Intro to Performing Arts | Friday, 2nd Period
Today when students arrived, they would find the Danger Shop made up to look like the costume department of a relatively well-to-do theater. There were racks upon racks of brightly-colored fabric, ranging from swaths of just fabric without form to actual completely moddable costumes, including hats, pins, and any other number of accessories.
"Hey guys!" Annie poked out from behind a mannequin that she'd draped some fabric over, a couple of pins sticking out of the corner of her mouth. She removed them to continue, "We're going to play with costumes today! So, typically, you'll find that if you're cast in something or strike out on your own to do a production, you'll find that you work forward from the concept to what you'll be wearing. Today, though, I kind of want to reverse-engineer things -- I want you to go nuts and create a costume for yourself out of what you can find here, and then tell everyone what your character is based on what you've created for them out of clothes. My suggestion is to find a costume piece that you like and work backwards to create a character inspired by your outfit, though I can appreciate that might not be the easiest thing."
Considering Annie had designed several iterations of her own super-uniform, she herself was pretty used to having the vision in mind before starting on the realization thereof, but she was also utterly confident that her students were creative enough for this exercise.
Also it seemed kind of fun, but maybe that was just her.
