Importance is also placed on networking from day one, and budding designers have internships at Western Costume, the Wende Museum and Disney. An active alumni network provides entr\u00e9e into the industry upon graduation, and unique classes include head of experience design Ellen McCartney\u2019s \u201cFear and (C)Loathing,\u201d as well as \u201cCostume in Animation\u201d as a full-year class.

As executive director Ilonya Somogyi explains, \u201cThere are benefits to being away from the hustle and bustle and being able to focus intently.

The opportunity to work on productions equipped with a professionally staffed costume shop and working with the in-house LORT theater also has its advantages. \u201cThe nature of the Drama School\u2019s interdisciplinary program \u2014 having directors, dramaturges, actors, stage and theater managers, playwrights, and five different types of designers all studying together as one independent cohort, is probably the most important part of how we train costume designers to work in the world,\u201d says Somogyi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>TUITION<\/strong> None\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>ALUMS<\/strong> Tom Broecker (<em>Mean Girls<\/em>), Donna Zakowska (<em>The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/em>), Susan Hilferty (Broadway\u2019s <em>Wicked<\/em>)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-accent-l   \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"National_Institute_of_Dramatic_Art_NIDA\"><\/span>\n        National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA)   <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Sydney, Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    If walking in the footsteps of Academy Award-, BAFTA- and Tony-winning costume designer Catherine Martin appeals, look no further than Australia\u2019s NIDA.

Small classes of six students experience a hands-on emphasis on various disciplines from corsetry, leatherwork and tailoring to millinery, fabric dyeing and costume cutting. The school encourages critical thinking and risk-taking while empowering students to create new ideas and solutions. Some of the more unique offerings include the Warrior Project which allows students to interact with costumes and prop teams, emphasizing techniques such as laser cutting, leather moldings, and sublimation printing.
