Photos of Fabric In Action

We posted previously about what fabric is like for actors to work with, as well as some of the benefits of using fabric. Specifically, we had some sketches demonstrating what light can do when projected on a figure, and casting a shadow on the fabric to create a split-screen effect. Below are some photographs from out Tell-Tale Heart rehearsal to give you a clearer picture.

Ensemble member Rose works while Christian, Judy, and Kenideigh create another scene, this one of murder.

Kenideigh menacing Judy, and Judy menacing Kenideigh as Brandon holds the fabric taut.

The impending death of the old man (Christian) with the vulture's eye.

The death of the murderer (Rose).

In this shot, we have a contrast of light, as compared to the last shot. Which looks more ominous to you?

The deaths of others on execution day (Kenideigh and Judy).

This is one of my favorites, just because it give you, the casual (or not so casual) observer a good view of the fabric, the shadows, the light source, as well as the figures behind the fabric.
