Disney's 'Jungle Book' at White Rock School (Paignton, Devon) - April 2008
White Rock School recently put on a production of Disney's 'Jungle Book'.
As this was a musical version, the chorus were on stage all the time so
it was decided to make them part of the cast as a 'living jungle' backdrop!
The chorus children were paired up (two casts) and provided with a basic tunic. They were then asked to design a jungle plant theme for it.
Using material shapes and foliage from a selection ordered from GT Decorations,
they then used lesson time or took them home to sew or stick (firmly!) their
selection onto the tunics. By using a random selection on each costume the
jungle effect was well blended and this was enhanced by the use of
yellow lilies
and large
philodendron leaves which helped to combine the overall effect.
The children added brown or green tights and topped off their costumes using
trailing foliage or clusters of leaves from the GT Decorations selection.
The costumes looked stunning!
Sadly we cannot show the children wearing their costumes, but hope that these photos give a flavour of the costume designs.
GT Decorations were very helpful, prompt and efficient in dealing with the two orders we sent them. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to any other schools or organisations considering putting on a production with similar costume or props requirements.
