Associate Curator, Costume in Action at World Stage Design

Costume in Action brings the most up-to-date thinking about costume to the unique gathering of designers, students and scholars assembled at World Stage Design 2013. Costume is ‘in action’ in the ability to ‘transform’ and give ‘extra powers’ to the wearer, in revealing the knowledge its workers embody through their expert practice, and also as it finally takes centre stage and creates its own discourse, which is material and technological as much as it is cultural and social. Costume in Action programme: 5-15 September 2013
