Costuming is the process of making and putting together costumes. In this course we’ll be making and putting together costumes for our Drama and Song & Dance groups, as well as assisting costuming forFilm and TV, with the possibility of making and designing costumes for affiliated groups, outside of YourDNA.

Our process will involve collaboration with other groups, related skill building such as learning to hand sew and sew with a machine, learning to read patterns, buying material and other related supplies, taking measurements, thinking about what materials we’ll need and if the costume will need a wig, makeup/face paint or other accessories, scavenging op shops and some practical and computer organisational skills.

It’s a very self-satisfying experience to make something out of nothing, come along and have some fun while you’re learning some new skills.
