Understanding Theatrical Costume Interpretations of Early 1800s Clothing
Saratoga Springs Public Library, 49 Henry St., Saratoga Springs | 1:30 p.m.
Discover the challenge and joy of designing costumes for the Capital Repertory production of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The play’s time period, 1813, is a transitional period between the Empire and Romantic eras in costume history where we see such changes as the earlier simplicity of plain, light-colored muslin dresses replaced by vibrant colors and whimsical trims. Alyssa Opishinski, guest artist and lecturer at the Skidmore College Theater and Music Departments in theatrical costume design, history and construction, will use visuals to encompass a short history of the period as relevant to the costume history, as well as a survey of the garments worn by both men and women at the time.
