The texture of fabric has an intuitive performance for the effect of stage performance. In the stage costume design, the fabrics of costume texture are mainly divided into textile fabrics and non-textile fabrics. Fabric with different texture has certain differences in clothing texture, shape, hardness, color and so on. Clothing fabrics in stage costume design mainly include cotton, yarn, hemp, chemical fiber, satin, silk, leather and so on. Diversified fabrics have different uses in stage costume design.
First of all, soft fabrics represented by silk and satin. It has the characteristics of lightness, good drape, smooth modeling lines and natural stretching of clothing outline, and is suitable for actors who need to complete high-intensity body dance movements in stage performances, such as acrobatics and splits. It not only improves the effect of stage performance, but also ensures that stage actors can show difficult technical movements on the stage with more comfortable and convenient clothing fabrics; Secondly, cool clothing fabrics, such as cotton and chemical fiber fabrics, have the characteristics of clear lines and a sense of volume, and can form a full clothing outline, which is suitable for the design of suits and suits in stage clothing design [3]; Finally, the heavy fabric represented by woolen fabric can produce stable modeling effect and has the advantage of body expansion, which is suitable for A-type and H-type design modeling. There are also transparent fabrics represented by yarn and silk. It has a light, transparent, elegant and mysterious artistic effect. Designers should choose suitable clothing fabrics according to the different effects represented by the texture of different fabrics and the needs of stage performances.
2. Matching of fabric modeling
In the stage performance, in addition to clothing can bring the first visual experience to the audience, the modeling of the stage performance also has an important impact on the visual experience of the audience. When designing stage costumes, we need to focus on the collocation of stage costumes and stage modeling. Clothing modeling has an important influence on the choice of clothing fabrics. Harmonious stage costume modeling can enhance the aesthetic effect of the stage, enhance the expressive force of the stage, deepen the characterization of the characters and highlight the core content of the performance. Therefore, attention should be paid to the choice of clothing fabrics and the collocation of fabric shapes in the stage costume design.
Generally speaking, there are many kinds of stage performances, mainly opera, stage play, party celebration, etc., so we should choose the appropriate clothing fabric according to the theme and effect of stage performances. For example, the modeling design of traditional Chinese opera performance is different from other stage types and has strong uniqueness, which requires combining the modeling characteristics of different types of traditional Chinese operas and the personality characteristics and attributes of actors to distinguish the choice of clothing fabrics; Because the drama performance is closer to the reality of life, the clothing fabric of the drama performance pays more attention to the fabric of life, thus enhancing the authenticity of the drama performance and inspiring the audience's emotions.
3. Selection of fabric color
Different colors of clothing fabrics present different stage effects, and attention should be paid to the choice of fabric colors. The collocation of costume colors can keep the coordination of stage performance, create a good performance atmosphere and strengthen the artistic effect of stage performance. Therefore, it is necessary to combine the needs of the theme and role of the stage performance, choose the appropriate clothing color, and enrich the expression form of the stage performance content by adding the corresponding pattern design.
For example, ancient emperors usually used yellow silk fabrics to symbolize majesty, sacredness and light; White gauze fabric clothing has a pure, ethereal and fresh feeling; Black cotton and linen fabrics have a solemn, dull and serious stage effect. And color can also expand and shrink the performance effect of the stage. The costume design of the stage is mainly for the actors themselves, which has the function of foil and decoration. Therefore, according to the shape and role of the stage actors themselves, you can choose light-colored clothing fabrics that represent the sense of expansion and tension, or you can choose dark-colored clothing fabrics that represent the sense of contraction and seriousness.
4. Optical effect of fabric
In the actual stage performance of drama, in order to present the best stage effect, in addition to rich stage costume design colors, diversified stage lighting is also needed. Stage lighting can not only effectively render the atmosphere of stage performance, but also beautify the costume design of stage performance. Therefore, fashion designers should fully combine the transformation of stage lighting, choose appropriate clothing fabrics, and make the stage clothing design and stage lighting fully integrated.
In order to better reflect the characteristics of stage costume design, it is necessary to choose light-absorbing clothing fabrics, such as cotton, silk, satin, hemp and so on, and make full use of the optical and physical effects of color, such as: the color will be more vivid under the same color light; White silk fabric can change color under any light; Green clothes will turn black under red light, and blue clothes will turn green under yellow light. Strengthen the organic combination of lighting and clothing, complement each other, so as to present the best stage performance.
