Description
Costumes for devised and physical theatre are often designed with flexibility and adaptability in mind. This approach differs from traditional costume work for naturalistic performance, presenting unique challenges that can be overcome with effective design solutions.
This book addresses the specialized needs of designers working in contemporary circus, dance, and other forms of physical theatre. It provides guidance on designing, cutting, making, and fitting costumes, as well as the role of the designer/maker within a devising company. Practical tips are also offered for managing time and budget during the often-changing process of devised work.
