Cosplay Creations in Five Easy Steps

ARE YOU LOOKING for last-minute Halloween inspiration? Texas theatre teacher B.K. Goodman and the technical theatre students in Morton Ranch High School’s Thespian Troupe 6861 create elaborate cosplay creations with little more than plastic wrap and tape.

Cosplay, or costume play, provides a great introduction to the fundamentals of costume design. To see how it’s done, check out the first-ever student course developed on EdTA’s new Theatre Educator Pro website. In five easy steps, you’ll find videos to get your creative juices flowing, pattern and mood board templates so you can capture your designs on paper, and downloadable measurement sheets to take your favorite look from idea to reality.

Mix these tools with a little imagination and a fabulous backstory. You’ll have everything you need to bring your favorite film, comic book, or video game characters to life.
