Dancing Queens

What about costumes? Well, what about them? ...

Costumes, in an amateur production, are always a bit of a problem. Either you have a very good (and most of the time impossible to realize) idea of what your costume is going to be from the start - or you just go to the costume shop and find something that fits you and that fits the part.

That's how we made it work for As You Like It - and somehow it did work.


For this production, we have something of an in-betweener: our original idea was indeed impossible to realize - so we went for another idea we did find in a costume shop. 


It's funny how we need to rehearse in our costume - or bits of it - how it makes you move differently and do things differently. How unique it is.


Imagine you, as a person, had only one outfit to choose from. One. For your everyday life. That'd be it. Now, ask yourself: what would you go for? 


A hard bit of decision, ain't it? 


We're lucky enough we found our costume - and let me tell you, it looks great. It's painful and huge and black and funny - it definitely embodies our version of Ros and Guil. Looking forward to show it to you, dear reader!


On another note, our little troupe is leaving for South of France tonight! We're taking advantage of the Easter break to go and rehearse in Nadia's family villa near St Tropez - or how to mix business and pleasure.


Will definitely feedback you on our progress from there!


Love,
Guil
