1:30 – 2:30 p.m. | "From Page to Stage, Costume Design as Storytelling," Bobby Brewer- Wallin [Anne Bowden], Kaneko Auditorium
As a costume designer, I see the work I do as a storyteller. I am interpreting the words written by the playwright and offering support to the development of character through clothing. I am sculpting the silhouette the audience first sees and providing color and texture to the world of the play. Through my design choices I can both help and hinder the way the audience views a character, influence on how characters physically move in space, and offer insight on a character's journey from beginning to end. Today's talk will draw from a "Doll's House Part 2" by Lucas Hnath and "The Revolutionists" by Lauren Gunderson. Visual research, renderings, and production photos will be used to illustrate how costume design moves from the page to the stage.
Bobby Brewer-Wallin, Professor of Theatre at Willamette University, designs costumes for theatre and dance. With an MFA in Costume Design from CalArts, he joined the faculty at Willamette in 2000. In addition to designing costumes for all main stage productions, he teaches courses in costume design, costume history, the capstone course for theatre majors with an emphasis in solo performance, and first-year seminars title "Clothing + as Embodied Thought and Stitch X Stitch: Protest Clothing as Threads of Change". Recent productions include "A Doll's House, Part 2, Everybody, Magellanica, The Importance of Being Earnest" and "A Civil War Christmas" at Artists Rep, "Cop Out" at The August Wilson Red Door Project, "Men on Boats" "Dead City", "Wings of Fire", and "Macbeth" at Willamette University Theatre, "My Case is Altered: Tales of a Roaring Girl " with Twenty-First Century Chorus, The "Snowstorm" at CoHo Productions.
