The Coca-Cola Form and Fusion Design Awards
Roisin Garvey
Ballincollig CS
Roisin Garvey recounts her favourite transition year experience
Transition
Year was filled with new experiences. My favourite definitely was "The
Coca-Cola Form and Fusion Design Awards". This is a project which
allowed student, the independence to create, design and produce a costume,
drawing from our creative ability. It was fun and very enjoyable with
a bit of hard work thrown in. The fun was enhanced with each group frantically
trying to protect their original themes, but as the costumes began to
take shape, co-operation became the order of the day.
As the date for the regional heats drew closer, we began to work on nervous
energy, putting the finishing touches to our costume. The heats gave us
a chance to view entries from other schools; this also introduced the
first hint of competition. Wonders will never cease, though… my team
got through to the final!!
The final was held over a weekend in May. Groups travelled from all over
the country to Millstreet Arena to be greeted by the Coca-Cola Form and
Fusion team. During the rehearsals, we began to realise the difficult
job the judges had as every costume merited an award. The final, which
took place before a packed audience, was a brilliant success. Everybody
involved agreed it was a unique experience and the highlight of the year
- in fact they're still chatting about it on the website: www.formandfusion.net.
So it's your turn now. All that is required is imagination,
creativity and lots of enthusiasm …I'm already thinking of my design
for next year!
Roisin's own costume "Shangri La", pictured below, won the category
prize of "Best Concept" at the Grande Finale of "the Coca-Cola
Form and Fusion Design Awards" on May 19th.
