Costume Design for Burlesque with Maple Rose - LOW Intensity

(Live Stream Option Available)

Want to make that dream costume a reality? Join Maple Rose in this two hour intensive that will break down all the steps required to design and create your dream outfit including: research, design, sourcing, commissioning, embellishments and costume care as well as practical elements such as using your costume to aid characterisation and choreography. Maple Rose comes from a background of theatrical set and costume design, and has not only 1 design degree under her belt but 2!

Her expertise in vintage fashion has contributed to her love affair with rhinestones, feathers and corsetry. She’ll give you all the tips and tricks to help you design the perfect costume to fit your act, character and budget. Suitable for all levels, including those with little or no sewing/design experience. (note that we will not be sewing). Please bring a pen and paper, have your phone or ipad handy for research purposes, and bring along any colour markers/pencils you want!

Please note that workshops are coded as Low/Mod/High Physical Intensity. All are open to all levels, this coding refers more to how much energy you’ll need for the class. Please be aware that High Intensity workshops are the most physically intensive, and likely to build up a SWEAT! If you have any questions regarding your suitability for a specific workshop please contact us.

Over three days we will be presenting 18 different two hour length workshops with our resident tutors! We’re also presenting 9 of these workshops as an online option live-streamed from in-studio via Zoom. All online workshops are recorded if you cannot attend live.
