If you are familiar with Cirque Du Soliel, you are most likely familiar with our artists work.
Our artists specialize in theatrical makeup and are proficient in character study and creation. Whether the production requires Special FX makeup, wig design, or simple stage makeup, you’re in great hands. The precision of artistry that goes into each individual application will astonish you. The beauty of theatre always has been about the elements of each character.
Our teams of artists research extensively all facets of a character. The age of the characters, the setting and time period of the production affect the way actors and actresses should appear. Even the lighting is important when deciding what makeup to use. Our makeup artists research the hair, make up, and clothing styles of specific time periods. Then they draw sketches or collect photos to show the designs they have in mind.
Sometimes they make prosthetic devices. These items are used to change the appearance of performers. For example, artists might create a beard for an actor, or fleshy face parts to make him look older. Makeup Artists and Hairstylists also consult with directors and technicians about their ideas and designs at various stages of the process. Kaptain & Co. Artists are a great fixture backstage of your theatre or opera production.
