Parade name inspired by Shakespeare’s

Romeo and Juliet and utilising city names

LINCS AND EAST



UKCCA are designing costume basics - such asprinted t-shirts, so the lead costumes designs

should focus on what is carried or worn.

Backpack units with double rod tting elements

will be provided which the chosen designs should

t into. The structural elements can be made

from breglass rods, aluminium tubing and at

plates. The elements you might design includes

ags, wings, and portable sculptural elements.The design work should consider embellishment

carefully, and single decorative elements, such

as feathers, should be added with restraint.

We are splitting the parade into two opposing

battle teams- inspired by Romeo and Juliet’s

‘capulets and montagues’, so there will be a

sense of call and response, between two teams

throughout the parade. Therefore, colour should

be kept very simple and single colour or limited

colour will read very strongly. This will mean

that the themes we are exploring can be read

clearly by the audience.



This diagram shows the arrangement of 100 people, and the

distribution of large costumes, sections, and musicians

throughout the parade. It indicates how the costumes can

relate to the rest of the parade

Recepction Committee- 6-10 distinctive welcome costumes.
