2023 Kurtz Emerging Theatre Artist Mona Jahani | As Seen at Symposium | Costume Society of America

2023 Howard Vincent Kurtz Emerging Theatre Artist Award Winner Mona Jahani | As Seen at Symposium | Costume Society of America This “As Seen at Symposium” webinar features the 2023 Howard Vincent Kurtz Emerging Theatre Artist Award Winner, Mona Jahani. Hosted by the 2023 CSA Costume Design Award Winner Aly Amidei, this presentation explores Jahani’s research, rendering, and execution process in producing the costume design for the play Monsieur d'Eon is a Woman as presented at Michigan State University. This play is a fictionalized depiction of a real historical figure’s life, the title character d’Eon, and the design explored the central question that society within the world of the play is asking d’eon, "are you a man or a woman?" She explores how the intersection of traditional historical garment research and modern reinterpretations of period styles informed the visual world of the play's costume design.
