Description
A. Title and Playwright: South Deep to Blood Alley, Stephanie Jalland
B. Production Type: Professional production in collaboration with courses from The Arts University in Bournemouth.
B. Medium: Textured recycled paper, black marker pen, water colours, collage: torn out paper and glue, pastel crayons, gold ink pen.
C. Artwork time: Approx 5 hours
D. Construction time: 1,5-2 months. 2 people worked on the costume.
E. What parts of the costume are recycled from other costumes? The fabric rosettes (making up the peacocks "plumage" was partly made from scraps of fabric from old costumes and fabric left-overs.
F. What odd terrible awful nasty challenges did you have to overcome to make this costume as good as it was? Had to rethink and resize the size of the plumage, as the original idea was that the actor was going to be able to open and then fold the plumage. Took much work to figure out how to make the harness and what materials to use to make it as lightweight as possible, as the actors also had to carry the plumage by themselves to the location and put it on themselves.
G. What is the BEST thing about the costume rendering or final real costume? How the "feathers" moved in the wind and breeze as this was an outdoor performance.
H. Most important! How much of the costume had to change from the rendering (the dream) to get into reality? The size of the plumage, how the plumage (harness) worked, the number of the peacock "eyes".
