Costuming and Make-up for Chester




The final pieces are being now put together. How would one want to follow the story of Adam and Eve. In the beginning were they clothe, were the angels clothe, who was clothe, and why? This is a diffilcult decision, but I find Art in the eye of the beholder. So let's follow what art through history showed the interpretation of Adam and Eve:




So many artist see the beginning of human as, well, naked. Do we want to push the envelope of having naked people trouting around. Heck yes. Why not understand the human body as it is. Why cover up in the beginning. Now, the audience may react differently to people being naked, but remember we as thespians have to do our job where the naked doesn't overshadow the show. Here is a note for casting. Find curves in the women and flaws in the boys. Now I'm not saying go find these specific bodies, so do not cast atrractive people. People will find reasons to look at the naked people if the attraction level is there. Look at the art what makes the art beautiful if the people are naked. It is how the body is posed.
