A two-day introduction to the world of theater and film costume design led by stage and costume designer Silvia Albarella for anyone who works with costumes and would like to gain insight into this profession.
The various aspects of costume design will be analyzed by using different costume designs and styles as examples, and illustrated by means of slide shows and the examination of concrete costumes. With the help of warm-ups and playful work with colors and fabrics, participants will be guided to create a costume image. Other costume design practices, such as mask making, dyeing and patination will be taught. Figurines can also be designed with the help of collages. Finally, the result will be documented with photos.

When: Saturday, November 11 + Sunday, November 12, 2023 | 12 p.m – 7 p.m.
Where: Stock of costumes at Kunstquartier Bethanien, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin

We are happy to welcome the project TEXTILE TOUCHES OF ESCAPE AND MIGRATION by Irene Schüller in our textile workshop in October and November. The workshop, led by fashion designer Amanda Glücks and art therapist Nina Ryba, invites you to express your own personal experience as well as engagement with the themes of escape, migration and integration through the design of a piece of clothing art. It does not matter from which angle you approach the topic, whether you yourself have the experience of flight and migration behind you or are primarily observing, and whether you are an artist or a layperson. The artworks created will be made available for other people to try on in a final presentation and exhibition. By slipping into someone else’s “second skin”, a dialogue and exchange is created. Participation is free of charge.
When: October/November 2023
Friday, October 20, 2023 | 5 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

What actually is the “Allesandersplatz”? A place of community and cooperation! The Haus der Statistik introduces itself and the Kostümkollektiv is part of it: Which projects are currently already here and what is the outlook for the future? In knowledge transfer workshops we want to share what we have learned from the process so far, in workshops we will continue to learn together and learn new skills. The evening will be rounded off with a theater and concert program at OTTO.
When: Friday, July 21, 2023 | 3 – 10 p.m.
Where: Haus der Statistik, Otto-Braun-Strasse 70/72, 10178 Berlin

We are looking for co-users! In our textile workshop at Haus der Materialisierung (HdM) industrial and household sewing machines are unused half the week. Long-term participation is especially welcome, as we need to introduce and organize access. Independence in the use of the machines is required. Projects with a primarily economic purpose are excluded.
For orientation, just drop by our open Open repair and alteration workshop: every Tuesday and Wednesday between 3 and 7 pm.
If you are interested, please contact Muriel Nestler: fundus[at]kostuemkollektiv.de
