Now, with the final changes set and unless something dramatic happens in rehearsals (no pun intended) no more extreme costume alterations, it is finally time to get my designs altered. There are three reasons for doing this. The first is so that the costumes on the designs match the costumes worn for the sake of the dressers so that when they are given the image of what the actor is to be wearing in that scene it will match the costume. The second is to document the costume changes through the process as they have been altered. The third is for the sake of the actors when we present the designs to them at the read through.
On the first day back of the next term we launch into rehearsals. The first day is for the read through where the set and costume designs are presented to the cast for the first time. This is the first chance for the actors to get a look at their costumes and character designs so it is important that they are right for the actors to then be able to use that to help build up there characterisation for the performance.
So, without further ado - the first set of finished designs! I have been re-doing them in scene order. Theseus and Hippolyta's designs have not changed in this scene, and neither have the costumes for Philostrates or Egeus, however Helena's dress, Hermia's dress and Lysanders suit have all altered.
These are the designs up to the end of Act 2 scene 2!
