Costume Exploration

 One area we wanted to explore was costume, and we decided to work with simple, cheap materials that could be shared between us and our collaborators. We began by using paper, card, sack, string and other related bits and pieces. Some of these we brought with us, some we shopped for in the many small shops in central Athens near to our two working spaces in Exarcheia and Monastiraki. 

These materials seemed like they might work to make quick costumes inspired by some of the carnival and other traditions we are interested in. During the first five days we created several costume pieces and imagined several more, including shirts, trousers, skirts, collars, hats, shoes, noses, etc. See below for some images.
