Ukrainian Day, Costume Treasures: From Baba's Trunk to the Stage

This multimedia presentation will open a window into the roots, influences and evolution of Ukrainian clothing, and its development into the beautiful, intricate costumes you see on stage today. In this 65 minute presentation, the Dovbush Dancers model both historical pieces and pieces from their current wardrobe, with short dance excerpts from the regions where these costumes originated. A Q&A will be part of this event, culminating in a Fashion Show highlighting the Dovbush Dancers’ wardrobe, fusing Ukrainian pieces with current fashion. Join us and immerse yourself in the beauty of Ukrainian cultural clothing. Following the presentation, members of the AUUC costume team will be on hand to take your questions live on Zoom.
