Going Into Public Dressed As Locaha

After I had finishing performing 'Nation', I walked up a long road called Streatham High Road with my mother and friend. I must say the looks and comments I got were hilarious! I think what stunned people the most was my face makeup:



I took inspiration from other face makeup designs that I browsed on the internet. I wanted to look as weird and abstract as possible whilst making it look subtle and not too over the top. Seeing people's reactions outside made me believe that I had achieved my aim: to differentiate myself from other characters to really highlight my role of being death. People on the street said I looked "scary" and "scary" is exactly what I wanted to look like! 

If I could have improved my costume, I would have done some art on the rest of my body and not just on my face to make me look more abstract. I would have experimented with different designs whilst also baring in mind not to go too over the top. My aim whilst being Locaha was to contrast against who I am as much as possible through my facial designs as well as my voice and body language. I believe the face designs helped me to achieve this. Nonetheless, I would have done more designs to experiment in more detail.
