I was reading about the other events on Leeds Light night this year they look really interesting its one of my favourite nights out….and I'll miss it! because we are an event at Leeds Light Night, wish I could do both.
We tried on our costumes and did a photo shoot this week. Its a really useful process a photo session it allows me to see the costumes at a distance, and on a body, not flat on a wall or table. There were some changes came out of this process with Eva's costume. The first time we realised that polo necks, although they allowed our real life physicallity to be seperate,they actually made it look as if Eva's head was floating seperatly above …a bit disturbing. So we have gone with crew necks which works much better. She also needed a necklace, and the blue frill wasnt working. So now Beryl is born in full her full and rounded character Its been an interesting process whatching the personalities and character traits evolve as we developed the costumes.
I think Cheryl needs a necklace as she has a large expanse of flesh which I think could do with breaking up.
Arthur we decided came straight from school worked his way up to commissionaire. I think he quite likes the girls flirting with them he likes his uniform its smart and he feels important wearing it. He prides himself in being able to spot an important VIP in a crowd
Cyril probaby went to tech college to learn about projection and film he's a bit techy probably smokes a pipe wears cords and well worn brogues a tweedy green tie and a soft check farmer type shirt He likes Beryl and Cheryl but I think they worry him I don't think he'd feel safe in a confined space with either, he strikes me as more interested in his projectors and cameras
