Let's Runaway with the Circus!

First Meeting - The Designs!

Costume Designer Katie Broome

Had my first meeting today and introduction for this fantastic new circus production! Myself and three other makers/supervisor have task of tackling these costumes. The performance is not till July however my costume deadline is 28th May - so not long at all!

Notes from meeting: 

- Grotesque twisted reality of a caravan park.
- The story will develop with costumes.
- 1st Fitting 20th April
- 2nd Fitting 3rd May.
- Bodysuits - shiny lycra but broken down depending on the character.
- Stains, broken down fabrics.
- Masks/wigs.


At the moment everything feels very up in the air and I can tell this project is going to have a slow start! Oh well we shall have to wait and see what happens. Very excited though and looking forward to it.
