Week 6 Costume (West)

There is something that only a Costume can do. It connects something better than anything else on stage. Costume gives Time and Place. Is it here or there? Is it then or now?

What does color, pattern, material, texture, and weight convey?

It can be literal or metaphorical.

How can costume become poetry?
