7th-12th Grade: Intro to Costumes and Stage Makeup

In this four-week workshop, students will explore what goes into creating a character’s look for the stage. They will learn the fundamentals of costume and makeup design and gain hands-on experience developing a character’s visual style. Students will experiment with stage makeup techniques on themselves and explore how costumes, makeup, and design choices can help bring a character to life. This workshop is a great opportunity for students interested in theatre who want to explore the creative elements of production beyond performance.
