Costume design for digital performance: Panel discussion
  1:08:18

This year, performance disciplines had to be radically re-thought, as the pandemic closed not only performance arts venues but also workshops and studios where work is developed. In response, the MA Costume Design for Performance course at London College of Fashion prototyped an innovative approach by combining physical and virtual production to produce designs that spanned the two realms.

In this conversation, we’ll be joined by the choreographer Alexander Whitley, known for experimental productions and groundbreaking use of technology, experimental digital collective Uncharted Limbo, who worked on translating the physical costumes and performances into digital abstractions, Agnes Treplin, course leader for MA Costume Design for Performance and Shuyi Zheng, costume designer and digital image-maker behind the stunning costume film Born For. Join us as we explore new possibilities afforded by virtual production techniques and imagine the future of costume design for performance.
