The Furies and Arrangement for Murder No. 2
Posted in General Production, Scenic Design, Scenic Painting on April 14th, 2015 by Eric AppletonContinuing work on the upcoming UW-Whitewater production of “The Furies”!
First, a visit to the costume shop, where we find the masks of the Furies themselves. . .
. . . and student Amy (who is also a nationally ranked champion swimmer!) working on the noise rattling juju bracelets. . .
. . . while up in the Barnett, light hang begins. Here’s TD Steve Chene working with two students from the Intro to Tech class (Josiah, and it looks like Shelby standing behind him) on the cyc electric. Student Logan Bydalek is designing the lighting for the show.
Here’s Steve in the shop working with TA Quinn and Intro student Joe on the short flight of stairs that will be set into the navelstone, allowing Hermes to ascend and pour water over Orestes.
Elsewhere in the shop, Logan works with Intro students Brandon and Joe on running some facing through the table saw.
In the hallway, Intro students Jennifer and Teresa cut the lengths of twine that will be used to string up the shards.
I continued work on the navelstone. Here’s the front half of the snake that twines around the stone. . .
. . . and went ahead and painted the stone itself. . .
. . . . only to realize I hadn’t put the leaves around the base. Looks like I will be doing some repainting today!
And while all this is going on, I’m also working on the set for the summer production of “Arrangement for Murder, No. 2.” Here’s where I am with the Sketchup model, after our production meeting conversation the other day:
