Moods - 2011 is the first costume show organized by the third year
undergraduates attached to Department of Drama, Ballet and Modern Dance,
University of Visual and Performing Arts. The main aim of this costume
show is to study the subject of creating costumes for drama, ballet and
modern dance.
Drama is an extensive subject area. Many subjects related to drama
such as lighting, background and stage management are not studied
properly. The costume design show will set an example to study other
subjects related to drama, the Course Guide Anura Priyantha said.
The University of Visual and Performing Arts, in their measures to
make art popular in the country, expect to build a new fashion culture.
Making attire for actors and actress the designers must pay close
attention to raw materials.
Flexibility, sweat absorption and cloth stretching should be
considered before making attire. Besides, the makers must identify
colour expression of selected cloths.
Black colour is easy on surface for a lighting artiste. The colour is
popular in western countries in night shows for common costumes. Black
played a main role in the costume show, which had the participation of
about 19 students.
