MFA in Theater Design and Production

University of Cincinnati

A member of U/RTA, CCM offers both a BFA degree in Theatre Design and Production (TD&P) with an emphasis in Costume Design and Technology, as well as a three-year highly concentrated MFA degree in Costume Design and Technology.The design of a successful theatrical costume involves an insight into the dramatic character's development, an ability to blend with the visual style of the scenic design, a recognition of the director's vision of the staging and a special individual flair or style that is the costume designer's alone. The costume designer enhances the actor's physical and expressive ability through the cut, draping, choice of fabric and ornamentation, creating an appropriate effect with silhouette, line and color.The artistic skills of sketching and color rendering, a strong sense of historical period and style, a comprehensive knowledge of the practices and techniques of costume technology and good communication, interpersonal and organizational skills are essential to augment the designer's natural talent.
