Character Relationships 

Character Profiles/Design:

Amelia- As the piece is focusing on what Amelia sees and believes, her costume reflects her dream like state and how she, views herself within this dream world or 'Wonderland' Inspired by the cut of Alexander Mcqueen's autumn/winter 2012 collection. Her costume reflects her desire to change time- with the hourglass figure emphasised through a cage structure symbolising how Amelia is caged within her own thoughts. The colours of her costume and the piece as a whole are inspired by the impressionist artist Claude Monet and his Water Lilies studies and the photographer Tim Walker- in particular his Lady Grey image and The Year of the Dragon.

Jake- Amelia's 'Prince Charming'. Jake's costume is the anthesis of his character, outwardly portraying a self confident 'peacock' but inwardly lacking self esteem. The colouring of Jake's costume reflects this. Amelia sees and associates this within her 'Wonderland'. 
"Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in grey than in peacock bright." (Quote by - Van Wyck Brooks)  
Amelia sees a young attractive man, and does not necessarily delve deeper into his personality. 
"At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all". (Quote by - Balthasar Gracian)

Nicky- Amelia's best friend, who starts of quite out going and progressively withdraws into almost a cocoon. This is represented within her costume as it starts off extrovert and gradually conceals her; covering and enveloping. The colour blue, in particular Indigo turns the blue inwards to increase personal thought, profound insights and spiritual realisation.

Chloe- 

Amelia's nemesis- Not the most popular girl, because of her bitchy nature and has an vindictive evil streak. Her occupation is that of a Barmaid and so she is privy to gossip. Amelia see's Chloe's costume as a tarty barmaid or a traditional villain figure. The colour purple symbolises her promiscuity, dissent and conceit.
