Well my normal things have resumed, at least 'normal' before The Rose kicked in and took over my life! It has been FABULOUS. I have not only met a great group of people to work with in the future but it has been a total pleasure and privilege to work with such talented cast and crew and for the Rose itself.
Back to me and my fabulous work... You like?
Jeremy Smith- Clowne/ Pompey
We tried something a little cleaner and more elaborate a few evenings!
And added some facial hair too!
Otis Waby- Claudio ( Arrest/ Assault scene)
Otis Waby- Claudio ( Jail Scene) added dirt, dark circles by eyes
Bourneville and Baby Oil- Jail hands and torso
The daintiest Queen of Vintage I have ever met Fiona Navalis- Mariana
One of the many hairstyles I created for Fiona
We opted for 'shabby chic' victory rolls one evening
The ever amusing Lisa Depuis- Nun Francisca ( Whilst at Nunnery)
Escaped from Nunnery
Elizabeth Bloom- Mistress Overdone (Consistently Baby Oiled and STD Ridden!)
And a tad neater and drier on the last performance!
Lawrence Russell- Barnardine guise
Well, from a cast of 10 I got backstage photos of 6 with a few changes, I don't think that's too bad at all. Being with the theatre taught me so much, I taught myself how to attach facial hair pieces in a matter of minutes, both a round goatee ( no picture shown) and the funky eccentric version but also ( among other things) how to do a face and touch ups on 10 people in two hours! In designing all the make up and changes for each character I found myself challenged yet blessedly given the freedom and opportunity to take my ideas and run with them- convincing Jeremy that the rouge cheeks would be good for character took some exchanged looks! Whilst it wasn't the warmest of experiences ( temperature not a metaphor for unfriendly atmosphere) I felt truly at home with the Rose. I look forward to many more productions to come in the New Year!
