Makeup task {Performing Arts Technology Standard"
Preparation tasks - Full task ; witches description and script in your google drive Drama folder.
Read the script you have been
given. You will be allocated a character. Consider the dominant characteristics of this character and the role of this
character in the story.
Make some notes on your character. You may find these questions
helpful:
1.
Is this a real character, an mythological or a
fantasy creature?
2.
• What are the dominant physical features of
this character, eg. age, gender, size, shape, texture?
3.
• What are the dominant emotional features of
this character, eg. kind, fearful, fierce, happy.
4.
• What is the status of this character, eg. how
important is the character, how much power does this character have?
5.
• What is this character’s role in the story and
how does this character relate to the other characters in the story?
6.
• What else is important about this character?
Consult with the production team, in particular the director and costume
designer. Record the director’s concept. [see above]
7.
Record
the costume designer’s ideas (colour, shape). Consider the performance space –
how close is the audience, what kind of lighting is being used? How will the
lighting effect the make-up? Make appropriate notes that will guide your
decision making later on. It is more supportive of achievement at the higher
levels to create your own design.

Witches and other scary creatures
We are going to do a design task - we have discussed witches and looked at some scenes of the witches from Macbeth. The context is: "We are doing a Shakespeare Festival performance with the 2 witches scenes from "Macbeth", [1:1, 4:1] the witches summon a range of evil creatures from the dirty, swirling mist around them. We want the audience to feel that the witches have opened a portal to the supernatural world. The time period is distorted and creatures from past and future times appear. The mood is threatening, malevolent. The witches speak in the words of Shakespeare and evoke a sense of frenetic ritual." If you want to do the NCEA task you need to do 2 designs.
