Production role - Costume

Autumn colour dyes (browns oranges) - this is what we used to dye the boiler suits for the choruses
Peacock colours for royals - blue purple green


Chorus: We are going to be wearing disposable boiler suits which me and Livvie have dyed browns and oranges. This shows how they are the lowest in the hierarchy, with no power or say in decisions. They will also have dark material as a headscarf to hide all hair The fact they are all matching takes away any sort of identity in the individuals.

Royals: Peacock colours (blues/greens/purples). These are seen as royal colours, particularly purple. The colour green symbolises 'Victory' which would fit the context also.

We bought some blue curtain material to use for making sashes for some of the royal family including Creon and Haemon.

Antigone is wearing a white dress, which could symbolise the foreshadowing of her death as angels are usually depicted in white. This also distances herself from her royal family.

Me and Emily as the guards will wear army jackets with black leggings and shoes.
