Full costume is not permitted, but long practice skirts which help to indicate/suggest period may be worn together with small costume items such as scarves, hats, shawls, gloves, canes. Clothing and footwear should be suitable for the work presented and comfortable where possible, allowing freedom of movement. Learners should not go barefoot unless the part absolutely demands it and nudity is not permitted. 

Regarding the use of props, small items are permitted but must be kept to a minimum so as not to overburden the learner. It should be noted that learners are not permitted to leave the examination room (or leave frame – for ROA exams) once the examination has started.
