Costume in Action
Production:
Costume In Action (self devised dance performance piece considering the limitations of the Pandemic towards theatre)
Setting:
Underground Ball Scene, Drag Club “Club Tropicana”, present day
Brief:
Designing costumes for a dance piece, considering an overall cohesive look, 85% of each costume must be made using recycled materials.
Concept
I’m designing for a hypothetical ballroom competition, specifically the costumes for the drag house, “House of Amar”. Their conceptual look is “70’s samba”, costumes inspired by iconic music videos and glam rock fashions such as Abba, Tony Orlando, David Bowie and
Marc Bolan. Also dancing in a fusion style of samba carnival and funky disco moves. I’ve informed the red and blue colour scheme using recycled denim and sheer red polysesters, used to create an overall cohesive look amongst the drag house members.
