Breathe
Today I was introduced to the Breathe Project. This will be the other part of my Self Directed Project where I shall be using my creativity and making skills to help produce part of a costume.
The Base Costume
We were shown the base costumes and the designs for this unit. The base costumes are going to be worn by all of the artists and then ontop adaptations, add-on pieces etc can be worn. Base costumes are also meant to represent the colours of Weymouth beach, i.e. the rusty sea walls, seaweed etc, as this is where the artists will be performing.
The artists are split up into different character groups. These consist of:-
Regals - Women - corsets, bucket hoops, panniers, etc
Men - Doublets/Sash
Gestures - Cable ties, bobbly bits, bells, headdress.
Navigators - Flags
Elders - Cloaks, texture
Teens/Rebels - Mohawk's, skirts
Collectors - Belts, pockets on trousers, backpacks.
In the next session we shall explore and discuss what I want to get out of the project and what character groups I want to work on.
From this initial meeting I feel like I have gained a greater understanding of the project as a whole and now know how different this project is compared to the Costume Store. I must remember as a practitioner this project will require me to explore problem solving, experimentation and overall team work skills.
