On Wednesday evening, students from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design, members of the school's synchronized swimming club and multimedia artist Claudia Bitran recreated scenes from James Cameron's blockbuster film "Titanic" at Canham Natatorium.

 
New York-based Bitran has been recreating the famous tragedy since 2014 with more than 500 participants from 15 cities across the U.S. and Chile.
 

Students in the Stamps School course "Dressing Up & Down" created wearable props and elaborate costumes to re-envision the scenes where passengers are thrown from the sinking ship into the frigid waters.
