The Design Summer Institute in Costume Design is a UC credit-bearing intensive for students interested in costume design for theater, film, and television. This program provides opportunities to work with our distinguished faculty in classes such as Costume 101, Introduction to Costume Sketching, Silhouette, Sculpture and Costume Design for Theater, Film and Television. The combination of these courses will allow students to use the training to bring stories to life through their designs. Students will learn the technical components of breaking down a script and the art of collaboration with directors while gaining hands-on experience in research, sketching costumes, and creating mood boards and color palettes. The three-week version of this institute (Session A) offers training in both costume design and the world of hair and make-up and the two-week version (Session B) focuses exclusively on costume design. Beyond the classroom, students will attend guest workshops with industry leaders that will teach students how to pursue costume design in film and cover portfolio preparation. The program is designed for artists and students who seek additional discipline and training required for participation in a university theater program or a career in the entertainment industry. Participation in this institute is open to pre-college (15 years and older) students. Admission to the program is by digital audition and instructor consent. As part of the application process, each applicant must submit a resume. The resume can be uploaded during the application process.
