Costume = Identity

With recent conversations revolving around costume ideas, I thought it would be prudent to create a post where we can share our ideas.

We spoke recently about where we would be performing the piece and Studio 2 within the LPAC is looking like the ideal location. A point was made about maybe writing the statistics onto the wall in the studio somehow.

My thoughts are, if we could have black paper on the wall we could write the statistics onto the wall as we go along. I thought this could then translate onto our clothing, where we could be in black also and write the statistics onto each other in chalk. After a discussion with Charlotte about this, we realised that chalk may not show up too well so thoughts moved onto marker pen (one that will come off after a wash!!). So my thoughts then evolved onto the wall maybe being covered in white paper and us being dressed in neutral coloured clothing (initial thoughts being a vest and shorts) as this will strip us of an identity and essentially make us a blank slate for performing.
