give it up for ya mama (shimmy)

1. How has the work you are doing been refined and developed over time?
Once casted as ‘Paula’ in the play ‘After dinner’ i began to reas through the script and become familiar with the langueage used and the words said. when blocking began i initially listened to the directors instructions and then went home to think about Paulas relationship with the other characters in the play and her motivations thorughout the scenes that we blocked. while doing this i refined the blocking that we began in class and firther developed my characters personality traits.
In my role as Make-up artist for the show, i have researched information of standard stage make-up and how to aply stage make-up. I did this so o have a basic knowledge and background of make-up which i didnt have before. i further developed my the process by working with the costume designer (nai), and we came to the decision to set the make up and costumes in an 80’s decade style. I am currently in the process of researching and finding pictures of 80’s makeup and deciding the make up schemes for each character.

2. How have u clearly shown your ability to work collaborativly?
As makeup artist my work coincides with the cosutme deigner. we have to ensure that the cosumes and makeup intertwine and match oerfectly for each character.
i have contibuted idead and theories for the stage setup and the design and venue. I was keen to give my opinions of the idea of having a dinner theatre and a real band.
