La Cage Aux Folles

*Chez Jaqueline Drop (Figure)

 Scenic Paint Apprentice

Skylight Music Theatre; Fall 2016

Directed by John de los Santos

Musical Director: Shari Rhoades 

Scenic Designer: Liliana Duque Piñeiro   Costume Designer: Chris March  Lighting Designer: Noele Stollmack

 

 

For Skylight's production of La Cage Aux Folles, one of the main projects that we had was to recreate a painting made by the scenic designer that was to be used during the scenes at Chez Jaqueline's.  The drop was done in two separate pieces, the figure, and the background.  To help with the drop, I was given the figure to paint.  This was done by hanging the muslin on the wall of the paint shop and projecting the image onto it, and then tracing the figure onto the muslin.  Once the figure was traced, the painting was mostly careful line work.  When the figure was finished, she was cut out and glued onto the background.
