These faces of donkeys, each with its own expression, were created by participants in USITT’s 2009 Costume Symposium, "Creating Creatures with Foam and Varaform" held August 6 to 8 at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Variations on the basic donkey pattern included T-rex, braying ass, cartoonish donkey, and natural donkey.
