Yesterday (and almost every day this week) I had Arabian Nights rehearsal. Yesterday (Tuesday Oct 9) we learned traditional Arabic dances and we picked out our costumes. I adore costumes, and I love fashion design as well, so it was a lot of fun for me. I picked out a costume for Amina (the evil sorceress I play in one scene), but I couldn't find a suitable base costume. A base costume is what I would wear coming onto the stage for the first time. From then on, as I switch characters throughout the play, I get certain things added on to my costume. After everyone picked out costumes and sizes were taken down, we moved on the dancing. We worked on seductive dances, ones that would be used during weddings or sexualized scenes. We didn't actually get to the play because rehearsals are very short and only go until 4:50 right now. However, after Oct. break, we'll be going until 6, and sometimes even 8. Yay... No, it's actually been a lot of fun.
