Costume and prop designers work closely with set designers to create a cohesive visual world. They share sketches, research, and ideas to ensure all elements harmonize. This collaboration is key to bringing the director's vision to life on stage.
Practical considerations are crucial in this process. Designers must account for actor movement, quick changes, and safety when creating costumes and props. They also coordinate with other departments to address technical challenges and integrate special effects seamlessly.
