La Ronde Costume Parade

Costume Parade

Due to the technical nature of the production it was decided that the parade should be a quick run through of the production. This not only aided the actors to see what it would be like to perform in the costumes it also enabled the wardrobe department to see any potential issues which may occur with the undressing of costume and the quick changes before the technical rehearsal; the following Tuesday.

The notes from the parade were mainly technical with little discussion over the aesthetical element of the costume. A few additional dressing gowns have been added for the modesty of the actor but on the whole other than the changes due to sourcing availability the costumes remain unchanged from the original designs. I am pleased to say that these designs have lifted off the page. Though further scrutiny will need to take place the overall look of the production has greatly been achieved.
