Happy April All!
The quickening time is definitely quick here!
I’m so sorry to have missed last month. (Patrons got this and so much more).
Even though I pulled each of these Theatre Oracle cards for the months just after Christmas, I’d planned on sending them to The Edge with some tailoring for y’all in two month chunks.
February had some surprises in store.
Around another excellent ConVocation, I also applied & auditioned for graduate school, got my conditional letter of acceptance, sent them all the necessary documentation, and received my unconditional letter of acceptance to start planning my move to the UK for fall semester.
As all that took up a lot of time, as did dressing Hamilton for three weeks, and compiling Magical Mystery Care Packages to help downsize & cover my unplanned MFA. To make up for missing March, next week I’ll be sharing a retrospective.
Meaning, I’ll look at what was predicted for March and review how it landed and if any new layers of the card come to light with hindsight being 20/20.
But looking forward to April 2024, or whenever this crosses your path, we were given: Wardrobe
Dress for success.
Dress for the part you’re playing.
Dress how “they’re” expecting you to dress.
Do not dress how “they’re” expecting you to dress.
In this picture a wardrobe dresser (like what I was doing last month for Hamilton) is inspecting a garment. Looking for anything that needs repair so that it can be fixed while it’s a quick easy stitch on the seam, or securement of a fastener that only takes a few minutes to remedy. Rather than wait for it to become a huge hole that needs to be patched or a costume piece literally falling off in some fashion – on stage is rough, from personal experience – when that button or snap fails.
This too is a team effort, though we only see one human in this image.
Wardrobe checks daily when steaming & cleaning.
The performer wearing the costume notices their clothing and brings things to their dresser’s – or whomever is in charge of the stitching’s – attention. Even if it’s something they can’t find.
“I heard something rip during that number,” the dancer said as clothes flew off, falling partly in partly out of the big green holed laundry basket. Helping them dive into their next costume, I made a mental note to check these garments before hanging them up. I’ll leave them in the discard basket until I have a break, I thought & planned while my body automatically knelt down to fasten shoes while the dancer fastened their pants, threw up their hair and added lipstick for their next character.
April may be an excellent month to intentionally inspect the parts of the world we contact, see where the holes are, what needs to be repaired, and do the work to make the repair.
I’m also making an assumption here: that the garment being worn is important. That it’s in the show.
What if it’s not? What if the literal or metaphorical garment in question isn’t actually important and taking the time & resources to fix it aren’t a b.e.s.t. use of resources? Maybe that’s a decision for you to make – if we’re looking at your literal wardrobe, it definitely is. Spring closet purge! I know I’ve already started that in preparation for moving outside London.
But if we’re looking at something that is worn by someone else, cared for by someone else, designed by someone else, then the power dynamic is completely different.
Handling distressed by design costumes is challenging for a local. Is that a new hole? Or designed to be there? How stained is too stained? How much falling off is actually bad? Especially that first day, when you’re handling all the costumes for the first time, learning a new to you track, and doing a show with 3000 in the audience that night, it’s A LOT.
So, find a moment to shut out part of the outside stimuli and get really specific with one piece in question.
Find your center and delicate, curious, loving touch.
Also, there are 4 things in this image that make a number 4 in their placement. (I wish I had circled what I meant when I wrote this as looking at the card today, I see the 4 legs of the upside down stool (1) that there are 4 prominent objects: the stool, the garment, the bag, & the chair (2) I kinda see a “4” in the shape of the hanging scarf & dress (3) but what was the 4th??? Do you see it??? Let me know in the comments.)
Maybe 4’s will have extra meaning in April our 4th month.
