A substantive exploration of theatrical costume Stage costumes reveal character. They tell audiences who the character is or how a character functions within the world of the play, among other things. Theatrical costuming, however, along with other forms of theatre design, has often been considered merely a craft, rather than part of the deeply systemic creation of meaning onstage. In what ways do our clothes shape and reveal our habits of behavior? How do stage costumes work to reveal one kind of habit via the manipulation of another? How might theatre practitioners learn to most effectively exploit this dynamic? Theatre Symposium, Volume 26 analyzes the ways in which meaning is conveyed through costuming for the stage and explores the underlying assumptions embedded in theatrical practice and costume production.THEATRE SYMPOSIUM, VOLUME 26MICHELE MAJERPlus que Reine: The Napoleonic Revival in Belle Epoque Theatre and FashionCAITLIN QUINNCreating a Realistic Rendering Pedagogy: The Fashion Illustration ProblemALY RENEE AMIDEIWhere'd I Put My Character?: The Costume Character Body and Essential Costuming for the Ensemble ActorKYLA KAZUSCHYKEmbracing the Chaos: Creating Costumes for Devised WorkDAVID S.
