Putting the Play Back in Cosplay

Room 351A

Friday May 25, 2018 - 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm


There are lots of panels that talk about the production of cosplay, but seldom will they speak about how to "wear" it. The improv and acting aspects of cosplay is a rarely discussed subject. From writing skits to using improv skill to play a character for children, there are theater-based acting lessons one uses in cosplay and as well as lessons one can take from cosplay to pursue a career in theater. Our panel addresses those lessons and some of the less-mentioned dos and don'ts of performance etiquette.
