Shoes First: The Process of Designing Costumes for Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure Lesley Sorenson This paper documents the deepening of my understanding of the costume design process for Measure for Measure. Prior to this journey of discovery there was little recognition of all steps or their impact on the final product. While analyzing the results during the thesis process I re-learned the importance of organization, problem solving, multi-tasking and communication in the evolution of making art. Part of this discovery also included the greater awareness of how detailed each aspect must be; how focused and how committed one must be to take design to a higher level. These ideas are documented throughout the processes of analyzing the script, researching the ideas, exploring the designs, implementing the vision and critiquing the final production.
