To get a clear understanding of what we are undertaking, we contacted the youth theatre Razzamataz asking for a list of characters so that we may delegate responsibilities to each of the members in the group. I chose to design and create the grass head dresses, Zazu's costume/ puppet and the Mufasa head.
The grass head dress and costume design were based on a traditional African patterns and colours. However the shape of the garments have been taken from different parts of the world such as the harem trousers which are from the Middle East. The beaded corset, neck piece and head dress are very African. The head dress is designed to look like a sun set and is supported with the fading colours starting from the bottom (earthy black) to the top (bright yellow and orange) the costume becomes part of the set as well as part of the actor.
