Bwah!!!! So sorry, to both myself and you all out there in internet land, for my long lapse in blogging. Life and work caught up with me and i've been all over the place since the last we shared a moment! As my boyfriend would sing "Lets start at the very beginning.."
So at the end of the academic year, both mine and my boyfriends lives were overtaken by the gigantic Falstaff that was to be built by the two of us and a few grad students at CCM. I built 7 looks for the male principle's in a few short weeks. here's one for Master Ford (the role was double cast, and later included a velvet cloak).
and because i am a very proud boyfriend, here are some of the looks built by jonathan waters (all except the red)
after that lovely little number, it was off to magical santa fe new mexico for a summer of building costumes for a magnificent season. we did la traviata with natalie dessay, the elixer of love with the intoxicating jennifer black, a remount of don giovanni, a brand new production called the letter with costume designs by tom ford, and finally a marvelous baroque piece called Alceste - with the title role sung by the toooooo fabulous and lovely soprano to lead all sopranos Christine Brewer. i built mainly ladies wear, with a few fabulous mens coats and alterations. i did the first handing for pat racette - a wonderfully talented diva soprano - wearing some gorgeous 1930s pieces as seen below.
finally at the end of the summer i made a whirl wind trip to san antonio, to visit my beautiful family, then to new orleans for a night of debauchery and fun, to orlando to visit the inlaws and the happiest place on earth, and then finally back to our home! quite a time. will post more soon.
