final call: intimate moments of actors backstage



For the last 25 years, top actors – from Colin Firth to Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett to David Tennant – have allowed theatrical photographer Simon Annand into the private sanctums of their dressing rooms, capturing them as they prepare to go on stage. This series focuses on the final 30 minutes before curtain-up, known behind the scenes as 'the half': a time for sinking into character, touching up makeup – or having a Diet Coke break.

lol, the Kelly Brook one is hilarious to me for some reason
loveumbrella 17th-Feb-2012 05:10 pm (UTC)
Idk, they don't look particulary sad to me. More like serious or lost in their thoughts, like I'd imagine an actor just before they get on stage.
xo_prettywords 17th-Feb-2012 05:18 pm (UTC)
I don't think they are depressed, just all getting in character, prepping to go onstage etc so they are probably all in their own heads

Actors always have a face like thunder right before performances. Before our end-of-term performance when we were all warming up backstage, the atmosphere felt really positive and buzzy but when you actually took a look around, everybody had a face like a well-slapped arse (myself included, as the mirror confirmed). It's a strange state of being, it feels like about 20 emotions amalgamated.
