In the summer of 2013, a group of Tumo students designed and produced costumes for a virtual game concept. The main Idea of this exercise was to understand concepts of form, color and stylistic approaches to create appropriate designs.

The theme of this project was inspired by the game of chess and chess pieces. Participants studied theatrical costume design, color concepts, sketching and how to transform a design idea into an actual manufactured piece. Initial sketches of the chess pieces were created using tablets. These drawings were then transformed into costumes using moulage a direct draping technique.
