Costume workshop
DesiHeart x College of Adaptive Arts Paper Costume Workshop
DesiHeart greatly admires the work College of Adaptive Arts has done towards there mission of simulating a full liberal arts education where the adult students can flourish, thrive, and push the boundaries of their full potential. DesiHeart was honored to support their mission by conducting a paper costume workshop for the CAA School of Theatre. Our founder Anwita Chaudhry worked with Katie Zeisl, Director, School of Theatre and Special Events, to plan and host the event which was conducted during the CAA Spring 2021 Theatre Performance & Theatre Tech Class on week 6. The costume piece was specially designed for the Theatre Performance class's in-class Anthology Play showcase on the last day of class. Thank you so much Katie for your faith in us, and your greatly appreciated support.
