Introduction to Costume Design

IP: Design (Costume)

Suitable for students embarking on their HSC Drama Individual Project: Design (Costumes)

Designer Imogen Ross explores the essential principles of costume design and offers starting points for theatre in relation to approaching the individual project.

This design workshop includes practical activities and gives students the chance to examine a professional costume designer’s portfolio. During the workshop students will be introduced to the:

  • process of designing costumes from initial design ideas to the final costume on stage,
  • elements that make an effective costume design,
  • role of costume design in the overall production,
  • tools available to the costume designer: line, colour and texture.

This workshop is intended to help you create design concepts through costume theory and a practical exploration of design techniques, guided by a Belvoir artist. Artists delivering this workshop will not be providing guidance on specifics of the HSC Individual Project (IP) requirements. For information on your IP assessment requirements you should consult your teacher.

Digital Workshop

You can choose to visit us at Belvoir (Sat 19 Nov) or join us online (Sun 27 Nov).

These two sessions are similar, but not the exact same due to the nature of the online interaction. They will cover much of the same content.

Our Digital Workshop is offered to provide access to Regional and rural students. Where travel to Belvoir is possible we recommend joining our In Person workshop.
