Special Effects Make Up - Morning/Afternoon

In this workshop, learn how to create special effects with stage make-up. The emphasis this year will be on creating the illusion of gross and disgusting wounds and bruises.

On stage, one’s features must be clearly visible to everyone sitting in the theater, even the people in the very back row. Many people don’t know the correct technique to apply make-up that will look good from 30 feet away, especially when it comes to exaggerated facial features.

Both male and female actors use basic stage make-up techniques to enhance their natural features, correct or diminish other features, and change their appearance. Often, a role calls for “character” makeup, such as stylized fairies, zombies, animals, or a look of old age. Makeup can accomplish all of these looks and many more.

You will need a T shirt you don’t mind getting dirty, and a great sense of humor.
