cpolkOkay, so I posted that thing about the fiber arts course. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arcadiax mentioned something about MRC, and I didn't see a fashion design thing when I looked but I did see a theater technician 2 year program. so I looked at that and the costume section of the course might have 12 instruction hours total. not quite what I'm after.
So I hit the website for Calgary's IATSE local, and find out that they do these tests so you can apply to be a permittee in teh union for wardrobe work, and that's kind of neat.
I wrote the Education coordinator an email asking if she had any reccomendations for places to learn the stuff I'd need to learn to be a costumer, so we weill see what she has to say.
I'm headed down to the IATSE office tomorrow to pick up their literature for reuirements and stuff - including what you need to be able to do for their tests.
I have the feeling that I could qualify for the permittee test right now, drop of a hat, no problem.
Somebody tell me - why didn't I look into this before? Je suis Inde.
The university of Calgary also has a theatre technician program, but I didn't see any details on how much intruction they do for costuming. That's okay. I get totally lost on campus, but I bet if I askstrigoitemplar nicely he'll find me some literature. (pweez? I'm very ingratiating.)
Then I notice that Capilano college has a theatrical costuming first year course. They just started it. it's alongside THEIR textile arts program, which is very, very good. AGH. I don't think the Alberta government will send me to school in BC. just a feeling, you know?
Though realistically there is more business for costuming in Vancouver than there is in Calgary. But I would much rather start this education thing in alberta. If I can. If that's possible. Sure I'd like to move out to Vancouver but I can't see myself being ready to do that for a year. maybe longer.
And I did just realize that I'd been in that high ceilinged room before. it's the wardrobe workshop for the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver.
Intuition. ::headdesk:: But the more I think about it, the more it feels comfortable. Like something I could really do (when I try to think about being a lab coated neuroscientist, somebody yells "Cut!" and then I take off to craft services for another bagel.)
