Document Summary
Can"t just put something on stage without collaborating with scenic designer. All colors should tie together but not blend so that you can"t see anything. Want all people to look that they are from the same play. Leading player might be like others but somewhat contrasting: movement.

Not 100% necessary to be 100% historically accurate: contemporary or local appeal. Must be sexy in audience"s eyes: not necessarily same as sexy in designer"s pov, actor comfort. Actors can"t do good if their shoes hurt: character development, ex: an american in paris clip. White socks between black pants and shoes, we pay attention to his choreography. Main character wears all black, no one else in black. White collar, causes us to look at his face: ex: bridesmaids clip. Maya: same colors as background ppl.
