Costume Design by Paula D. Davis
For our version of The Bacchae we spent the semester in devising process to reinterpret the play. We began with many images and used the “Is it Vice?” method” in which we identified the things that really resonated with the group and discarded those images and moments that did not. I had to work in my design during this process instead of designing before rehearsals began and so designing was more compressed than usual. I enjoyed developing costumes in a more responsive manner as the production evolved.
