Hello Beauties!
So i do want to say thank you all for reading my blog, i'm glad there are some people out who do enjoy reading it which makes me very motivated to keep on blogging! So i was trying to think of what to write today and then i thought about what you should carry in your bag whilst your in a show! I of course do forget some essentials when frantically getting ready since lets be realistic they allow you one hour to get ready and that hour is being eaten up bu doing other things like warming up and the like. But if you dont want to be in a panic mode, here's some tips that could help!
So i usually dont like to carry a huge bag, maybe a more medium sized one. One that zips on the top so all your stuff doesn't fall out and has a fair amount of pockets. I'm considering creating a bag thats perfect for all of my stage stuff this summer then maybe ill sell in on etsy or something!
1. Always bring neutral undergarments, meaning tights, spankies, something that won't stand out underneath your costume because there will be times when lets say your costume is quite sheer and you wore bright neon underwear, that does not look good. Try finding neutrals that best match your skintone or have be really close to it. Also the tights will give your legs a flawless finish which looks lovely on stage.
2. Bring some breathmints, gum something to keep your breath fresh throughout the performance because you never know if you're gonna have to kiss or just be physically close with someone and you don't want to have rancid breath.
3. Bring a sweater, sweatshirt, something to keep you warm during those evening perfomances or if your eating something while in costume which you shouldnt do normally but we all do it, you have it to keep your costume protected.
4. WATER WATER WATER. I cannot tell you how many times I have forgotten to bring a bottle of water with me when i really needed. Throughout the course of the show you will become somewhat dehydrated because of all the energy and moving you do so you need to stay hydrated.
5. Your stage makeup kit is obviously very important.
6. Snacks are very important to bring because there may not be food where you perform so its always good to have some small snacks on hand like oranges or trailmix. Healthy snacks are ideal because they'll make you feel good inside and out and boost your immune system since its inevitable that at one point you will get sick during a run of the show in its entirety.
7. Like water, tea is another great option to have, green tea with honey and lemon which will help soothe your throat and voice.
Well I hope these tips help you when you need to pack a theatre bag when your on the go to your call. There are probably more items i'm forgetting about so feel free to comment down below!
Stay pretty my friends!
Cheers,
Christine
