Part 2/3 - Costume Cupboard and Dress Rehearsal

Costume Cupboard and Dress Rehearsal

This is our last performance where we will be supervised and get feedback. We have also explored the costume cupboard for some outfits that we think might suit our messed up family. Elly will be wearing a bloody nighty, Lily’s wearing a very cute girly like dress, and I will be wearing an odd mixture of clothes underneath a very sparkly dress as if I have just found the dress and chucked it on.

Here is a list of props, costumes, and other things that lead to our concern –

Final Performance feedback…

-to cover the air while Elly is writing on a notepad, have Saskia (me), eating some gross food and offering it to the audience

-Elly to have her tongue cut out, when she smiles blood gushes out

-introduce a mum to the scene, maybe a heart in a jar.

-play with my (Saskia's) dress a lot more

-the notepad needs to have more legitimate/appropriate words on it without being too obvious with what the family want to achieve sexually

We have decided to put a large trigger warning sign on the front door of our scene as there are are some distressing parts to our performance that we didn’t have in before this performance. This is because I feel our group utilised not having the limitations within the performance piece and a lot of these ideas worked well and were kept in as a result of good feedback and reactions from the audience participators.
