production for miyuki y los 3 onis

well.... we are behind all design production for the play. MATAME!
COSTUMES
We had a lot of trouble with the costumes because first we lacked research for the designs and we had to re do them like 4 times. that delayed mr.boxes, and when we called him the budget was too high so we had to meet with him to cut some costumes. We realized that we exagerated too much with some costumes and didnt think in making them cheap. Now we are waiting for the new budget. it will take a lot of time to make them and we dont have too much time, we have less than a month of rehearsals!
SCENERY
The same happened with scenery, i had the designes but didnt gave them to the constructor so when we did it was too late, we had to wait until the constructor came back from vacation so he could build the hanamichi, platform, wheeled platform, frames, and kitchen table. All this was delayed and the actors need them and they are not ready. if i hadnt left it all for the last minute we would probably have all of the things we asked for except the hanamichi and the platform.
CYCLORAMAS
I had to change some designs for the 2 big ones, in the palace i had to rub out all the lines that turned the image in a 3D one because if it were 3D we would be wanting to create a "real palace" but we dont because kabuki doesnt portray realness, but the contrary. The game of equivocatrion in the palace worked a lot with the colors we will paint it with, which are shdes of green and shades of brown which are the colors that represent trees=forest
The thing with the forest was that equivocation in the design of the forest wasnt clear, so we had to re-do the design and create a palace/house design with the branches and flowers. In this case the colors are not as representative as in the palace, we are using shades of brown, yellow and red.
For the kitchen we had a lot of problems with the design, i first drew a very occidental kitchen which collided with all the play,then we thought of a kind of window impression and to give it a sense of a kitchen we drew the shape of the windows like knives, boxes and bottles. When it came the time to paint it we struggled because we had to choose specific color sthat didnt crash with the big cyclorama behind so we did little designs of how the kitchen would look like with different colors and placed it infront of the big one. This helps visualize how it would look like, just choosing colors and not testing them first is not a good idea.
We decided at the end to paint the frames of the windows grey so the colors that touchwed the edges of the big cyclorama would clash with strong colors. we painted the knives black so they could stand out, and i think that is a good color for the knive as well becasue it could be a weapon, so it could represent death and death in kabuki is represented by the color black. The bottles were painted green (bottle green) and the boxes white so it would give some light to the image.

hope it isnt as bad as last week.... i tried harder i sware
