Weekly Vocabulary
Wig Designer- The hair & wig designer transforms the actors into their characters through the use of hair and wigs. HAIR & WIG DESIGNERS develop the look and style for each character’s hair (including facial and body hair) that will help convey the show’s time, location, and the character’s personality.
Here is a 3ish video on making over 60 wigs for a Ballet of Cinderella. These are not your store-bought wigs that are styled, these are custom made, hand sewing each strand of hair for every dancer. It is impressive.
