The Graduate Certificate in Costume Production (GCert) program at Fanshawe College helps students specialize their career as a costumer or costume technician. The program builds on students' skills, equipping them as a costuming and wardrobe specialist in the exciting field of live entertainment.
Students learn both the technical and creative aspects of costuming for theatre through components of classroom theory, studio training and practical work placement. Advanced classroom studies in theatre history, wardrobe planning and script analysis serve as the foundation for the focused practical training in technical costume cutting and construction.
During the Graduate Certificate in Costume Production (GCert) program students will also develop project management and collaboration skills, by collaborating on multi-disciplinary projects with students in other programs in collaborative practice courses. During the final semester, they will apply their costume technician skills in a field placement in a professional theatre company, TV location or film wardrobe.
