Fat Ass:

I have created the following costume sketch for your unbridled perusal.  (Ideas about the Color Palette for the Base Costumes and Accessories will follow anon.)  Please add/edit/delete and ponder.

Each actor will have 3 pieces:  hoodie, shirt, and cargo pants (except female actor who wears ¾ length skirt, ideally with pockets to unify with the cargo pants).

HOODIES
Five different colors unified by style (zippered, pocketed, somewhat form fitting)
Thematic purpose:  Protection, anonymity
Practicality:  Assist director, actors and audience in the transformation of different characters.

SHIRTS
Five different styles:  tank, v-neck, distressed, billowy (for woman) in five different colors.
Thematic purpose:  timeless masculinity, what lies beneath the armor of the Hoodie
Practicality:   If actors are wearing Hoodies, they should have something lighter underneath.

CARGO PANTS
Four different styles of cargo pants also unified by a color: Tan/ Beige/ Khaki/taupe or Heather gray, light gray, slate gray…as it can be argued that these color palettes are found in all the elements of nature: earth, wind, air, fire, and metal (more on these soon…exciting!)

Thematic purpose:  Masculine, military, archeological link to locale:
NB:  “Mesopotamia (from the Greek meaning “land between the rivers”) is an area geographically located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers commonly known as the ‘cradle of civilization‘.  Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires. In the Iron Age, it was ruled by the Neo-Assyrian Empire and Neo-Babylonian Empire, and later conquered by the Achaemenid Empire. It mostly remained under Persian rule until the 7th century Islamic conquest of the Sassanid Empire. Under the Caliphate, the region came to be known as Iraq.”
(Hm…where have I heard of Iraq lately?)

Practicality:  Pockets for props, drawstring legs can be used to transform into another character.
