The vulture actors could wear a costume like this black clothes, a white puffy necklace, and a hat with paper eyes and beak.

As a costume idea for shanti its just an a

Idea for mabye a costume for shantiso if we do go with something like this i think that we could like use some left over stuff from a costume.

King Louie wears it during when it is his part. He has fruits on it.  i was thinking of making a cardboard crown with paper fruits and maybe paper flowers or real flowers.

I think that it would be cool to have the vultures in plague masks, because they prey on sick and dying people, and plague doctors also circle dying people. This would take a lot of time and materials, so it wouldn’t be the most practical idea, but it would be cool.

The “bees” can use the puppets to represent the bees that buzz around.

the wolves can where this with grey clothes

It's a nice out look for one of the wolves costume I think that we could maybe use leather  or little felt strips.

As baloo's costume, along with a baggy brown shirt and pants(these can be owned by the performer) would go along with his costume too.  Bear ears and tail can be bought, or made. We can sew the ears and tail, and stuffed with shredded recycled paper. We can purchase a set of face paints to paint all of the characters necessary(including Baloo).

Shanti reminds me of a bird, the way she flits in and out of the story, and I think I want to draw that parallel, and have her wearing earrings and a feather necklace. This isn’t necessary, but I think it would be cool do make that connection.

It will be used as a costume for the actor who plays sharekhan  and can maybe help with some scenes where he interrogates Kaa.

When the monkey's tail is lit on fire. This photo is of a product, but we can simply wrap tissue around a light bulb and possibly a fan underneath. We can put velcro on the tail and on the “fire” to make it stick on quickly and easily.

When king louie says "well cousin have a banana" he should pass it to mowgli

As the jungle background. A painting would be easy to make rather than 3d trees.We can hang a painted sheet or blanket, or hang up painted cardboard or wood. Maybe we could construct one tree out of recycled cardboard and paint as a structure for kaa to climb.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it would be really cool if the monkeys used streamers for their numbers, and it would make the scene colorful and slightly confusing, which it needs to be for Mowgli to be captured and later escape. I would also be easy for Baloo to join them, because he can just grab a streamer and join in. He can get tangled and it would be easy to lose. We could also reuse them to decorate the school dance.

Mowgli’s costume. The jacket will be used if the performer in uncomfortable with taking off their shirt. It can be a plain vest donated by someone and faux feathers and leaves glued on. Also, I think Mowgli should go barefoot to show a more jungley look. The bottom can be a small blanket or scarf simply tied around the waist(with shorts underneath).

# data[].attributes.body
As a hat for the elephants. It will be the most important part of the costume for them because it will tell the audience what character the elephants are. Grey white or black clothes owned personally by the performer can be use on the body. The hat and trunk can be paper mached or sewn and painted.

Whenever Kaa the snake enters we could rattle the Maracas because it sounds like a snake slithering and rattling. The person using them would not be seen.

# data[].attributes.body
This will be a set piece to represent Kaa the snake. It would be in a smaller scale, with maybe two people holding it. This could be an actor and a crewmember. It would have a snake head and a snake body. It would probably be made be creating hoops out of wire and attaching cloth to the edges to make the tube body. The head could be made out of chicken wire, papier mache, and paint. The sticks to be held could probably be made from bamboo sticks. This could probably be borrowed from what we have or from SEEQS families. The wire could probably be sourced from SEEQS families. The cloth could be a mixture of many scraps of cloth to give a scalelike feel. The papier mache could be made out of recycled paper and the pant from what we already have. Afterwards, the cloth could be donated to future art classes, the papier mache recycled, and the wire given back.

When mowgli is getting hypnotized by kaa the snake. We could take white paper and cut it in a circle and red lines in a spiral on it and tape it to the glassesso when someone puts on the glasses it looks like they a getting hypnotized. So when Kaa is going around mowgli to hypnotize him he can put the glasses on.

