Tech Scholarship - 2017
Jac won a tech scholarship at the 2017 CETA Festival. She had to show off my design work in Light, Sound, Props, Set, Costume, Hair/Make-up, and Directing with the Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Here are some examples of the Set and Costumes.
​
Her concept was to take A Midsummer Night's Dream during the early 1400 A.D. of the Anasazi Tribe.
Notes on the Costumes:
​
-
The Anasazi tribe believed in a Sky Father and Earth Mother - so they inspired Oberon and Titania look.
​
-
The Mechanicals are the storytellers of the tribe. So when they go into their “play within a play” they wear these Native American story telling robes.
​
-
The hat Puck wears is the Colorado State flower.
​
-
Nick Bottom (as a donkey) wears a robe with faux donkey fur.
The city set was inspired by how the Anasazi tribe civilization was in sandstone, while the forest surround it. The house wall with the open doorway is able to pivot inward and outward to create the “outside” of the house or the “inside”.
​
Four large Oak trees around 1'-2' wide and around 20'-25' tall hanging from the flies. * The ramps are able to move around the stage on casters, and have a bumps throughout the surface to create the idea of natural erosion in areas. Inspired by the quote “On the dark and dirty ground” (2.2, Puck). The flower beds will be placed around the stage connected to the mats and be fasten into small holes on the floor deck. For Act 2, Scene 2 and Act 3, Scene 1 lamps and a flower made hammock that can carry body weight, would be flown down. The hammock would be in front of the main Oak tree because. . . * “We’ll meet at the giant oak tree in the dukes forest” (1.2, Quince)
