Once upon a time, I was invited to dance in a show at a venue I’ve never been to before. \u00a0I figured, I’ll wear something simple and easy. \u00a0I didn’t stop to think about the potential environment, and choose a costume that was completely black to make some tribal jewelry really pop. \u00a0Well – I arrived to discover venue featured a tiny black-box style theater with minimal golden top light and one big spot. Then I remembered the old axiom of the entertainment world. When in doubt about the venue, don’t wear black! \u00a0While restaurants are filled with different colors, textures, if you’re dancing in a theatrical environment, the odds of dancing on a black stage with black curtains is very high.\u00a0Many small theaters use deep flat black for its neutral, non-distracting environment that is affordable to keep up. \u00a0 I did the show, and got some great photos of myself, if I like floating head shots. \u00a0Perhaps my life lesson remembered will help you choose your costumes with better results!<\/p>\n

Happy Costuming!
