Instructor: Circe Rowan

Costumes are an integral part of presentation in many forms of dance. These workshops will feature a rotating series of tutorials on the basic elements of hair and makeup in a variety of dance styles, including traditional and Balanchine ballet, flamenco, circus arts, burlesque, musical theater, and more. Learn how to define, emphasize, or alter facial features under stage lighting, and engineer an updo that will withstand even the rigors of rhythmic gymnastics or Broadway tap. For reasons of hygiene, students will be asked to bring their own materials; a list of basic supplies can be found on the Found Objects website, at foundobjects.dance.
