Synopsis
Written by the former Deputy Head of Make-Up and Wigs at the National Theatre, this book opens up a process that very few people will otherwise be privy to, giving perspectives on the preparation before a production and responsibilities during, as well as looking more widely at training, career opportunities and success. It does so through drawing upon some of the most adventurous and challenging productions mounted at the National Theatre and elsewhere. From designing and fitting wigs to managing lighting-fast quick changes, hair, wigs and make-up people are a major part of the creation of any theatrical production. Yet their role and contribution are much less discussed and written about than elements such as writing, directing and acting, despite being critical to defining and executing the aesthetic of a production. Their involvement requires a great deal of research and creative thinking; collaboration with other members of the creative team; specific knowledge of wig-making and measuring, make-up design and application; and managing all of these elements during the course of the evening. Often required to cover all three elements (and sometimes more), the designer looking after hair, wigs and make-up needs to bring to the production multiple areas of expertise and is a core part of the creative team., Written by the National Theatre's former Deputy Head of Wigs. Hair and Make-Up, this book open sup a process to which very few people will otherwise be privy. From designing and fitting wigs to managing lightning-fast quick-changes and applying theatrical prosthetics, the wigs, hair and make-up team are a core part of the creation of any production. Throughout this book, you will be introduced to the research and creative thinking involved in wigs, hair and make-up design and gain an understanding of how these artists collaborate with the rest of the production team to create cohesive aesthetic, as well as the specific skills needed to make a wig or prosthetic. Drawing upon some of the most adventurous and challenging production mounted at the National Theatre and elsewhere, the author offers perspectives on the preparation before and responsibilities during a production, as well as looking more widely at training and career opportunities.

Seller Feedback (353,414)
- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
