Efflorescence - Student project

Our designs blend of inspiration taken from Australian nature and celebrations where people can come together under one roof and experience beautiful encounters and transformations. With costumes that will transform and grow when the members of the tribe come together, we hope to show Prague a beautiful image of unity in the form of costumes personifying nature.

Exhibiting artists / ateliers

• Robyn Constable


Disciplines: Costume Technician
Additional information: Our tribe has been designed by three students from The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Amy Francis Rae-Bennett, Robyn Constable and Kat Mackay study costume with experience in not only construction of garments but hands on dressing and maintainence for a variety of theatrical productions of dance, ballet, musical theatre and opera. Amy is excited to bring the beauty of Australian flora in the form of a creative collaboration between her peers to the streets of Prague. Robyn Constable appreciates the spectrum of colours found in Australian nature and wants to capture this imagery and share it on an international artistic platform. Kat likes to colour outside the lines of costumes, incorporating sculpture, play and functionality. Together they have the collective vision for a project that celebrates the coming together of people regardless of race, colour, religion or gender and how this brings colourful healing to the human experience in the form of Tribes.
