FROM PAPER TO PERFORMANCE

Get Tix

led by EMILY WEISSMAN
MAY 8, 2027
2-4 pm

In this hands-on workshop, participants will dive into the fundamentals of costume design for theatre, exploring the design process from renderings to performance. We’ll examine the work of different designers and how their costumes help tell stories and enrich characters. Participants will then sketch their own costume renderings and bring their designs to life in a newspaper runway show, where they’ll construct costumes using only newspaper and tape.

All workshops will take place in the Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space at 511 W. 52nd Street in Hell’s Kitchen. You can find out more about our Workshops and other Public Engagement offerings here.
