WARM UP
Today was our first rehearsal from 6-9pm.  This was quite challenging as I'm not used to rehearsing this late but I had quite a fun time.  For our warm up, we were introduced to a workout to a song:

...
When the song said "bring Sally up" we had to stand and when it said "bring Sally down" we had to squat.  Mr Lemon made sure we were in the proper form.  This was so difficult for me as I'm not very physically fit.  Ms Trono told me that a part of being an actor is having that physical ability and strength so I will be doing more exercise in order to increase my fitness and stamina.

REHEARSAL
We found out today that Georgia has been in quite a serious accident which means she is unable to do the show so Silvana had to step up to her role.  As Silvana had to take on Georgia's role in a previous rehearsal where Georgia didn't show up, she was already very familiar with the choreography which was helpful.  Silvana really embraced the duck role and accepted the stress, hard work and dedication that came with it.  For this rehearsal, we spent a bit of time helping Silvana with her new role and did our first full run through with costume.  This run through wasn't as smooth as the one yesterday which we were quite upset about as we wanted to prove how hard we worked on Sunday.  After the first run through, our morale was pretty low because we were annoyed with ourselves but we didn't let it stop us.

WHAT I DID

To create the hunters' look, I simply added some dark browns and blacks in splotches on their faces.  This was to make them look muddy and dirty.

WHAT I DID

I went around the outside of his face with a black liner on a brush making lines and stripes as I went. I also extended this under his cheek bones and added it onto his eyebrows.  Then I lined his eyes and extended that down to the inner corner.  Under that, I added another line and filled in the gap with white.  I then added the lines and stripes coming off of the lowest line.  After that, I filled in his nose and added the line down his cupid's bow.  I then finished it off by added white lines wherever I had the black lines.  For the actual performance, I will apply the liner closer to his hair line so it doesnt look as disconnected.

WHAT I DID

For Peter, I liked the idea of rosy cheeks and freckles.  I added a lot of blush onto the apples of his cheeks in a circle.  I then scattered some freckles over his cheeks.

WHAT I DID

I made Seth do different facial expressions to see where the natural contours and wrinkles would be on an old man.  I first made him make an angry face, causing two lines between his eyebrows.  I then made him raise his eyebrows to form the wrinkles on his forehead.  After that, I made him scrunch up his eyes to get the wrinkles around there.  I lastly made his smile to get the smile lines.  I blended these lines a bit and then added some concealer to his eyebrows and eyelashes.

TIMELAPSE

WHAT I DID

First I applied a bronzer to her crease and dragged it outwards slightly.  I then took a darker brown and darkened the crease.  After that, I concealed her eyelids then applied a yellow, shimmery eyeshadow over the top.  The reason I concealed before was to brighten that yellow colour, however, the eyeshadow I have isn't very bright or pigmented so I will need to find one that is.  I then blended the yellow eyeshadow into the brown in the crease.  I then added a dark brown/black to her outer corner to give more dimension.  After that, I applied a shimmery, teal blue under her waterline and added a subtle blue highlighter to her inner corner and over the teal blue eyeshadow.  Finally, I added black eyeliner with a wing.  I think that the eyeliner would possibly be better without the wing as Georgia's eyes suit it more.  For the actual production, I would give her stage makeup as well.

 

Cat Makeup - Peter and the Wolf - Ms Trono

MY INSPIRATION

As head of makeup, I have made a pinterest board for the looks I would like to do on each of the characters.  I even tried out the cat makeup on myself to see what would look good.

WHAT I DID

For the eyes, I did a brown, light smokey eye and dragged the darkest shade under my waterline and then pulled that down to create an animalistic look.  I put white highlighter in my inner corner and dragged that down till it reached the brown line.  I did winged eyeliner to add to that cat eye effect.  I believe contacts would be a good idea.
For the face, I added a lot of bronzer (which is quite hard to see in these photos) and also contoured my nose to be wider than normal.  I put a black liner on the tip of my nose and pulled that down my cupid's bow to my top lip.  I extended my top lip out and put 3 dots on each side of my cupid's bow.  I then finished off with adding 3 whiskers on each cheek.

In this rehearsal we were beginning to choreograph the show.  We had a few difficulties such as finding ways to make it all visible to the audience as we are using a thrust stage.  We each came up with a set movement for our characters.  As the cat, mine was a stealthy walk in time with the music.  I believe I can improve on this movement to make it more interesting and entertaining for a younger audience.
