Glam Rock or “Glitter Rock” was a musical movement that began in Britain around the early 1970s. Glam Rock celebrated the spectacle of the rock star and concert. Typically, male musicians took the stage in women’s makeup and clothing, adopted theatrical personas, and mounted glamorous musical productions, many centered around space-age futurism. While Julius Caesar and Glam Rock may seem like an odd pairing, I think this backdrop/concept for The Tragedy of Julius Caesar suits perfectly.

As I designed and researched, I made sure to keep in mind that these actors would be very mobile. Swinging guitars and drum solos meant I had to ensure that, realistically, these garments would not restrict actors' movement.
