Question: And how do you articulate your ideas, is it through designs, sketches? Answer: No, I?ve never been one for drawing. Question: Ah, that?s interesting, how do you bring forward ideas? Answer: Well, I don?t trust drawings at all these days because I think that, that there is so much interpretation there that I would rather cut it out most of the time to be honest and I draw under duress, you know, with the occasional director that says ?oh, aren?t you gonna do some drawings??. No, I?d rather sort of look at, yes sources, source pictures, I mean certainly if you?re talking about stage design as opposed to costume, then it?s really useful to model something, you know, to work in model form I think is helpful to everybody, to all the people involved in the project. It?s, it?s yes, I?d separate those two things whereas I don?t, I?ve never found doing drawings of costumes particularly helpful to either actors, myself, you know, everybody starts interpreting in a different way and it doesn?t, it sometimes seems like an imposition, it?s not that difficult to keep a whole show in your head, you know, once you?ve been doing it for a while, and keep your imagination storing up those pictures and using primary sources to show people really. If it?s somebody you don?t know they tend to want you to do more pictures because it?s kind of reassuring that you might be, you know, talking about the same thing. If it?s people that you?ve worked with over and over again, which I clearly have, you know, most of my time in the theatre, then there?s enough trust there to let each of us kind of put our contribution for the show together in our own way. So, I do tend to make big scrap books. I do tend to make big pages of reference where I paste up lots of different images for one character or for one part of the play, so I do keep big scrapbooks which I do find are more useful because they offer lots of possibilities rather than kind of one conclusion that you?ve reached right at the beginning of the process. |
