Tick-Tock: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe CU Outreach Tour

As the designer/organizer for CU Outreach's production, I needed to clothe the actors in costumes that hinted at the universe of Edgar Allan Poe’s literature through the use of evocative garments such as cloaks, waistcoats, and formal gowns, all within the limits of a shoestring budget. 

Metamorphoses

 

Due to the aquatic nature of the production, an adaptation of Ovid’s epic poem, it was my prerogative to achieve a balance of giving the ensemble cast a sensual, yet versatile appearance while remaining durable and non-contaminative after weeks of being continually submerged in water.
