Costumed Interpretation

Costumed Interpretation is a method used by educators, guides, or performers to bring history, stories, or themes to life by dressing up in costumes relevant to the subject. It enhances engagement by providing a visual and tangible connection to the material, helping audiences better understand and experience the context. For example, a historical reenactor dressed as a colonial figure helps visitors feel immersed in the past. This approach makes learning more vivid, memorable, and relatable, bridging the gap between information and experience through visual and performative storytelling.
