Lighting, Shadows for transformation

Just kinda came across this picture. don't you think the lighting is beautiful(of the figure in the forefront)! this could be so effective for the bird transformation. Do you think we should maybe use a white backdrop and just project onto it, that way its more flexible to create different effects. Though could we submerge the audience in darkness with a white back drop??

Girl costume stuff

All the links are to cheap things I found on ebay :)

Masks- symbolic of the metamorphis? or silly idea:

They have these in all different colours


Would add a nice exotic spark to the forest setting?

Tights:

15 denier

40 denier

70 denier

the higher the denier number the more opaque the tights

Leotards: what colour do you think? I was thinking white or natural?.. or do you even think leotard would make a good costume? symy would you be comfortable wearing a leotard? suggestions???

Short Sleeved Leotard Off White

Thin Strap Bodysuit - this in white or pastel

Cream Chiffon Bodysuit- chiffon sleeves look birdy? or stupid

I was thought a cream/peach coloured leotard, with the ruched detail on the chest, and in the shiny lycra material might look nice

Green shorts

shorts 1

shorts 2

some shorts from ebay. I have no idea about mens sizing soooo. have a look, find some for yourself Milo? or do you have any. I think we would want to cut them up a bit

More dance positions

mmm realized most of this stuff is ballet I think, but thats quite good for birds right? I'll try and find some physicalisation for erl king grittier stuff too. maybe you can too Milo?

good place to do lifts and small jumps from

mmm prehaps not a move we could achieve?

Dance positions and stuff!

Use of scarves could be so effective. but where to get from?.. light flowy material.. Ben was saying we could try the schools textiles depo

orrr ebay it?..click :D

Beautiful bird motion, Symy and I tried something like this and its definitely doable!

Dunno if we can get this but its worth a try. such a beautiful still! (.. do you think she somehow looks like Jessica Parker whats-her-face!)

the one on the left. do able? yeh. birdlike

seductionnnn and bird :)

Fling video. Fling is a sort of physical theatre group. they used to be in Cirque Du Solei, but they wanted to do more choreographed dancey stuff and made this. really beautiful, maybe some elements we could use?

remember how technical this is milo! we wont beable to do half this stuff!

but yeh tell me what you think :)

Lighting and girl costume/design

Little red influence. costume ideas

body paint ideas

lighting ideas, to bounce off things on stage?

more lighting stuff. reflective gleaming light. mystical. maybe for the bird transformation or freedom of the birds scene

DV8. i really liked this video and ther way they actually use movement to express emotion and themes, as to frantic assemblies use of movement to secure the themes, like in the beautiful burnout they just throw in boxing every now and again to show they're training.

Also watch the bit at 3.08. So awesome! does anyone else think? So brilliantly creepy but amusing! maybe find a simular motif of movement sequence for the erl king?

little red again. capes are good for creating movement, manipulating with movement and for unraping (as in rap-ing not rapeing :) ) in the bird transformation?

Possible effects and body paint

brilliant image. ideas for legs of bird, maybe draw on to tights. also the trapeze idea

just a great image

idea for body make- erl king

human birds!.. ? useful for the transformation?

could paint this on to a backdrop?

More costume stuff

a bit of facial hair milo?? :) .. obviously not quite as much as this guy

Beautiful image. do u think we could create it with projection if your in a white/cream leotard or scarf symy?
the cool image i showed you before. idea for backdrop? or is this just a dream..

cool shorts no!? yes yes i know your not a fairy milo

Costume ideas- Erl King

the tattiness of his shorts is great for the erl king Green eyes and muddy face!
ravished damsels. the way the scarfs make them look dishevelled
his shorts are worn in a really cool way. quite milo too ;) maybe a bit too modern?
shall we give the erl king a cape?
