Have you always fancied dressing up as your favourite movie, comic or even video game character? If yes, then you’re bound to love the idea of cosplay. But in order to transform your wish into reality, you might hit road blocks like where to buy costumes, wigs, accessories and props to emulate your icon perfectly. Ultimate Guide to Cosplaying 101, is a free workshop organised by Comic Con India where participants will be taught tricks on cosplaying, in lieu of setting the mood for the Mumbai Film and Comic Con to be held in December. This workshop will be conducted by a team of four to five people, comprising members of the Mumbai Anime Club and some winners of last year’s cosplay contest at Mumbai Film and Comic Con.

Not many are familiar with cosplaying as it’s more popular abroad. Jatin Verma, founder and organiser Comic Con India says, “We have been organising a cosplaying contest for the past three years now as it is an intrinsic part of any comic convention and a great fun-filled activity. At the comic con, cosplayers are treated like celebrities, the crowd is very enthusiastic and its popularity is growing. However, there aren’t any shops selling costumes, accessories and props to facilitate cosplaying. Here, the workshop will of big help to people as a guide.”

And who might these cosplayers be? Usually it’s teens and adults up to the age of 24 who are staple participants. Viraj Koshimkar, winner of last year’s contest has previously cosplayed as Legend of Zelda, a Japanese fantasy action-adventure video game series. He says, “At the workshop, I will be sharing useful information on how to make cosplaying cheaper by sharing tips and tricks on where to find and buy stuff.” The workshop will also teach individuals on how to shed inhibitions and get into a character.

When & Where: November 15, 6 - 7.30 pm, Leaping Windows Cafe, Versova
