These past few days I've been pulling together final renderings for the show and creating boards for everything. I presented my ideas to the class on Friday, showing the class how to pull together a final sketch. When their class presented their ideas to me, I took note of a lot of the things that the group collectively had in their sketches. On Friday I also did an activity with the kids taking them in small groups up to the costume room to pick one piece that the justified their sketch of the characters they chose to present on. The kids were good in their justifications for their pulls which helped me understand their thought process. Although it may not have saved me time in the pulling process different eyes see different things in costumes, so it was great to get different opinions and to provide the learning opportunity. When surveying the pulls that the kids did I noticed that the costumes were workable, but there would definitely need to be revisions to each of the pieces. Overall, the class has been interesting and hopefully will continue to grow in their costuming abilities.
Outside of the class, I attended a rehearsal and did quick measurements of all the characters before they went through their lines. One of the main things about costuming that is so interesting for me is seeing how the characters interact with each other and how they individually portray their character. While the director and design team may have one idea of a costume, it is a great experience to see how the character develops with the actor as well. I'm excited to see how the design develops through the whole of the show.
