A Lesson on the Importance of the Body in Costume Design

Abstract

Before coming to UCSD for graduate school, there were two main influences in my costume design work: the art of animation and the art of grand opera. Once I arrived, I quickly learned that there was more to theatrical costume design than creating beautiful visuals. In this thesis, I will speak on the most valuable lesson I learned in graduate school, about the other important influence for a costume designer: the actor and the actor’s body.
