Diva Opera tour – France, August 2009

So where have I got to? I’ve done May’s black shirts, June’s Bridesmaid’s dresses, July’s Flamenco costumes, AHA!

August (D’oh!).

Throughout August I was on tour in France with Diva Opera  www.DivaOpera.com. I took June and July off for the wedding, honeymoon and moving house. Lucky me

I’ve not got any photos but to give you an idea of what we do here is another little video courtesy of the Festival de Vezere. This was the local TV News coverage of th festival in 2008, try not to blink and you might spot me ironing away.

Flamenco costumes – Worstead Festival July ’09

 

We got back from Honeymoon at the beginning of July so had a little time to do some decorating before I started work on making costumes and rehearsing for a Flamenco performance at the Worstead Festival.
Yes I dance too, I have a lot of strings to my bow. http://www.worsteadfestival.org/

We tried a new thing this year and had a bit of storyline, I’m not sure how well it worked out in the open.
We were two rival Gyspy gangs begin troubled by the Guardia.

I based the costumes on Zorro the Musical which we all went to see in December: http://www.zorrothemusical.com/photography.html

I managed to use up lots of fabric that I have been hoarding for years, marvellous! I’m quite pleased with how they turned out although it would have been nice to have broken them down a bit.

Here they all are (I’m in the blue):
