As special projects draper for this production, I was responsible for creating body padding for 3 characters. The padding I created needed to look, feel and function as if they were part of the body itself while not being too heavy or in any way hinder the actors ability to dance. The complexity of the situation was also exacerbated by the need for a one-minute head to toe quick change removing the padding. I resolved the issue by creating a spandex base and used reticulated foam sewn together strategically to allow the body to move where it naturally moves.
