Style the Story: Workshop Costume dan Visual Storytelling
Costume is more than a visual element; it is a storytelling tool that shapes characters, reflects their social and emotional backgrounds, and brings the story world to life. Through “Style the Story: Costume and Visual Storytelling Workshop,” participants will explore how clothing, colors, textures, and accessories can communicate meaning and strengthen narratives from the early stages of development. Led by Hagai Pakan and Retno Ratih Damayanti, the workshop offers insights into the creative process of translating character and story into compelling and meaningful costume designs.
