THE USE OF SPECIAL EFFECT MAKEUP AS A TOOL OF REALISM ON STAGE

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  1. Background of the study

Theatrical makeup can be defined as the makeup that is used to assist in creating the appearance of the characters, that actors portray during a theatre production. Theatrical makeup is the practice of painting, enhancing or altering the face, hair and body of the actor with cosmetics, plastic materials and several other substances; it is also the collective term for the materials used in making up. For a pretty long time now, actors have been using makeup in the theatre not only to look their best and to change their appearance but also to ensure the fact that they will be seen and recognised by the entire audience. The aim of theatrical makeup is to delineate and enhance the role of a character and to give performers an additional tool for conveying the characters being performed. Advancement in stage lighting technology has led to the evolvement of stage makeup beyond one overall face colour to a multidimensional craft.

HISTORY OF THEATRICAL MAKEUP :

It is quite impossible to stress back to the day in history, when the first actor daubed paint on his face in an attempt to make his performance more convincing. Generally, it is believed that Thespis, the first actor to step out of the chorus in Greek theater in the 6th century BCE, was the foremost to apply white lead and wine to paint his face. However, the very large size of some of the Greek and Roman theatres made the use of masks more appropriate and practical. These masks allowed the actors to enact more than one role and their larger-than-life size and exaggerated features also enabled the audience to identify the actor’s role from a distance. In 17th century Europe, actors started performing in permanent theaters in the proscenium stage and thus they had to deal with the challenge of making the face look distinctive in the light from oil lamps and candles. It is most likely that from that time onwards, the actors adapted the cosmetics of fashionable women to their own use. The use of cosmetics increased greatly during 18th century. The practice of makeup in western theatre changed largely with the world war II. Now stage was thrust into the auditorium and the audience sat on all sides of the acting area, making close scrutiny possible. Thus, makeup became more subtle and real. Closer home in Bengali theatre, Noti Binodini, the first star performer of Bengali theatre brought a great change in theatrical makeup. She was a pioneering, entrepreneur of the bengali stage and introduced modern techniques of stage makeup,  through blending European and indigenous styles.

IMPORTANCE OF MAKEUP IN THEATRE :

Costumes and makeup are integral part of drama and most theatre productions are incomplete without the addition of these two factors. Makeup plays  a vital role in the drama, character creation and visual aesthetic.

• Character building – Good makeup gives the audience key information about a character at first sight. It also reflects the mood of the actor. This enhances the story-telling and realism of the play.

• Gives an idea of the setting of the play- Makeup along with costumes, are chief indicator of the time and place of the play. Costumes, makeup and hairstyle must be coordinated to match the setting of the play, specially if it’s a period drama.

• Helps actors to get into skin of the characters – Makeup serves a crucial purpose for the actors, too. The primary work that they need to do to give life  to their characters is obviously done during weeks of rehearsal and individual practice ; but makeup helps in the process nonetheless. Seeing themselves visually transformed into a character helps them to get into the skin of the character.

• Visual effects – Beside setting and character,  makeup plays an important role in visibility and aesthetic. It is necessary to ensure that the features of an actor’s face are easy to see and don’t get ” washed out ” by the bright stage lights. It also makes the play aesthetically appealing.
