IN-PERSON: The Elderwise classroom at the Vineyard Church
Join us to explore all the ways that costume, makeup, and hair design can help tell stories. Plays and musicals, live-action and animated movies and TV shows, theme parks, video games, and other types of entertainment use these design elements as an integral part of communicating their stories to the audience. Melanie will discuss various aspects of story and character and how costumes, makeup, and hair make them come alive. Melanie Schuessler Bond is the faculty Costume Designer at Eastern Michigan University. In addition to numerous university theatre designs, her professional design credits include productions at the Michigan Shakespeare Festival (Charley's Aunt, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, and others), Williamston Theatre in Williamston, MI (Chapatti, Five Course Love, The Art of Murder, and others), and Tipping Point Theatre in Northville (Southern Comforts and Crimes of the Heart).
