The Costumes Story

Costumes add their own flavor to any show. When donned, they unravel their own story. A character doesn’t feel complete till he/she slips into the costume to make the whole scene real. We see many actors /actresses on silver screen carrying off different varieties of attires with ease. But the joy of children when they adorn a costume for their yearly concert is priceless.

“You are a lion. I am a tree. He a cow. She is a dinosaur.” The happiness in their little hearts know no bounds when they wear a costume of their choice.

Dressed up as Santa

Theatre and stage presentations need a much-detailed coordination because of the live audiences.

From being the costume coordinator in my children’s classes to being an artist on stage in schools and in-house celebrations, costumes have been an inherent part in my life for the past ten years.

I love dressing as a witch for Halloween and I have been Santa for 4 years in a row in both my children’s school and in my apartments for Christmas. Every time I don a costume, it transcends to a sort of a euphoric delight, a feeling of immense joy. The thrill of stepping into the shoes of someone else, and present that character from a different age and time to everyone around us is simply put, precious.
