Since ad hoc Ballet is on hiatus until August, I have switched gears fully to concentrate my creative energies on LOLAstretch and my costume design projects.

And today was all costume design…..I had a meeting with New Chamber Ballet’s Artistic Director, Miro Magloire, about two sets of new costumes for their upcoming show. We talked about the composers for the two pieces, Mozart and Sciarrino, and how the music can influence the color choices. I am holding off on sketching until I have seen the most recent rehearsals.

Then I headed to a rehearsal in midtown for an off off Broadway play, Penetrator, produced by Working Man’s Clothes (a great group of multi-disciplined theatre artists that are a riot to work with as evidenced by the photos below) and directed by Jeremy Torres. The three actors brought in some clothes for me to look at per my request and I made lists of what items still needed to be gathered. Then I wielded some multi-purpose scissors and proceeded to cut strategic bald spots into the actor, Michael Mason’s hair. He is very brave!

The show opens in a next week at the American Place Theatre.
