(Costume Designer, Makeup Designer, Properties Manager, Ed Pack)
Role: Costume and makeup design, prop sourcing, designing the Education Pack
Main aim: For makeup and costume (and to some extent, prop sourcing), the aim is to help the performers look and feel like their characters they are playing
Located where: At the side of the stage, waiting to pick up costumes and props as the actors finish with them. We have to take care of the props, so nothing is lost or broken
Interesting Fact: If you find yourself without a sewing needle, PVA glue is handy for hemming costumes. Just be careful not to stand too close to a stage light, or the glue might melt!
Likes: I love this production because of the really colourful and bold makeup, which uses glitter, jewels, and silver/gold makeup
Dislikes: I hate it when a performer just leaves their props in a pile with their costumes, expecting someone else to clean it up
Some interesting books to read are….
| The Bear’s Bazaar by Michelle Cartlidge |
| So You Can Make a Rainbow by Marge Frank |
| Stage Makeup by Laura Thudium |
