Costume & Design

Every samba school works throughout the year re-inventing it's visual elements to fit their annual Carnival theme, including costume designs, float design, prop construction and more. Our costume includes white trousers and shoes in the tradition of the Rio samba schools.

Carnival Design

The School's annual theme is realised through all its costumes and visual elements. Co-ordinating these elements is a role traditionally performed by the School's 'Carnavalesco', or Carnival Director. The School does not yet have a Carnavalesco for 2009 so if you have had, or would like to gain, experience in creating our carnival theme, please contact us.
