To help further the dissemination of techniques and expertise with costumers and students across the nation, the Costume Design & Technology Commission has identified a number of sessions available to travel to USITT sections, universities, or other groups.

It is the Commission's hope that presentations of costume master classes and workshops by members will continue the work of the Commission beyond the annual conferences, Professional Development Workshops and Summer Symposia.

Many of these sessions were presented at USITT Annual Conference & Stage Expos in recent years, some were offered at the regional level, and others are new to membership. Each session has its own set of goals and requirements for maximum attendance, skill level of participants, space, equipment requirements, and budget.

The list of traveling sessions includes:

• Kimonos Unwrapped/Undressing the Shogun
• Kimono Construction Master class
• Tambour Beading Workshop
• Corset in a Day
• Wire Frame Hats and Headpieces
• Victorian Straw Bonnets Workshop (one day)
• Victorian Straw Bonnets Workshop (two days)
• Flat Patterning - Sloper Fitting
• Sloper to Period Style: Seeing Lines and Proportion
• Tailoring Nineteenth Century Men's Coats with Contemporary Suits
• Rendering the Costume Figure
• Pattern & Construction Techniques for Elizabethan Menswear & Ruffs
• Costume Technology Portfolio Reviews
• Wireless Microphones And Costumes
• Stage Makeup: The Actor's & Designer's Tool

For specific session details you can visit the Costume Design & Technology web site or through www.usitt.org.

USITT and the Costume Design & Technology Commission have no involvement with the booking or costs. If you or your organization would like further information on booking any of these traveling sessions and the costs involved, contact the presenter directly.
