Costume is an active agent for performance-making; it is a material
object that embodies ideas shaped through collaborative creative
work. A new focus in recent years on research in the area of
costume has connected this practice in vital and new ways with
theories of the body and embodiment, design practices, artistic and
other forms of collaboration. Costume, like fashion and dress, is
now viewed as an area of dynamic social significance and not simply
as passive reflector of a pre-conceived social state or practice.
This book offers new approaches to the study of costume, as well as
fresh insights into the better-understood frames of historical,
theoretical, practice-based and archival research into costume for
performance. This anthology draws on the experience of a global
group of established researchers as well as emerging voices. Below
is a list of just some of the things it achieves: 1. Introduces
diverse perspectives, innovative new research methods and
approaches for researching design and the costumed body in
performance. 2. Contributes towards a new understanding of how
costume actually ‘performs’ in time and space. 3. Offers new
insights into existing practices, as well as creating a space of
connection between practitioners and researchers from design, the
humanities and social sciences.
