Seeking the Child

The director, Timothy Van Bruggen, asked for the Magi costumes to be styled after Zoroastrian historic ceremonial clothing - all white, with a gold sash and "upward arrow" motif.

I wanted to provide a cohesive look for women's dance scene, so I used a muted color palate. To add visual interest, I added textured overlays and created a variety of headwear designs. 

This tattered burlap tunic, with skin overlay and belt contribute to the wild and beaten down look of John in prison.

I purchased the metal helmets and made new red tunics.  The armor and capes belonged to Master Arts Theatre, so my next design project is to make new leather armor for my own collection. I specifically want to create a complete "Armor of God" costume that can be rented out for Children's programs.
