Abstract | This project outlines major concepts of visual culture as they relate to my process in designing costumes for the world premiere of the play Mister Major and the Minor Wife, by Devin Berg, produced by Theatre TCU. I have specifically detailed several key ideas of visual culture as they are described by visual culture pioneer Nicholas Mirzoeff in his book, How to See the World. I then go on to use these concepts to help accurately describe my process of designing costumes: from initial concept discussions to the actualization of thought in my head. I relate how I used visual culture to aid my design process and my communication with the cast and the rest of the production crew. With special attention to the ideals of the study of visual culture, I have learned to effectively solve problems and communication only to my peers in production and design but also to laymen and experts in the audiences. Through this process, I have learned that in theatre, characters are carefully crafted, not solely by performers but also by the complex interplay of visual culture ideals and the elements of design. |
