First thing after our meeting with Constance, I found the cast list and began to gather all the actors measurements into a spreadsheet. Once I completed this I sent the actors their individual profile to ensure that the measurements we had were still accurate. When I had confirmation from all actors I finalised the chart and added it to the Costume Bible.

Due to this production being so collaborative, me and Celia didn’t have much to jump into straight away, so I began putting together a digital costume bible. First thing I did was add Constance’s mood boards and break down (Costume plot). I then created a calendar for the shows run using the information and dates that we had been sent.

Today (Thursday 29th) we did manage to get into costume and pull these coats for the characters.  Constance wanted us to pull around 9 non-descriptive coats (which you can see in the background of this picture) and then coats representing the characters identity. We chose these coats by using Constance's mood boards as our reference.

Today the actors sent us over their mood boards showing us how they picture the character and their costumes. Constance asked them to do this over the weekend in order for Constance to find a middle ground between her costume designs and their perception of the characters. I have hyper-linked these below. Stiva Mood Board Dolly Mood Board Vornksy Mood Board Kitty Mood Board Princess Betsy Mood Board Nikolai/Muffled Figure Mood Board We also grabbed a couple of jackets and one three piece suit from a suitcase of donations. We grabbed the two jackets just to allow Constance to have more options for coats, and we grabbed the three piece suit because as as of right now we believe the men will all be wearing suits, tailored to their personalities.

After the costume discussions we went to wardrobe and pulled a handful more suits and a bucket of shoes that we believe align with the aesthetic that both the actors and Constance have envisioned.

Added Constance’s costume drawings that she completed over the weekend to the costume bible. Me and Celia then made a costume list using these drawings. Over the weekend there was a change in cast so today we had to contact the two new cast members for their measurements. BA2 year group meeting with Sean @ 18:30 - 19:30 via zoom
