Meetingwithdesigners09/10/24
Clinical set.
Denim is a major factor .
Friar’s design has changed - no shoes, loose clothing.
Lady Capulet and Capulet are classy and formal.
Juliet and Nurse are similar.
Montague is a cool contempary dad.
Apothecary - is very oversized
Nurse - has no patchwork & staining.
Juliet now has no scarf.
Lady C and Capulet has subtle breakdown.
Fitting Etiquette 11/10/24
Fittings box - replace everything you use
Print off schedule - designs/ mood boards.
Have options - accessories, other clothing options as well.
Mirrors in fitting rooms & changing rooms.
Bring snacks for actors and lecturers.
Think about the temperature of the room.
Keep check on actors.
Photograph actors by changing room.
20 mins per actor - if completely other costume for another character - another 20 minutes.
Talk to director after fittings
Head of running wardrobe is in charge of changing space.
Maybe give Lady Capulet an ankle chain to create a more classy look instead of a heal.
Maybe a long sleeve green top instead of a jumper for nurse.
Breakdown apothecary's trousers a lot.
Scruff up Romeo’s shoes, tiny bit of mud.
Not too bothered about the fringe on Nurses bum bag.
BurnsTest/FabricID25/11/24
Why do we need fabric ID?
For care are maintenance - how to you wash it, what temperature? Hand wash? etc.
Dye and manipulation - Which dye to use - Disperse?
Procyon? Dylon?
Allergies - can the actor/ dancer wear it without getting a reaction?
Things to look out for when doing the burns test. Does it burn or melt? - If it burns it is a natural fabric, if it melts it is a synthetic.
What’s the flame like?
What does it smell like?
How quick does it burn?
What does it look like after?
