Set, Costume, Light

Yeah.. so today we had a real short but very productive session...

We manage to finalize our set, and also discussed about the possibliities of the light needed for the play and the costumes.

SET- We will keep the same three rows of hay with a middle partation. something like-

___________ ________ ____________

l SAND l

___________ l_______ l ____________

____________ ____________

Yeah, the middle portion that says sand is going to consist of a tray with sand on it, on which my dearest daughetr will scribble out a letter to her grandmother.

The three rows of hay will be made by using brown paper, plasticine (donno how to spell it) and and Hay. They will be about 2 meters long?

LIGHT-

The script requires us to 'cut' the grass and talk at the same time. Thus, we will be looking down alot. We are considering using lights from the bottom, so that our faces can be properly lit up. Other than that, the light from on top should be relatively the same, lighting up the setting evenly, maybe a spot light on each of us. Nearing the ending of teh script, we will be using a red and orange light to signify the setting sun.

COSTUMES-

Lulama-

- A long skirt, a rap around.(something like the one you see on top)

- A shirt, yet not a shirt that you wear now a days...

- A shawl that will cover the shirt.

- A head kind of turban thing.

Zandile-

- Long wrap around skirt

- She will probably have to wear a shirt that has a traditional patern on it since she does not have a shawl to cover it. I have a poncho with a pattern like that, so we can tuck in a little bit here and there to make it look like a shirt.

- No shawl

- A head turban thing that is smaller than the mothers.
