Part 5/7:
Discovering the "Bad Girl"
This particular performance represents a departure from the actor's previous roles, marking their first foray into playing a "bad girl." The initial anxiety about embracing this new character was quickly dispelled upon donning the character's costume. The fitting of a pencil skirt and pixie wig acted almost like a magic spell, allowing the actor to step into the shoes of Rizzo, a complicated and multifaceted character. This metamorphosis illustrates how costumes allow performers to transcend their own identities, adopting the nuances of the characters they're portraying.
