Last year, we considered the sustainability of our own practice, using “boundary thinking” to explore healthier relationships around teaching, design, and production.

This year, we investigate global aspects of sustainability:

• What are the ethical + ecological implications of costume production?

• As costumers and as educators, what are our responsibilities to climate justice and social justice? 

• How can academic spaces work as laboratories for encouraging industry change towards “greening” our costume practice?

Save the Dates: 

• May 20 & 21 (1:00-4:00pm ET)

  • ReDressing the Narrative- presentations and breakout rooms

• May 22-June 3 (various times)

  • Speciality Sessions Weeks - the opportunity to lead your own discussion and share scholarship 

• June 3 & 4 (1:00-4:00pm ET)

  • ATCA convening of Working Groups and community building

Registration information will be available in April. As always, the workshops continue to center the diverse yet costume-specific needs of this community. With institutional support from the University of Michigan, they remain free of charge and hosted on zoom.
