Stage costume. Its tasks, scope and tailoring

Dancing, theater and various shows have firmly entered the life of every person. Spectators, being on the show, evaluate not only the actors' play, but also their image. The stage costume helps to reveal it most widely.

Sphere of use and main tasks

The costume can be sewn for both individual performance and group performance. You can see it in the following moments:

• Theater.
• Dance.
• Promotions and costumes.
• Strip-show.
• Sport competitions. Rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating.

Stage costume plays an important role and helps to complement the image. He solves the following problems:

1. With its help, you can most widely reveal the character.
2. Changing the shape and appearance of the character, depending on the required situation.
3. Helps create the necessary time, the era, its style and location.
4. It is an important part for expressing the inner world in a film or a play.
5. Can become a symbol of a whole era.

Consider more carefully the theatrical costume, without which there is not a single performance. The performances, as well as the films, have firmly won their place in the modern cultural life.

Theater attire

Stage costume is not only clothing, but also makeup, shoes, accessories, hair. Only together they complement each other and most fully reveal the image. In productions, the costume conveys the internal state, helps to understand what the hero has just done or is about to do.

Even before the beginning of the play or shooting the film, the artist creates sketches. They are formed depending on the idea, the director's intention, the style of the production and the nature of the character. Subsequently, sketches will help the actor to transfer the tiniest nuances of the hero more vividly: his gait, manner of dressing, facial expressions and even staging the head.

Wrongly selected stage costume does not fulfill its direct duty, and also creates a lot of inconvenience. He tears, clings to the surrounding scenery, makes the actor distracted from the game and does not allow him to fully enter the role.

Also, thanks to the costume, the spectator instantly determines the social status of the hero. He unerringly recognizes a rich nobleman, a simple worker, a military man or a teacher.

Costume tailoring services

In addition to theatrical art, clothes in dance performances are very popular. Due to the widespread prevalence and demand, huge competition arose. After all, to win the audience, it is not enough to provide a simple dance, it is necessary to carry out a real show. Therefore, the stage costumes, which create amazing and stunning images, have such a big role.

There are many different types of dance, as well as its styles. For them, projects are created that help to reveal the individual world and character.

1. Modern dance. The costume is characterized by urban style with the presence of subcultures. It is very similar to the sports version of clothing, because it requires freedom in movement, but it can change under the influence of other musical currents.
2. Ballroom dance. Beauty prevails here. A beautiful ball dress is a successful reserve for a dancing couple. It must be elegant and graceful. Stage costume is decorated with rhinestones, fringe or feathers.
3. Gypsy dance. When sewing such a costume, the outfit prevails. Bright fabrics are used, which help to draw various tents and tents in the imagination.
4. Latin dance. A prerequisite for sewing this outfit is a cut that allows you to give the movements a relaxed look. Frequently used incisions for the entire length of the foot.
5. Folk dance. This is a bright representative of Russian culture, in which there is a combination of many types of fine arts. People's stage costume for men is represented by a national shirt, trousers made of linen or krasheniny and kaftan. The female consists of a shirt with embroidery on the chest and a long sleeve, an apron, a breastplate and a sarafan. Each part has its own version of the ornament. The headpiece is represented by a closed cap, bandage or hoop. All this is complemented by a variety of kokoshnikami, bandages and wreaths.

Children's costumes

If a child is engaged in dancing, then he needs clothes that are comfortable and do not constrain his movements. Using stage costumes, he feels his own specialty, importance, and also tunes for maximum work and discipline.

Girls need a special skirt or dress, special shoes, as well as pantyhose or socks. It all depends on the kind of dance that the child is engaged in. Boys should have trousers, a belt and a shirt (for example, for ballroom dancing).

Unfortunately, such costumes are expensive and are sewn to order using materials with decorative additives. Stage costume for the boy will be ordered easier. He is not subject to strict requirements, and he should only shade the girl's dress.