For monkeys costume. I think this costume will be good because it is easy to do do and all you need to make is the head the rest is just wearing brown close. Also there of not a lot of close so the actor won´t be hot well he/she is acting! We could maybe add some face paint!

# data[].attributes.body
Bush: it will be in the background. It is super easy to make by just using tissue paper, since is easy to make we could make a lot and scatter them all over the stage, some big and some small. As you see in the picture we could use all different colors which will make a more realistic effect for the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
When it is night time i think it would be really cool to use a white balloon for a moon. First it would be so easy to do, it is super cheap and all you have to do to set it up is blow it up. We could put a longer string on the balloon string so when we have to put it up we just tie it to a bar or log. We could use fishing line so no one could see it. If we wanted to we could even put some kind of light inside it so it will have a glow effect. Finally we could maybe even use the balloon for a sun to!

Cave: For when mowgli is living with the wolves and it could be a place for the wolves to sleep.The cave can be made out of paper mache.Rocks:  we should also make some rocks to be used throughout the whole play

This can be another way to make the costume for Kaa.  Instead of making a puppet, we can go under it.  One student can operate the head, and a few others can be the tail for Kaa.

We can make this out of cardboard.  We can try and cut out shapes of jungle trees.  Then we can paint it the color of trees.  We can  put them in the back by the backdrop.

# data[].attributes.body
This will be used as shanti’s net.  This is  artificial vines.  We can make it turn into a shape of a net.

# data[].attributes.body
We can cut tropical plants with large leaves in buckets with water.  We can wrap brown paper around the bucket.  It would be put on the corners of the stage.  This will help the set look more jungle like.

They can also be used as jungle obstacles on page 61 of the script

# data[].attributes.body
Actors playing the jungle could wear this.  We can make this by having all brown clothes.  Also, we can use paper to make the leaves, and head and wristbands to support the paper leaves.

# data[].attributes.body
We can make Kaa out of paper mache, and maybe some blankets.  Kaa should be a puppet, a very long puppet operated with sticks.  But we might need a lot of actors.

# data[].attributes.body
Trees:Jungle trees can be  in the background during the whole play. We can paint trees on wood for some of the set design. We can also do a few paper mache trees , like the one in this picture

# data[].attributes.body
Mowgli costume,the reason it is long is so whoever is mowgli won´t feel uncomfortable, and also we could just cut some pants or find brown sorts which will be easy.  If mowgli was a girl actor she could just put on a brown shirt.

This should be used as king louie’s crown.  We can use fake fruits out of paper mache.  For instance, we can make bananas out of  paper mache and attach them to a headband, or join them together to make a crown.

# data[].attributes.body
This will be used as background scene when the jungle is introduced.  Also when the setting is in the jungle.  If we have a small stage, we can use this as a scroll.  We can unroll it as the jungle would be introduced.  When that happens, we will start to sing and we can come on stage.  To make this, we can draw the outlines of the picture and then paint it.

Same as baloo’s costume design but with fluff on the outside add cardboard ears and maybe face paint.

Each of the thistle, banyan, and lotus will get an umbrella. This one specifically is for the lotus. It is made from a pink paper umbrella, which would probably have to be bought. Then, using paper and glue, the lotus is created. The banyan will have a green umbrella (probably also having to be bought) with banyan roots hanging down. The banyan roots will probably be made from paper mache and paint, and attached with hot glue. The thistle will have another green umbrella with a purple puffball on top. The puffball could be made from fabric, maybe the same one Shanti’s saree is made from. This is probably not the most sustainable idea, because everything but the atual umbrellas will be thrown away. The umbrellas would then wait in storage for someone else to use them, or be given away. But, I think it might be worth it because I know the role of a tree can be kind of undignifying. I feel like these would elevate their character a lot and help them feel more confident.

