question about costume design / wardrobe

[babydollcybergoth]

i'm sorry that this is rather unrelated to crafting but i figured that i'd ask anyways...

i want to pursue something in the costume design/wardrobe area... preferably in theatre... but i really don't know where to begin...
i already have a 3 year diploma in fashion arts... and i have looked into programs offered by dalhousie and york but they both require partaking the full theatre program which i think is a bit of a waste of time...
if anyone has any sort of experience with this or is in the field... please! any advice is better than none!
thanks!
