Volunteer with PTF’s costuming team and help with the sourcing, creation, inventory management, fittings, alterations, and repairs of our historically-inspired Pomeranian “tracht” (traditional attire)!
Commitment:
Costuming team volunteers meet on Tuesday evenings between 6:00 - 9:00, which is concurrent with our dance practices. This allows the costuming team to meet with dancers and musicians as needed throughout practice to assist new members in being custom-fitted for their tracht, as well as making tracht alterations for current performers. A representative from the costuming team is also encouraged to be present at each PTF performance and ready with supplies to attend to any wardrobe malfunctions.
