Prop& Costume!

We had a little time before we had a real space to rehearse in so we sat down and discussed our props and costume to help with this homework.


Definite props

The dress - This is probably the most important. It shows her past and how skinny she really was. It's one of the only props (other than a possible skeleton) that really shows the anorexic message.

Lectern - This is for Imogens narrating. We thought it would give a good story telling effect. This could also be exaggerated using a big book.

Clothes Rail - To hang the dress on, 'REVEAL the skeleton and dress'. Also acts as a mirror later on.

Props we'd like;

Food(Cake/chocolate, ect.) - This will be used in the 'flashback' scene where the anorexia's power is shown.

2 Identical Jumpers, just different sizes - Larger jumper for Emily ('Anoreixa') to wear and look 'bigger'
Smaller identical jumper.

An underskirt - Emily has this. We just haven't tried it with the dress. It's to exaggerate the small size of the dress.

Costume;
We don't have any set costume yet. We will just be trying to be our characters. E.G; Children, a mum, ect.
