Hi Rebecca,
The program I went through at Dalhousie University in Halifax NS Canada, is
a two year Diploma or a you can now go for a full degree program. (I'm
heading back this Fall, to complete the degree, while I teach in the Dip
program)
The Diploma is all you really *need* if you want that little piece of
paper, and the two years cover everything you would need to learn to make
historical costume. The program is geared to historical and theatrical
costume. The degree program has extra classes as per a regular degree (soc,
theatre history, electives...) and is geared to those wanting to further
their academic careers.
The career, as in a lot of life, is a lot of hard work. You will always be
looking for that next job or contract. The hours are long and the money not
so much there! You really have to love what you are doing to work in the
field for very long, the burn out rate is extremely high.
I have been working for 15 years, though, and this past year has been my
best and most inspired! I hope for another 15 just like it! I am lucky
though, in that my family supports me in my art, both financially and
spiritually. Pierre is my Gibralter, Mum is my lighthouse.

Hello, again.
I've been lurking for the past couple of months and
wondered if there is anywhere you have bios of list
participants stashed? So many of you seem to be doing
what I want to do I wonder how you got there.
Any words of wisdom?
