Mango Roses: Measurements

What did I do?

Today I went to the second rehearsal  of Mango Roses. I took the measurements of all actors/actress so that we could give them to the tailor in order to make the costumes. 

Taking action!

When I got home, I organized the measurements and gave them to Mr. Thompson (director and my supervisor). Then I arranged so I could take the crew to Sanyu Babies home during the week to take some footage for the play. I then organized the backstage crew and gave them each a job such as lighting, smoke machine, ushers, props, etc.

Let's reflect...

It was a very different experience taking measurements of so many people, as well as intimidating. I had never taken measurements for costumes and had to make sure they were good enough, and that I didn't forget anything. Shoulder to wrist, shoulder to waist, waist to ankle, shoulder to shoulder, chest. However, it was a great way to get closer to the actors, get all their names, their character names. I talked with them, got to know them and asked how they felt about the production. It was a great opportunity to meet new, extremely talented people and make friends with them.
