Changing it Up

As we take a break from the usual rehearsal, we finally invested some time in the costuming aspect of the production. Today was mostly geared towards trying on our various outfits and working out any kinks. Considering M.C. is the only really tangible character of the whole story, my costume is simply a t-shirt and pair of jeans. Simple enough. The rest of the characters are wildly colorful and mismatched. Looking over everyone as a whole, I probably would have like a more consisten color scheme despite the varying personalities. I'm not sure if the colors themselves will be enough to draw in the first and second graders. If anything, I feel as though we need to add some decoration to the outfits, but what?

After costume checks, we each shared our character analyses with each other to ensure that we were all on the same page. It was quite interesting to hear some of the things that came out of my classmates' mouths. The backgrounds of our characters went to both ends of the spectrum with overbearing sisters to martian-like friends. If anything, the character analyses put us more in the mindset of the characters we're trying to portray although I'm not sure if anybody will be influenced by it in their performance.
