We had 178 kids sign up for our new class offering in Technical Theatre: Design & Production for Costuming, Makeup, and Hair. Since we could only offer it 3 periods, 108 kids are getting the opportunity to take the class. Can I teach this class without teaching them to machine sew? Sure. But if I do that, not only will they miss out on learning a life skill that is both practical and creative, they won't get to move costumes out of the theoretical and into reality. I want them to both design and create costumes, and then to have the thrill of seeing an actor wear it on a stage. I know they feel this thrill because I've had kids be overjoyed when a simple prop they made was used on stage (like, literally, a rolled up piece of paper tied with a ribbon). I know that sewing and costuming can open up both college and career opportunities for a lot of my students. There are jobs out there, but for these kids to discover them, they need some basic skills, some inspiration, and the courage in themselves that a tech class can give them. Secondarily, 108 sewers can make a major difference in my personal quality of life. I'm a one-person theatre department, meaning I am the director, costumer, set-designer, builder, lighting and sound designer, and teenager-wrangler. Sometimes I personally sew over 20 costumes for a show (on top of my teaching and rehearsal duties). I would love the opportunity to have students help with costuming shows. It takes a huge personal burden off of me, and it gives them the opportunity for learning, collaboration, and true STEAM education.
