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

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.

The Master Plan For World Domination:

---

For this project you will again use a phone app to do something that is both useful and very silly looking.  You will take your photo straight on (no tilting or you will look more “Space Alien” than you intend) on your smart phone, and process it in MirrorPhoto  (or another photo mirror type app) then manipulate it in the app to make two new “Alien Replicant” versions of your face with the two right sides repeated on one, and the two left sides on another:

As you can see this makes slight asymmetries in your face easier to see.  When we do “Corrective” makeup it will let you see which areas you may wish to try to even out. 

Step 1:

---

If you use an iPhone, download the free MirrorPhoto App.  

NOTE: If you are on Android or another system, just go to your system app store and check out a few of the hundreds of available free “photo mirror” apps that are out there, till you find one that lets you do what you want.  I tried 3 apps in the Apple system before I found the easiest one for iPhone, but unfortunately I don’t have the other types of phones to test.  However, if my own experience holds true you may find some fun free apps that while they wont let you make an alien twin they can do other fun things with your photos, so your time is not wasted.

Step 2:

---

Take your photo with your phone.  Try to get your face to take up most of the frame, and not to tilt one way or other, take photos till you get one that does this.

Step 3:

---

Save the face to your phone by using the up arrow at the top of the screen.  Hitting the up key opens options for saving and/or sharing including a down arrow key button at left. Hit that button to save to your phone. The image will show a Save Success rectangle on the photo when it saves correctly.

Step 4:

---

NEW! Video with more detailed updated explanation:

Hit the first mirror key in the app (shown here as blue) to mirror-double the face.  Then drag the image towards the center till the sides merge into a single face.  Save the face to your phone.

Step 5:

---

Click the next mirror key which will show the other side of the face.  Adjust the position of the face to look normal.  Save the image to your phone.

Step 6:

---

Upload your three pictures below:

Optional Step 7:

---

Play with your face and the app to do fun silly stuff to share with your friends.  (Or not.)

  I like the 3 eyed photo so much I use it as my identity photo on Portfolium!

After you have watched the videos in class or online, and done your research on “corrective” makeup, come to class and do your makeup with help from me and the Makeup TA’s.  Tara will do your photo shoot.   Tell me if you are OK with just picking them up from the general Drama 112 Stage Makeup Fall 2022  Google Photo Album, or if you prefer, I text or email them to you privately. After you get the photos, pick a few you like best and post them here for credit.  This will remind your fearless instructor to give you points!

If for some reason you can’t be in class, do the assignment at home as soon as possible and post stuff here also for credit.   

Late assignments do not lose points in this class, but repeated procrastination messes up your life and often your work quality.
