This week I´ve been working on the set for Peter Pan. Below you can see part of the model. I´ve been working vey close with the director, throwing ideas at each other. It´s a very fun and creative way of working. Instead of sitting by yourself, thinking up things, you constantly get questions and new ideas building on your own. It´s especially nice, since the director, Runa, and I have worked close together as colleagues for many years before. Then we were both teachers, working with a theatre-class, now we are both professionals.
Our version of Peter Pan is slightly different from the movie-version. Instead of changing the set from the bedroom to the flight in the night to the rain-forrest to the cave to the cliff to the pirat-ship and then back again… we´ve made the shoe story take place in one room, which does´t really change all that much during the story. It´s all there from the beginning. So there are surreal elements, partly being inside, partly being outside, but imagination can make anything real, so why not?
The building of the set won´t start until after the summer. Once the carpenters have built the different elements, I´ll come back in and start the painting, plastering and distressing.
Så spennende! Er det en modell type “dukkehus” som er på bildet? Masse lykke til
This looks fantastic, Janne! How fun to be collaborating on this!
