ABSTRACT
Read the Script Reading the script is the first thing a designer does in the design process. Ideally, I like to read the script three times before meeting with the director and design team. Each read through focuses on different things:
First read through: get the feel of the script, the plot, and the mood of the piece. Even though this read through doesn’t focus on costumes, mark or highlight any part of the script or stage directions referring to costume items. For example, if someone asks the time, then someone is probably wearing a watch.
