Cymbeline Film Noir Version

Here are production photos from BYU's film noir version of Shakespeare's Cymbeline, which toured to older elementary schools in winter 2014. I worked on the costumes in this show as the costume crafts supervisor. The costumes were designed by Julie Adams. Several actors play multiple roles, and children were taken from the audience to perform other parts.
I put dance rubber on and repaired the shoes, polished and redyed shoes, I steamed and shaped fedoras, repaired jewelry, I also did plenty of other repairs, tailoring and odds and ends that needed to be done.
I also ended up getting to work on the set for this because they are just cloth backdrops, so I serged the ends of the fabric and made pockets for the poles to go through.
I labeled, washed, and ironed the costumes throughout the course of the show as well, working as the wardrobe supervisor at the BYU Costume Shop on top of my usual duties as the costume crafts supervisor.







 




 
 


Admire the lovely fedoras I steamed and blocked into shape.
