Advice wanted from costume designer / makeup artists / lighting technicians

A lad in sane productions next showing is a one act play as part of Blak Yak's one act season at Playlovers - September 2007. Our small contribution tells the story of two wooden puppets (played by two very human puppets). The play requires the puppets to remain motionless for the duration of the performance, (yeek!) with the one exception being they can move their head and speak (the obvious compromise). This challenging role will require the actors to ignore the discomfort of dead limbs, and to make great use of the dialogue and facial expression. My questions for those with experience in similar fields are: 1. What makeup would you suggest we use to hi-light facial expression (if any)? 2. Any tips on lighting, as per above. 3. Any other suggestions re costuming / lighting / set design most welcome. We have some ideas, but there's nothing wrong with seeking a second opinion. Please contact me on 9355 5591 or e-mail me at johnnygrim@optusnet.com.au. cheers Johnny Grim A lad in sane productions
