With the aim of contributing to the scholarship on costume designers’ agential collaboration within contemporary dance, this article centres on the creative authorship of the designer. Using the notions of ‘signature style’ and ‘authorship’ as the key research lenses, it investigates the work of Finnish costume designer Erika Turunen within contemporary dance, specifically her collaboration with choreographer Tero Saarinen. Drawing from in-person interviews with the designer and materials related to her costumes, this article addresses the issues of re-invention versus repetition, and process and outcome as two interlinked steps in the creation of Turunen’s signature style.

This essay introduces an unpublished talk by Greek stage designer Ioanna Papantoniou (born 1936) entitled ‘Local costume in a theatrical performance’, originally presented at the First Panhellenic Meeting of Ephors (Curators) and Dance Teachers at the Lyceum Club of Greek Women in Athens, in November 1990. Prior to and alongside her professional design career in the field of theatre, Papantoniou was actively engaged as a researcher in ethnography studies on Greek local costumes and folk dances. Driven by her passion for the study of Greek local dress combined with her professional experience as a stage designer, Papantoniou has given several talks on the connections between theatrical performance and folk traditions, as well as on the interrelationship between local dress and theatrical costume on stage and in festivities. In this talk she conflates local costume and folk dance as a form of performance and discusses how these two elements become an artistic creation when it comes to staged performances outside their original setting in a village. Thus, she draws a line between the ‘authentic’ and the staged performance, the latter of which is what she considers contemporary folk dancing in reproduced folk costume to be. The published text is based on a transcript of the talk, translated into English, and further edited by costume designer and scholar Sofia Pantouvaki, who also provides an introduction and numerous annotations to make the talk accessible by an international audience.

This research report presents an emergent methodological framework for devising costume performance that offers best practice to the collaborating designer, choreographer and performer. Two distinct practical research case studies, costume performance project Elizabeth & The Three Sisters (2016) and costume research project SESSIONS #1‐4, are examined to answer the question: what is an effective working methodology for designing and devising costume performance that creates a synergy between costume/materials and the moving body, and consequently design and choreography? The case study research methods include practical experimentation and devising leading to performances, and experiential findings. Research outcomes are contextualized in relation to Tim Ingold’s theories of (active) materials, Jane Bennett’s concept of assemblages, collaborative devising processes used in dance making, embodiment and somatics and intentionality and authorship in collective making. This investigation is predominantly discussed from the perspective of the experienced and experiential costume performer ‐ choreographer: the ‘embodied subject’ who merges with the costume/materials bringing a unique analysis to the costume and performance research field that is significant to designers, performers, performance makers and scholars. The findings of this report offer practitioners a framework to develop an impactful working approach for the devising of costume performance, as well as other performance where costume is (or could be) an integral part of the work.

My research project, Drawing and Performance: Creating Scenography, looked at the way drawing is used during the creative process of scenography within the performance arts. It was my intention to analyse and reflect upon the artistic and pragmatic relationship scenographers have with drawing as a device for the creation of space and time of performance, and also as mediator between the bodies of actors or dancers onstage and our drawing pages. In this article I discuss examples from this research project and from my own practice where costume sculpted during the process of rehearsal came to generate a specific presence onstage and consequently moulded the performance. I argue that this working method expands the function of drawing in the creative process of the costume designer by applying it as part of a back and forth process of analysis and composition which includes the designer’s experience of movement and touch. With this in mind this article follows three examples of Portuguese costume designers who use drawing extensively in their practice: Clara Bento, Claudia Ribeiro and my own.
