What
do they have in common? All these
productions have impressed me with the use of appearance to help create
credible characters, particularly SkyFall which I’ve just been to see.
As someone who has seen the effect Colour and Style can have
on people, one of my secret joys is observing with wonder the way people’s
perception of someone is transformed by changing their appearance.
My first experience, aged 13; ‘The Merchant of Venice’,
Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford
Pretty Woman is a timeless classic - moving Julia Roberts’
character believably from where it started into higher social circles would
have been impossible without the use of costume, make-up and hair.
For local inspiration, head out to the pantomimes soon to
grace our stages. Pirate, princess,
cowboy, pixie, fairy godmother, take your pick, but to be believable they have
to be obvious from first impressions.
