The opportunity
Join our team at University of the Arts London, Wimbledon College of Arts for an exciting one-year, part-time Senior Lecturer position in Costume Design within the world leading BA Costume for Theatre and Screen course.
As a vital member of our committed team, through teaching, unit leadership, and on-going scholarship, you’ll contribute to the growth of this popular course, fostering innovation, collaboration, and subject currency. Your expertise will contribute to shaping the direction of the course, embracing new technologies and approaches in costume design.
Collaborating closely with the Course Leader and working on a range of projects, you’ll have the opportunity to expand and enhance outcomes alongside our existing traditional methods of construction and compliment the current team’s academic portfolio. The student experience is at the heart of what we do and your skills within costume will inform and motivate our students’ practice and learning opportunities.
About you
We’re interested in applicants from a Costume Design background with excellent understanding of how storytelling can aid and communicate costume design, inform characterisation and realise costume for performance.
Candidates must have experience teaching at HE level and be able to demonstrate flexible teaching practices to a diverse student body. An understanding of the Costume Design process that includes text analysis, broad and wide-reaching research strategies and concept development that can be applied to the design and realisation of costume outcomes is essential to the role.
An understanding of innovation in the fabrication and construction of individual design solutions is important to allow student designers the opportunity to produce high spec outcomes, utilising a range of pattern cutting and construction methodologies. Briefs may explore historical, traditional, contemporary or Avant Garde concepts and a familiarity with a broad visual language and understanding of audience to facilitate this will be key.
Experience of Costume Design from concept to realisation and a willingness to explore how your experience can enhance and diversify the quality of work that our students produce is equally important.
Interviews will take place on 19/09/23.
For any further information about the role, please contact Course Leader, Kevin Freeman k.freeman@wimbledon.arts.ac.uk
Should you have any questions about the application process or require reasonable adjustments for your application, please contact Adrienne Marsh, Resourcing Adviser jobs.ccw@arts.ac.uk
