stitchers for alterations, and instructions for the creation of an inspiration board. Session 2 will move to a local retailer putting in motion the concepts learned in the first session. Attendees will “shop” and learn how to find and work with manufactured items to create a costume look based on their inspiration boards.
