First Fitting Ikenga

The first fitting for the Ikenga Puppet feature the trousers for the base costume and the first stage of the backpack. This fitting showed some important issues with the back pack that would need to be looked at before adding any structure to it.

Fitting Notes: 
Trousers
  1.  more fabric added around the bottom
  2. elastic cuffs at bottom. 
Back Pack
  1. Plastazote needs to be molded to the actors shape by heating the plastazote and shaping it to fit the curves of the actors back.
  2. Try taking the wood up to the small of the back to give better support
  3. Back Pack sits to low on actor, needs a way of staying lifted
  4. Top strap needs to be moved higher 
  5. Poles to come closer together, narrowing the wood where possible.
