As our devised piece is set in the 1930's we need to research the hair styles from that time period.
Men- As you can see from the photos below the hair style back in the 1930's is a very simple yet a very smart slicked back to one side style. This look will be easily achieved, no matter what length your hair it will probably be very possible that you would be able to get this look and I know for sure my other group members will be able to achieve this look. The second photo shows some facial hair, obviously he only has a moustache and the is clean shaven on the rest of the face, this looks could easily be achieved with make up if needed or a fake moustache as no one in my group would be able to grow this moustache.
Women- Even though the majority of the research I did showed that the style for 1930's women was short and either curly or finger waved the girl in my group does not have short hair so I tried to find some photos with long haired hair styles, clearly these photos weren't taken in the 1930's they were probably people creating 1930's inspired hair styles, this is helpful as it still is quite clear what time period its from but it allows our female to have long hair. The first photo is something I hope we could achieve with our girl but none of us are hair stylists so it may be difficult, the main thing we want is for her to have her hair off her face so we can clearly see any facial expressions during the performance, we may decide to have her hair in a simple pony tail but we do need to have her hair free at the back as in one scene she gets dragged across the floor by her hair. The second photo looks very similar to the first photo but the first photo seems to have a finger waved front where as the second photo seems to have a very small victory roll front, both styles show the hair going backwards off the face.
Another thing about these photos we can gather about 1930's style is the make up, very simple yet elegant and beautiful, something I'm sure our girl could achieve.
