AUCB Study Abroad

Costume with Performance Design

This course addresses design and manufacture for the performance industry with specific focus on developing a conceptual understanding of performance design. This is a diverse and demanding subject; students need to be interested in art, design and all types of performance to support the study of the dazzling array of genres they will encounter on this course, including theatre, film, television, ballet, opera, circus and the study of new performance disciplines.

The University College is a very exciting place to study; you will work alongside students from the film, make-up, and acting courses on staged and filmed productions.This is a very labour intensive subject and the workload is heavy. However, we provide a strong support network to all students in an inspiring and supportive environment.

Year 2 is all about learning advanced technical skills, testing and challenging rules, and where appropriate breaking them! Boundaries of design are tested through the study of complex and challenging combinations of themes. You will also have the opportunity of undertaking a work placement. This experience of the 'real world' will inevitably help you to refine your ideas of the type of work you would like to pursue and which area of the industry most excites you.
