Re:Union Workshop – Day 3 – Costume Inspirations

This morning we arrived at the workshop and each found a small black pile at our place.  Last night, after the workshop, costume designer Florence Barrett took a wool jacket and burnt it for four and a half minutes (three minutes longer than Norman Morrison burned) as a part of her research and this morning she presented us with her results.  The first thing I noticed was the smell – similar to burning hair, but it lingers in a room for a long time.

After spending the morning with our design team, we were joined by the actors for the afternoon and Sean gave us all the newest draft of the first 12 pages – new since yesterday.  One of the things that is so wonderful about having these development workshops is that we can all sit in a room together and have these conversations at a point that changes can still happen.  The production is evolving daily and I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with next.

Want a peek at the costume inspirations?