# data[].attributes.body
I think all characters should have bare feet. This will make “shoes” more universal and we won’t have to worry about that. That was a big concern last year in To 🤬 A Mockingbird. It will make more sense here too, because they are in a jungle, and many are animals. I think it would give a more carefree feel to all the costumes. I understand people uncomfortable with this and the concern of safety. If you really don’t want to, you could wear modest, subdued shoes. For safety, we just have to be a little bit more aware and everything will be fine.

These will be used as costume/props by the vultures. In the play, they seem to have a dignity of a kind. They seem to feel very above Mowgli. So I wanted them to to be snooty and over-the-top. They should titter these and look disgusted a lot. The ideal situation would be to borrow these and return them. If that isn’t possible, we could make them from large feathers bought from the craft store. These can be kept and reused, or dismantled and used as art supplies. Using these will give us the ability to make the rest of the costume more simple, and therefore use less materials.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of weaving together a bunch of vines that we pick, it would be a lot easier to have a net that we can grow vines on so that it looks natural. We can use the vines near the fences a grow vines. Since vines can grow up to 30 feet in a few months, we should be able to make it in a few months of prep.

# data[].attributes.body
Shanti will carry this when she finally greets Mowgli. It will add interest to her costume and show her character has responsibility in her village. We will try to borrow this jug from SEEQs families. The jug can also be made from metal, according to whatever can be borrowed. After the performances, it can be returned.

# data[].attributes.body
There is going to be little black pieces on a clear thread. It will lay under a rock leading off stage so that when Baloo flips over the rock, somebody off stage will pull the strings so that the ants look like their moving.

# data[].attributes.body
The turbans will be used to differentiate characters. Perhaps a golden turban for Shere Khan, pink for Baloo, grey for elephants, red for colonel Hathi, and blue for Bagheera. The colors can be changed according to the colors that are able to be donated. We can try to get large pieces of fabric donated, or if necessary, bought and reused. According to the website, the turban, called safa, “ is considered as a symbol of pride and honor for men” in the Madhya Pradesh culture, where The Jungle Book originates. So, we will respect their culture as we make and wear these. The turban can be tweaked if the actors are female (or maybe not.)

# data[].attributes.body
It will be used as a more modest Mowgli costume so the actor can feel more comfortable. It’s not very realistic for a boy from the jungle, but I wanted the theme to be Indian, and this gives me that feeling. The pants are also what I imagine as Mowgli’s “signature” pant color, even though it is usually red. The pants may be difficult to make. They could be looked for to buy, but may be difficult to find for cheap. It may be simplified for easier sewing. If it is possible to source these pants, they can be reused, donated, or the fabric can be dismantled for future projects in art or EQS. The shirt can be a personal costume piece, or bought for fairly cheap and reused in the same way as the pants.

The cane is basically a prop that the Old Monkey will walk with so just to show that he is older and probably wiser than the others. We can use any stick that has this form and use it as a prop.

# data[].attributes.body
Since it’s in the jungle, a stick will fit into the natural aspects of everything. I think that we’ll have to find a better stick than the image (it was the best one unblocked), but it would be the best option for a natural baton.

# data[].attributes.body
I was thinking that maybe we could have the man village in the background in the end scene so that mowgli and shanti have something to walk towards.

This is a play on Shanti’s costume in the movie, but with a saree style. The shirt can probably be used from the actors wardrobe, and doesn’t have to be a crop top. The saree part would be bought or borrowed, and doesn’t need to have all the embroidery and doesn’t have to be see-through. Afterwards, the pieces can be returned if borrowed, and bought pieces can be used in future art classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I was thinking it could either be fabric or a painting and it could be on the ground pretending to be the jungle floor. Although we would not be able to walk on it or interact with it most likely.

Shere khan will wear it as part of their costume to make them look more realistic. Also we could use face paint on some or all of the animals.

This will be used as fake rocks. Crumple up newspaper then put chicken wire around it and put concrete around it. You can also put moss on the rocks.
