Imaging the Role: Makeup as a Stage in Characterization

Concerned as much with acting as it is with makeup, this work illuminates every actor’s quest for character?starting with a search for clues concealed in the script. Yet few actors fully understand the bond between a character’s psyche and physical appearance, and makeup classes seldom give the subject the attention it deserves.
Jenny Egan draws on her extensive experience to provide detailed instructions supported by clear illustrations for sculpting the face with paint, putty, and prostheses. She enlivens her instruction with personal anecdotes from her work on Broadway, television, and films with notables George C. Scott, Rip Torn, Maureen Stapleton, and Joseph Papp.

Romania. Daily life, unfortunately.

Just grotesque! And arabesque, too.

You can't say we are a stupid people, or poor. No, not us, maybe the others! But, that's fatality, that was our geographical position, our history, our thiefs= leaders, blah-blah.

Too bad, I've seen some great plays at this National Theatre " Vasile Alecsandri " - Iasi.

I have a dream that one day... said once Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hmm.

For those who aren't romanians, or don't understand this language, in the right side of the pic, it is written CLOSED= iNCHiS... what a great hint. There is nobody home, it is closed ( that was the back door, OK? :)) ). This image portrays the left side, not necessary the back, of the theatre! In the interior, you can see some great design, I forgot what> painting or sculpture, from some famous french man.

Forever failure.

No special software editing! Just the marvelous non-white winter noon grey nuances!

Stage Makeup class. Assignment: Facial hair.
I suck at facial hair. Just putting it out there. Since I'm allergic to both latex and spirit gum, I had to use gloves and I couldn't put it on my face. Hence Pierre, the handman with a monocle. It was awful. The gloves were too big and the latex kept sticking to the glove and it was just terrible.
Class was also spent with me speaking in a terrible French accent while attempting to style my mustache. I later apologized to my peers.
