BONDS:
CLOTHES THAT
SLIT THE PLATERS
When you see the exquisite
costumes used in the University
Theater's production of Trojan
Women, you're seeing the
creative talents and hard work
of Sandy Bonds
Bonds and her staff of a
dozen or so have put together
literally every stitch of clothing
used in the production Besides
creating the flowing, multi
colored gowns worn by the ac
tresses, they have hand-crafted
everything from shoes and
headdresses to the armor that is
worn by some of the actors
“This is realty a very thorough
design project for all of us,"
says Bonds "For folks that
aren't in the theater, it might be
hard to realize the amount of
detail that goes into this ”
Work on the 20 costumes
began last August when Bonds
and the show's director, Grant
McKemie, agreed on the gen
eral type of costumes that would
be appropriate for the show
To make the costumes ap
pear as authentic as possible
Bonds then did some research
to find out how people dressed
during the period of the Trojan
War After taking into account
the requirements of the cos
tumes in the script, she then
made sketches of the individual
costumes The costumes used
in the play have been con
structed from these sketches
Most of the costumes have
built-in features that trigger
certain emotional responses,
says Bonds The gowns are
constructed using diagonal
lines, which are supposed to
give a feeling of unrest Ho
rizontal and vertical lines won't
give the effect that best
compliments the script, she
says
Bonds pays almost im
maculate attention to detail "I
can't stand going to shows and
seeing plain fabric flat.” she
says ‘ You need to have detail
so that the dresses will be just as
interesting to the people sitting
in back as they are to those who
are in front ”
The fabric that Bonds decid
ed was best for the costumes
wasn't available in the exact
colors that she wanted
Because she felt that this detail
was important Bonds and her
staff dyed each piece of fabric
by hand
A quality costume does have
a direct effect on the actors and

actresses, says Bonds "A cos
tume cannot make up for a bad
performance, but it can en
hance a good performance."
she says
Bonds' interest in theater is
one that has been growing
since she first acted in a play
when she was in second grade
"I really enjoy my work It's a
creative outlet One of the rea
sons that it stays so interesting
is because each show is differ
ent she says

The outcome of the play the main message or
idea is that the women come to the realization
that there will be future generations who will look
at Troy and say Do you see these people repre
sented something important What they repre
sented was (the idea) that war is ultimately futile,
unfair, and ought not to happen at all if possible
it s really kind of a ritual hymn, if you will It's a
very meaningful litany The whole play takes on
the quality of a chant
McKerme finds the play to be a deeply moving
statement about the capacity of the human soul to
endure pain and to somehow make that pain
have meaning for other people
"I believe the function of theatre is to make
people aware of who they are as human beings
and who they are as a community." McKerme
says "I believe that the theatre is a place where
we come to share experiences Everything we do
in this theatre program is an attempt to make
people feel better about who they are as human
beings and to understand more about the human
condition
"One of the things that awes me when I watch a
play like Tro/an Women is that I realize that I do
share emotional reactions with other people and
not only with people around me today but with
people who have lived in the past as well The fact
that Euripedes could write this play in 415 B C
and still have an impact on me in 1981 makes me
feel that there must be a kind of meaning to life
Life goes on l build that very sense of faith I think
the play is talking about That's something I think
all theatre should do

of his experience in set building
comes from a time when he was
involved in set construction
Dustrud was one of 20 car
penters who designed and built
the Oregon Repertory Theater
in downtown Eugene The en
tire project, from bare blueprints
to opening night, took only two
weeks
Dustrud sees no end to his

those things that's just hard to
