Richard Corson (late) was the author of several fashion and makeup books. He taught courses in theatrical makeup in several colleges across the United States. In 1972 he received the Founders Award (International Thespian Society) ""in recognition of distinguished contributions to theatre and youth."" His name is perhaps the most well-recognized in the industry. James Glavan is Professor of Costume Technology and Makeup at the University of Texas at Austin. He has worked at many of the great opera, ballet, and theatre companies in the US, including the Santa Fe Opera, Seattle Opera, Minnesota Opera, Boston Opera, the Gunthrie Theatre, Hartford Stage, and the Hartford Ballet. For many years he worked as a puppet builder at Jim Henson Productions, Inc. in New York. Internationally, he has taught costume, makeup, and animatronics in Taipei, Taiwan; Hong Kong; San Jose, Costa Rica; Shanghai, China; Medellin, Colombia; and Moscow, Russia. Beverly Gore Norcross received her MFA in Costume Design from California State University, Fullerton. She freelanced in Los Angeles with IATSE Locals 705 and 768. Her academic posts have included Purdue University, San Joaquin Delta College and California State University, Fullerton. She has won a Daytime Emmy Certificate, American College Theatre Festival Award, and an Elly Award. Beverly is currently at Western Nevada College, IATSE Local 363, and her studio BelleVue Designs.
Creating a book that is a highly detailed nuts and bolts manual and an inspirational guide is a true balancing act. The monumental logistics of working with collaborator experts and multiple models, of documenting complicated processes, while honoring the work of the original author are to be commended. This edition includes Richard Corson's preface; new readers can hear in his own words how he wanted performers, designers, and directors and makeup artists to use his book. The contemporary practice of makeup design and application has been left in capable hands, ensuring that the legacy of Corson's classic work reaches forward to future generations through James Glavan and Beverly Gore Norcross. - Margaret Mitchell, Theatre Design & Technology
