At Hoi Polloi Academy, we believe theatre is more than just performances—it’s a platform to inspire creativity, teach valuable life skills, and instill values that make a lasting impact. Building on the success of our Introduction to Sewing Workshop earlier this year, we’re thrilled to present our latest initiative: the Sustainable Costume Workshop, part of our innovative HPA Workshop Series.
🎭 Creativity Meets Sustainability
This exciting workshop will be led by the incredibly talented Sarah Grech, our costume designer for Shrek Jr. Sarah’s passion for eco-friendly design and extensive experience make her the perfect guide for students eager to explore the intersection of creativity and sustainability in theatre.
Participants will engage in hands-on activities to:
♻️ Reuse and Repurpose: Give existing costumes a second life, transforming them for fresh characters and productions.
🧵 Adapt and Alter: Learn the art of modifying fabrics and designs to reduce waste while adding unique flair.
🌎 Create with Recycled Materials: Use items like plastic, cardboard, paper, cans, and foil to craft stunning accessories and costumes.
Sarah’s expertise ensures students will not only learn practical skills but also develop an appreciation for eco-conscious theatre practices.
🎨 Beyond the Stage: Life Skills Through Theatre
Our workshops aim to teach more than just artistic techniques. Through the Sustainable Costume Workshop, students will hone their creativity, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork skills. These lessons go far beyond the stage, fostering a mindset of responsibility and innovation that can be applied to all aspects of life.
🎉 Building on Momentum: From Sewing to Sustainability This workshop follows the overwhelming success of our Introduction to Sewing Workshop, where students learned foundational skills in stitching and garment creation. Now, we’re taking things to the next level by combining sewing with sustainability, empowering students to think critically about their artistic and environmental impact.
🎭 The Journey to Shrek Jr.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have created eco-friendly costumes to be showcased in our production of Shrek Jr. Seeing their hard work come to life on stage will be a proud moment for students, families, and the entire HPA community.
