Introduction

My new project is about Berlin in the 1930s especially focusing on the book 'Goodbye to Berlin' by Christopher Isherwood and it's adaptation 'Cabaret' by Bob Fosse. My final outcome is to choose a character and make the historical verison of them and also choose another character and make a contemporary version of them.
Berlin in the 1930s is a completely new topic to me as I never knew what was happening at these times there between the wars. Therefore the book 'Goodbye To Berlin', the film 'Cabaret' and Weimar Berlin are all new and I've never heard of them.
I'm hoping to find something inspiring in this project as I am learning how people lived outrageous lives, surrounding themselves with sex, alcohol and drugs! This could mean the makeup, hair and fashion is just as outrageous too. I'm hoping to keep up with the research this year so I have plenty of ideas that have been inspired for my final designs.
