Zoom on Up!
Costume & Wardrobe Branch of LPD with the Black Members Sub-Committee are launching Zoom On Up!
Our first round of Zoom on Up aims to connect our BAME branch members with established Costume Designers & Supervisors through 1-2-1 meetings on Zoom. This will enable our members to make contacts outside of their established networks.
We need Costume Designers and Supervisors from all walks of life to get involved with Zoom on Up. It’s an unprecedented opportunity to meet BAME talent from the comfort of your living room!
Zoom on Up is open to participants from any grade, who are BAME, members of the Costume & Wardrobe Branch of London Production Division, and would benefit from networking with a Costume Designer or Supervisor.
The first sessions are on Thursday 2nd, Friday 3rd & Saturday 4th July at 11am. If you’d like to be involved, please email bectucostumewardrobe@gmail.com with “Zoom on Up” as the subject, and stating whether you're a Designer/Supervisor or a BAME member of our branch.
