Abstract

This document is a thorough description of the costume design process, from concept to execution, for Shook. This fully devised dance piece was written, choreographed, and directed by third year Master of Fine Arts Candidate in Dance, Latefia Bradley. Shook was one of two dance pieces as part of the Fall 2017 semester’s Master of Fine Arts Dance Thesis Concert. The creative collaborators of design and production included Scenic Designer Katie Steponek, Scenic Supervisor Emily Lotz, Costume Designer Jeannette Christensen, Lighting Designer Peter Leibold, Projections Designer Alexandra Kelly Colburn, and Sound Designer Jeffrey Dorffman. The written portion of this thesis includes the costume designer’s original conceptual research; working preliminary and final costume renderings; fitting photos; organized paperwork samples; and completed production photographs. This document describes, in detail, the ideas behind creating the concept for the costume design of Shook. Also, how this concept developed over time in conjunction with the choreographer/director’s needs and inspiration. This production was produced by the University of Maryland School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies and ran from October 13th-15th, 2017.
