THEA 2408

This is a continuation of THEA 2407.03. By examining the aesthetics of contemporary dress, this course will enable the student to understand established systems used to create clothing, utilizing body image as principal means. Through the study and application of systematic principles, the student will gain a better understanding of people’s need to define body image in terms of ornamental self-expression and social identification. Students will participate in Fountain School productions and learn first-hand the role of the backstage costume team during technical rehearsals and the run of the production. This course is part of the Costume Studies Program.
