THEATRE COSTUME DESIGN ADVANCED STUDY
The Advanced Study Program in Theatre Costume Design is an intense, concentrated program designed to encompass the many aspects of costuming for the legitimate stage and the entertainment industry. The student learns costume crafts, costume design, costume construction, rendering, script analysis and breakdown, and the history of costume and décor. The Theatre Costume Design specialization prepares the exceptional student to enter the rigorous field of costuming for theatre and the entertainment industry.
What Our Students Learn In our program, students learn all aspects of the craft, from script analysis and the history of costume and décor to costume design and construction.
Why FIDM FIDM is uniquely poised at the heart of the West Coast's entertainment and fashion industries to provide students with specialized skills and opportunities for building a successful career in Theatre Costume Design. Each year students in this Advanced Study Program design costumes around a theatrical theme, that are then presented at the DEBUT Runway Show to an audience including industry notables. Past themes have included Moulin Rouge, Les Misérables, and Phantom of the Opera.
