Thread: Halloweeny/Skeleton acts xx

Hi everyone!

I'm in the middle of developing my first act (it/I need a lot of work beforehand - but a girl can dream) which has a skeleton theme to it, I wondered if anyone knew of any acts that involved skeletons... I don't want to be stepping on anyone's toes!

My idea's fairly straightforward, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't too similar to anyone else's before I got too invested in it. I did a quick search not really knowing where to look, and didn't come up with much.

Thanks so much for your help!

The only skeletony act I can think of that I've come across is Cherry Deville- It's a Day of the Dead theme and I think she has bones painted on her but I haven't actually seen the act, just pictures, but you might want to have a peep. xx

I do a jack skellington act x

I use a sugar skull mask in my Dia De Los Muertos act, but it's not very skeleton-y apart from that.

I do a Day of the Dead themed act about a lucha libre who brings his dead lover back to life.

I'm working on zombie, vampire, werewolf and skeleton themed costumes but mainly with the intention of compering a Hallowe'en show rather than performing.

I too will be trying to avoid treading on any toes (or tarsals - see?) especially of anyone who may be performing on the night - hence so many works-in-progress at once!

B.B.B. xx

Hmm... I can't see that anyone's doing anything quite like mine - I'm going to start making the costume for fun anyway! I'll see how it all goes x

There are photos of my act and costume in my profile photo albums, although sadly none of my masked assistant!

That makeup's brill! How long does it take you? x

Thanks! I did it in about 15 minutes tops. Steady hand and plenty of practise drawing skulls (art student) I wanted to spend much longer on it, but a performer pulled out the lineup so my act got moved up the bill meaning I was pressed for time getting ready! My inspiration came from Sylvia Ji's fantastic art work.
