The Sondheim musical, Pacific Overtures, was put on by Boston University on the Calderwood Pavilion Stage. Head Painter was Amelia Gosset. I did freshman scenic painting, props, and stitched costumes for this show.
We started by tearing tissue papers into strips and putting it on the back of the flat in order to create a texture when the light shows through the flat. We then colored the front using resists for the grid lines, and watered down paint to get the watercolor effect.
There was a puppet necessary for the show, and I made the head for him. We started with the sculpture, then paper machete, and then painted. I also made the hat. The Props Head was Liz Panneton.
I have no pictures for the costume work; mostly I was a floating stitcher.
