Costume Show

 

 

The Costume Show was a collaboration with the BA Costume Design Students. Our obligation was to create a digital scenography- background for the costumes presentation. Each class-year had a different era and style. My team was responsible for the Hernrietta Maria and the Elizabethan era. According to the styles, the fabrics and the patterns of the costumes, we created two videos that demonstrate the essence of these two times in the history of costume.

Our research was based on images that we found from history books and from the internet costume design sites.

 

In this task we were also responsible for the set design of the show, in order to support both the presentation of the costumes and the visuals. After several group meetings  we designed few ideas that could be able to work in the university theatre space. The following images demonstrate the development of the set design.
