Vestir a un personaje

Abstract

It was created from the actor's need to explore the different scenic languages (the word, the body, costumes and make-up, objects, sound, lighting), in order to obtain tools for the creation of his characters. It was decided to do it from the costumes since this is an element that, in many occasions, ends up being chosen in the last phase -either because of the uncertainty of not knowing what could be adequate for the construction of the role or because of the performer's carelessnesswhere, many times, it manages to contribute elements to the score and the actor's interpretation, which are not deepened due to the rush of the premiere, leaving a valuable resource some what abandoned or unexplored. At the same time, try to involve the performer with the detailed choice of costumes, trying to make the actor and/or actress be careful with the elements that he/she will put on stage and manage to answer the question: why do I put this and not that? This pages don’t pretend to have the absolute truth, on the contrary, it wants to generate questions for the actor or actress and his or her character. It aspires to be a guide that the reader can use at his or her convenience and adapt to his or her needs.
