Item Three hundred and sixty degrees : a celebration of costume technology(2015-05) Robertson, Emily Ann; Glavan, James; Ortel, Sven; Habeck, MichelleThree Hundred and Sixty Degrees: A Celebration of Costume Technology was an immersive theatrical installation piece that integrated physical costume pieces, three hundred and sixty degree projection mapping, digital storytelling, and an original musical composition comprised of sounds found in a costume shop. The purpose of the story was to give an artistic overview of the essential steps in a garment's creation. It allowed the audience to view and experience the evolution of how a theatrical costume is constructed, beginning with the designer's rendering, then moving into the muslin half-drape, the paper pattern, the fitting, the pattern pieces cut in real fabric, and ending with the completed garment. The installation also focused on the role played by historical undergarments (created here in half scale) as the building blocks of costume construction.Item Tiny textiles : an exploration of surface design for small-scale fabrication at the 1/6th scale(2023-04-20) Thorson, California; Arevalo, David; Dawson, Kathryn; Acosta, Nanette; Buchanan, JasonThe purpose of this MFA Thesis study is to examine surface design techniques for small-scale fabrication, specifically for stop motion animation at the 1/6th scale. Within the stop-motion industry, “surface design” refers to the use of embroidery, airbrushing, laser-cutting, stenciling, and other techniques to alter the surface look of a textile. Since purchasing textiles at the 1/6th scale is nearly impossible, the ability to alter pre-existing fabrics to give the “illusion” of textiles at a reduced scale is necessary for small-scale fabrication. Furthermore, since most small-scale fabrication skills are passed either through oral or apprenticeship arrangements, very little about this art form has been written down. As such, this thesis will serve to fill a gap in the field by conducting three case studies in the surface design of tweed, brocade, and denim, as well as engaging in a practical project in the form of costume work for a short stop-motion film, all of which will serve as a template for further people practicing small-scale fabrication.
