The MIT Costume Shop is where creativity flourishes at the Institute. Courses in both costume design and figure drawing are only a couple of the examples of what is offered. The Costume Shop also designs, constructs and assists in all theater art productions on campus often creating all the costumes in house.

MIT Music and Theatre Arts commissioned multiple Grammy nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur fellow Miguel Zenón to write a piece for the MIT Wind Ensemble. Jazz composer and saxophonist Zenón found inspiration in the socially conscious work of the student performers. The creative collaboration culminated in four movements entitled: Properties, Humanity, Syntax and Service. The title of the piece “Music as Service” encapsulates the experience for the performers of this brand new composition.
