 "Makeup for the stage and theatre is interesting, fun, inspiring
and on opening night, very exciting! I love working with so many
different types of makeup, and collaborating with costume designers,
actors and directors
to develop the final makeup designs that appear on stage.
I can transform
a person into a variety of different identities. I have done everything
from basic beauty makeup for men and women
- to stage characters - to colorful stylized fantasy makeup
designs and body
tattoos. I have always been fascinated with special effects, and
completely enjoy when I work on a show that requires skills such
as ageing a character
from mid-life to a very old age or, adding scars, cuts, slashes,
bruises and wounds.
Since it is common practice for many equity
stage actors and actresses to be responsible for applying their
own makeup, I often work closely
with the actors by teaching them how to apply their own makeup
professionally to portray their specific character for the show
run. Some of my
favorite
classic stage characters to apply makeup for are: Dracula, Geisha,
Bride of Frankenstein, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Blue Man
Group." - Ann
