Item Digital fabrication, rapid prototyping, and the development of a costume(2021-05-04) Ulrich, Ann Farrington; Glavan, James; Habeck, Michelle M.; Johnson, J.E.This Graduate Thesis in Costume Technology is a case study investigating the workflows created by integrating digital fabrication into the costume development process. Collaborating with local puppet theater company, Glass Half Full Theater, I developed two pairs of fully articulated bird wings, one at half scale and one at full scale. The wings form and function were developed in collaboration with director/playwright Caroline Reck and performer Marina DeYoe-Pedraza. Through this process, I investigated my hypothesis that a process of rapid prototyping and iteration, facilitated by digital fabrication techniques, could have dramatic and innovative impacts on how costumes are developed for theater, specifically in the world of costume crafts where fewer roadmaps are available to the costume technician.
