This is an intensive, vocational and highly practical course covering all aspects of costume work. This includes pattern drafting (flat and on the stand), costume construction, corset making (flat and on the stand), millinery, ruffs and rebatos, foundation wear, stretch wear and body padding, basic tailoring techniques, hand and machine embroidery, tutu construction, printing techniques, dyeing, distressing and costume enhancement. The supervisory elements include costume supervision, costume assisting and the various roles within the costume department. This includes hiring and buying to budget, wig care, basic make up, organising fittings and keeping an accurate and up-to-date costume bible, shopping to specific briefs as well as liaising with designers and directors. You will work to given designs, drafting, fixing and making for, and dressing the School’s public productions and TV shoots, which typically number between twelve and fourteen per year. You will find that this intensely practical and vocational two-year course will enable you to experience all the different aspects of the costume professional’s role across stage and screen. You will be given the opportunity to learn a range of practical skills and applications to enable you to fulfil the various roles within the costume Industry, including assistant costume supervisor, costume supervisor and costume maker for both stage and screen. You will work to realise given designs. This may include sourcing costumes and fabrics, drafting patterns and making garments. All of the above follow safe working practices with relevant equipment. We aim to encourage a good flow of communication, work to deadlines and work towards independently producing items of costumes. All of the School’s many productions are staffed by students supported by tutors. Training is applicable to a wide range of employment in theatre, film and TV and is taught by School costume tutors and visiting industry professionals at Downside Rd and, when circumstances permit, on location. You will work through the various costume roles building on experience within the School’s productions. All of these roles happen within the environment of a professional production under the guidance of the Costume tutors. All of the roles and skills that you encounter in your first year enable you to assess and consider your strengths and preferences as you move forward into your second year. Students who successfully complete the FdA Costume for Theatre, Television and Film may apply to the one year BA (Hons) Costume for Theatre, Television and Film top-up award. Please note: All applicants must be aged 18 or over at the start of the course. We will not accept applications if you have previously applied in four or more consecutive years.
