So tonight we had quite an undertaking before us. We had to go through all the costume ideas that our costume designer had laid before Kivan. It was not quite right yet in the eyes of him, so we had the fun (and that is not sarcastic) task of going through and specifying the ideas that he wanted in more detailed picture examples. This is when I thank the Holy Diet Coke Can that me and Kivan communicate creatively so well. We had several hours of hardcore Googling and Pinteresting (and as a stereotypical girl, Pinteresting is my JAM) ahead of us, so it was nice that we could break it up into creatures and with just a few key words, I could find pictures to put into hardcore visual material the things that Kivan was thinking. For example, he would say, "The colors on the fish aren't right. I want...deeper, you know?" And I came up with this:
And it worked. Daaaaaang, I'm good.
My favorite part was finding the Mersister images, because boy can I tell you, I love me some bling and glitter and that's basically what it was.
See? Aren't these all fun? And I'm not entirely sure why my text is pink now, but it seems fitting after those veeeeeery girly tops. All in all, tonight was about professionally shooting down ideas that don't work with the director's vision. Theater, as we know, is all about collaboration and in this particular production, that is very clear with the costumes.
To wrap it up, look at some other pretty pictures I found.
Yeah. thats it. Tomorrow is our first run-through of act 2, so that's going to be pretty darn fun. I can't wait to see my land ensemble dancers doing their thing. Fingers crossed they remember which way to turn.
