Costume for Dance examines the interdisciplinary art of dressing the body for dance in its various forms: dance dress, non-dress, “costume” and every day dress in relation to the moving body. By approaching these aesthetic concepts through cultural and historical lenses, students gain perspective on this highly specialized field of design. Through survey of documents and materials, students reflect on the overall concept of body movement, demands of choreography of particular works and the effects of various fabrics in motion. There will be an emphasis on research and collaborative relationships between costume designers and choreographers.
