Costumes Anyone?

Costume fittings today. We thought they were going to be at 2:15, but Mrs. O. has a conflict and so we will forge ahead and make a new schedule for the fittings.

Mrs. Oberman is another parent who has made EGNC possible. She designed the principal costumes for the show and she has also built all of them! The students have never worn such glamorous and well made costumes at Baker. The colors are fabulous and wait until you see Primp and Preen's costumes...they really make a statement! More about the divine Ms. Oberman later. The students will do the hand sewing with Mrs. Kohlman starting today until opening two weeks from today. Mrs. Kohlman is working with the chorus costume designers to costume the entire chorus. Lots to do...lots to do...


This week is filled with tech and spot rehearsals.
I'm going to pull Solveig today for a one-on-one session for her solo...I pulled Emma during LA last week as well. Mrs. McKenna has the students working on projects that allow me to take an actor or tech person out for one LA period to rehearse. This has been a real help in that it allows students some one on one time with me to explore ideas for their characters. Sometimes Ms. Snyder is there as well which makes it possible for one of us to work with the actor and the other to observe the improvs and to comment and direct. This might be my favorite part of the whole thing...being able to work with students in small groups to delve into a character or a main idea for the play and to see how all of that is reflected in his/her character.

I'm at home this morning and off to school to figure out the specifics of rehearsals for the rest of the week before we go into rehearsal with Solveig.
