University Theatre Dance Concert 2022
A night of student performances, featuring student choreographers and designers.
Aleigha had the pleasure of costume designing two student-choreographed dances.
In the first piece, each dancer served as one piece of a puzzle.
Aleigha chose a simple yet classic silhouette to create uniformity and emphasize simplicity in the individual. The varied shades of maroon accentuate the idea of assorted pieces creating one whole .
To achieve several different shades, Aleigha experimented on scrap pieces with several dye applications, recording the dye recipe for each desired color.
In the second dance, the concept was a group of aliens being taught by the government how to be human.
After many iterations and talks with the choreographer, Aleigha landed on this sketch, and worked with the costume shop to develop a mock-up of the jacket. After some fittings, she shopped for fabrics, and the final jackets were constructed.
