Having a dress rehearsal really allowed me to engage with my character and weave together previous character work. For example, wearing my characters pencil skirt and blazer automatically made my stand up straighter, have a more powerful stance and made me feel a presence of power that wasn't previously as present as it now was.
My favourite part of my costume has to be the shoulder pads which scream 80's and really allow me to fit into the world we have created around the play. My outfit makes me feel like I could pretty much do anything. I find my body leading with it's chest and despite Angelo having more authority than the Provost, I find myself feeling as though my character is he one with true authority. Perhaps this is because within the play, it is the Provost who is unraveling their own plan in order to save Claudio.
