semana santa!

it is the fourth time we re/do the costumes for the play, we realized kenzo and i didn't follow any conventions so we had to do all the costumes all over again, the colors were wrong, the longth of the kimonos were wrong, EVERYTHING.

i went to the beach this weekend so kenzo had to work with mauricio nad pineda so havent seen much of whatvthey have done, but this thursday mr.cajas is comming to start measuring the costiuimes so if they are wrong they have to stay that way because we have no time.

COSTUMES

COSTUMES ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY
i am working with kenzo the costumes and it is very difficult because we lost 2 rehearsls doing kenzos homework and we could do the things we had to do. Today we finished designing the costumes, then i had problems with the kimonos of the girls because mauricio told me that they had to have the openning in the front and i hadnt done it right, so i had to do it all again. Then i struggled because i invented some kimonos for the cookers and because i never did my research in costumes last year as i should have done it i had no idea of what the conventions were, i had to be constntley asking kenzo or mauricio or pineda. That created a huge dependace and i could do all the things i was planning on doing.

today we were going to go to gamara, but we couldnt go. i am planing in going on monday in the morning because we have to call cajas next tuesday and this tuesday we have to have the different cloth to discuss and i am not going to be here in holy week...
the scenery of the play is concerning me a lot because i havent yet hanged the cycloram nor draw the back grounds... then coppellotti isnt doing the things i ask him to do like finding out where are the platforms for the musicians or the measures or how many musicians are there going to be.... !!!

Maybe not colouring the costumes and just going to gamarra and look for the colors i need without having a settled exact color for each character could make my costume work lighter?
Will the thickness of the cloth influence on the effect the costumes will cause in the audience??

valentina corrected my research and helped me a lot, she told me that what my research was lacking wasnt information, but order so she helped ,me organize myself and let me see it much more clear.

i am starting to work on production of the play, i dont have an important role on the training rehaersals like i used to, but i have to start working with the form Vers. Tomorrow i will start working with coppellotti explaining him what we should do and what he should do in order to produce the scenery. I talked yesterday with my aunt and ask her to help me with the designes. We looked at japanese terraces in imgaes google and got several ideas for the blending of the forest and palace. if i blend too much both sceneries, my it get the audience confused? my taziyeh reaserch is comming aloing, yesterday i recieved the response from one of robertos friends and he responded lots of my questions like: the plays are rituals and are seen like that to the people, but that rituals are not necesarily religious and i asked him some more questions. i hope he will replay there are some things about my extended i am not sure about like the dates in which the plays are performed, one of the things i asked him the second time....
