First meeting

  
                                                    First meeting for circus



During the first meeting the designer Katie Broome describe the main theme of her designs and explained each character and their part in the performance. The main idea was is of these grotesque characters living in this caravan world and being kept there by the grounds keeper who spies on everyone.

Ideas for characters

·         Shiny side of lycra used to create a glitzy feel but broken down to give a grotesque look.

·         Grotesque look to the characters – grey skin, boils, fat suits, stained clothes

·         Boils and spots created in sequins  to give the glitzy feel

·         Masks worn to emphasise features

·         Rag wigs worn / eye brows/ nose hair

·         Some parts of costume could be painted onto body suite such as belt necklace or created with big sequins
