Costume Examples: Ring Leader Characters


Through sourcing costumes and working on multiple projects for the C.C.C assignment I've realised that across the different productions there are characters that bear resemblance. For example, in the Farnham Maltings project Hades has been designed as a ring leader type front man. In comparison, we have a lion tamer in the Real Medway and Swale augmented reality project, so using the same costume for multiple uses (as long as the photoshoots or performance dates don't coincide) seems a simple way of cutting project budgets as well as time spent sourcing extra costumes.

Red jackets, top hat, and black trousers with red stripe could be used both for Ellie as the Lion Tamer in the Real Medway and Swale project, as well as Andy performing as Hades in the Farnham UCA production of 'Orpheus.'
