Chosen Scene- Act Two, Scene One

A short scene with limited dialogue, I have chosen Act Two, Scene One to focus my ideas for Emcee around. In this scene the Kit Kat girls enter to perform a song and it is not until Emcee speaks a line in a deliberately deep voice that we notice he is in the line up disguised as a woman.

I have chosen this scene because it shows just how effeminate Emcee is... He easily blends in with the Kit Kat girls and could therefore be modelled by a woman. I like the element of surprise in this scene, it shows that the character is truly multi-dimensional, making him exciting to design for.

In my mind's eye, I picture Emcee in a similar light to typically androgynous celebrities such as David Bowie and Boy George. Such is the similarity in traits that Bowie has been depicted by women in the past; notably Kate Moss and Tilda Swinton.

Swinton as Bowie.
