On June 12th we have a little soiree for TITANIA. If you're in NYC and would like to come - let me know!
After that, the next order of business is to take some "official" photos. The image below has always been a major source of inspiration for the TITANIA poster. It's Gustave Dore's "Virtues". Titania has three maidens, sort of like the three graces or muses. Our costume designer, Bobbi Ribbing, has come up with some sketches for the dresses and I thought I'd share. They will be a pale blue - which will show up nicely against the green trees and bright sunlight and blonde hair of the actresses.
The maidens are so interesting to me. In the first film they are named Artemesia, Miranda, and Cassandra. (after the painter, the Tempest, and Agamemnon - respectively) They are more than dressers or servants - each has her own story and journey to be revealed in the trilogy. At times they mirror the life that Titania is living, and at times antagonize it. They help her and seek out her help. And we've just added the character of Hippolyta and her maidens. There is one scene in which the two queens and their maidens meet. We cast for Hippolyta tomorrow and I'm very excited to see what new person will come aboard the project!
I'll post the official photos after we take them this summer. ~Lisa
