Looking the Part: Creating Character with Make-up
With Samantha Rumball

Sunday, March 15th, 2009 - Morning Session: 10:00 – 1:00, Afternoon Session 1:30 – 4:30

This Workshop is NOW available as either a half-day, or as a full day program. Register for just the morning, and get your first blush with the basics, just the afternoon if you’re a seasoned pro with a firm foundation, or both for a make-up packed day!

SYNOPSIS:
The morning session will lead participants through basic make-up application for theatre, and common character effects - all you need to know to create basic effects in Theatre! The afternoon session will explore more advanced make-up techniques, including using make-up to develop character.

PRESENTER:
Samantha Rumball was trained in Make-up and Costumes at Niagra College, and in the Wig and Make-up Training program at the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto. After completing her studies, she stayed with the Canadian Opera Company as the Wig and Makeup Department Assistant, lending her talent to many well known productions. At 24, Samantha took the opportunity to travel with the beloved musical “Phantom of the Opera”, touring around Canada and the world. Now at home in Calgary, she has successfully pursued a career in Film and Television for the past 10 years. Samantha still enjoys lending her talent to the Calgary Opera in both make-up and wigs whenever she can.
