Stuff we have in the Costume Basement that the new costumer can come and play with:

Pool Noodle Storage DVC Costume Studio

Our main sewing machines are all vintage mechanical tabletop Berninas that work (no industrials), we also have 20 Bernette B05 Academy machines for sending home with costume students in the Spring Intro to Costume Design class, that are usable in Fall if you can lure in free minions to help.

I’m sticking around to teach Drama 112 Stage Makeup in Fall, and I’m still doing Archive volunteer work till the 75th Anniversary (of both DVC and the Drama program) in 2025, which is as well as the 50th anniversary of the PAC which occurs at the same time. (The PAC was opened in 1975 on the 25th anniversary of DVC). So I can help any newbie get up to speed (and find where all the stock items you need are located).

There is a paid 10 hr a week student assistant (if you want to continue this) who knows a bunch, who is already researching and applying for designing the student show (“Radium Girls”) in the Arena (little theatre in the round) in early December. So one less headache in finding one. One can usually also hire another 10 hr PT student minion. Work study minions beyond this 20 hr total Drama Dept. budget limit can be hired just by filing the paperwork if you can find any work-study qualified students, because none of the cost comes from the Dept.

First show of the year is “All Shook Up” (musical comedy with Elvis songs in late October on the PAC Mainstage) which appears to be vaguely based in a fictional small American town in any date(s) between 1950s to now. Musical comedy type colorful clothing 1950-now has been a center of my hoarding strategy for over a decade so 98% of this show is likely to be found in our stock and you only need to create stuff you actually want to. We even own a pair of bright blue suede shoes!

Spring will bring “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead” to the PAC Mainstage. Our 16th Century stock is limited, but adequate, and we have long had a mutual lending agreement with Pink Depford Costume/Center Rep that can help both parties build only what you actually want to build.

The last show of the year is currently listed as a “surprise” in negotiation with the playwright. One of our directing/acting professors has a good relationship with two popular living American playwrights, and so can sometimes get us a rather new work before other colleges get to do it. This will also be in the little “Arena” theatre in the round which is a fun space to work in.

You can see LOTS of images of DVC shows at the DVC Drama Archive if you want to know the nearly full history of what DVC drama has been doing 1950-now.

Back early in the semester you hopefully created your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio Assignment 1 : Create a Place to Collect Your Makeup Morgue/Portfolio  If you followed  the instructions from the beginning, you dutifully have already

  • Put all your completed assignments into your Portfolio, whether you made a website, a Portfolium folio, a Google Doc, or a physical binder, or whatever place you put copies of all your renderings, research images and photos of your makeup projects after you did them.
  • Organized your assignments into project groupings in your Portfolio.
  • Labeled your assignments so they make sense to someone looking at the portfolio.

If you have been doing this all along, you simply need to show me your portfolio and you are done!

If you have not, you need to do all that importing, or printing, dividing into categories, and labeling now.  When you are finished, either show your binder portfolio in person to the instructor, and post some photos of it here, or if you have an online version put the URL to the online location here.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT HEIC FILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN CANVAS.

•Insert Date Here: Both Groups: Come to the Greenroom upstairs and bring your Makeup Morgue/Makeup Portfolio project (or show it to me on my office computer). Check through your assignments with Tara (parked in her office at PA 121 off of the Green Room) and learn your grade. Turn in any missing work. Also bring any late projects, photos of projects you did at home, and your double checked grade points sheet to make sure I have your correct amount of points.  If you are not sure what you have, please come and we can usually find a way for you to get projects done by the end of the day sufficient to pass the class. I will be staying at DVC after the class period till 5pm to let you finish and turn in any late work done. If you are far behind at the beginning of class time, instead go directly to the makeup room to get help from the TAs at catching up before you come upstairs.

Be Calm.  There is no test, no quiz, and you can skip these videos if you don’t have time for them.  These are all just cool food for thought that you may enjoy.  I find the more I learn factually about faces the better I can see them, work with them, and achieve our ideal of enlightenment.  So, I share these with you so you may do the same…. if you have the time, watch and enjoy.  If you do not, chill, and always remember, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR FACE!

Repeat Your Mantra: "There is NOTHING Wrong With My Face!"
