Costume List S2 (Atychiphobia) by Alexis Phillips-Ogle

Sasha 2 is the alter ego of Sasha Peters. Her hair is going to be messy and informal in comparison to the tidy and formal style ballerina bun Sasha 1 will wear. The representation of scruffy hair, will show how disorientated and out of order Sasha 2 is. Her hair will usually cover her face which again relates to her hiding from her true self. 

Sasha 2 is a complete contrast to Sasha 1 and we see more of her toward the end. Her costume is a representation of the true self that lurks in the depths of a character. She clothes herself in darkness, shielding herself from any truth that may come her way. 


To match her scruffy hair, Sasha 2 will have a face smeared with black make up. This will represent disorder and distress. When a woman has significantly smudged make up, one would automatically assume something is wrong. And with Sasha 2, that is definitely the case.




The main item of clothing worn by Sasha is a dark green zip up sweatshirt. The dark green is significant as it represents a seething jealousy that lurks within the character who wears it. The darker the green the more representative it is of the darkness, distress and intense jealousy that the character will face as a result of jealousy. The sweatshirt will have a hood as this adds to the idea of secrecy and hiding behind a mask. 





Commonly, people who lurk behind the shadows wear black to blend into the background. the black jeans will follow this convention and allow our actress (Sasha 2) to blend into the darkness and shadows behind the stage which represents her hiding her true self from her. 


Black converse shoes will be worn to represent the sneaky nature of Sasha 2 and her ability to change any given situation to allow her to get her way. The shoes are quiet with rubber soul. Rubber soles and souls will both bounce back despite what's going on in life. Sasha 2 is going to have fear consume her and her way of 'bouncing back' is to kidnap her own self.
