Assignment


3.5 Look Book


Imagine you are part of a small production team preparing to bring Bradley Hayward’s play Selfie to the stage.  The director has tasked each of you with developing one character.  Your job is to bring this character to life through such details as

  • the character’s physical appearance (for casting purposes)
  • wardrobe
  • makeup/hair
  • props
  • set design
The director wants you to create a Look Book—a kind of brainstorming board for the character—that will serve the director during auditions as well as members of the crew as they build the set, sew the costumes, gather the props, etc.

The director wants to ensure that the details in the Look Book are consistent with the play, so he wants you to include short quotations from the play in your Look Book to support your choices regarding the mise-en-scène
