Michele Carragher, the head embroider on Game of Thrones, made this awesome tutorial to show how she created the dragonscale fabric that appears on several of Daenarys’ costumes in S3 and S4.
Ms. Carragher says that the dragonscale fabric was created because “In season 3 the Costume Designer Michele Clapton wanted a Dragonscale like textured embroidery that starts to emerge on three of Daenery’s costumes, which becomes heavier and more pronounced, growing and evolving as the season progresses” (Carragher).
In stages 9-11 of the tutorial we see how the textile evolves from lightly to heavily embellished. This progression is meant to illustrate Daenarys’ personal growth and the growth of her dragons (source).

Decided to watch something lighter, something more enjoyable, so, I’ve watched “Beginners” – it’s a movie with Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer, which’s labelled on Wikipedia as “romantic comedy-drama” and it seems true. (Probably, Spoilers!) Main character’s (Oliver’s) father after his mother’s death comes out as gay, joins different clubs, of course, pride group, goes on parties and lives an active life and dies in four years. The main character himself always observed his parents’ relationship and noticed how “cold” they are and now he has problems with his own love life. A few months after his father’s death he met a “weird girl” (by her own words), an actress, started relationships with her, and even believing that it won’t work out, they try to build them and stay together and enjoy each other’s company. The whole movie has a very clever cut – it’s shown through flashback and non-linear storytelling. Oliver is constantly telling us different dates, showing and describing pictures – telling history. The whole theme of the movie is very interesting, we very rarely see LGBTQ+ elderly in media, especially rarely we see them happy. I also realized that I thought that young Christopher Plummer and old Christopher Plummer are two different people… P.S. The movie includes a very cute Jack Russell dog, with whom everybody talks and he talks back.

Without a good teacher monitoring, most improv exercises favor bold, aggressive students. Whoever either thinks faster or at least acts fastest tends to affect the scenes more and therefore have more chances for feeling validated that they are doing well. While there’s a place for boldness (and certain exercises explicitly focus on being more bold), any good improv team has a mixture of aggressive types with more patient and calm energies.
Believing that, here are five simple rules of conduct which I think help the less aggressive students find their footing in lower level improv classes. These are also just common sense policies for fair play. They’re not meant to leave out aggressive students. And I never state them as being “for the students who are bit more hesitant.” They’re just good etiquette for improv scenes which happen to also help the non-alphas find themselves in the scene.
Merely my opinion: Take ‘em or leave ‘em, fellow teachers!
Initiation Etiquette / ”Be Comfortable With Silence”. Students should not interrupt or finish someone else’s initiation: very commonly done by eager alpha bulldogs in lower levels. Teach that whoever moves first gets focus and a generous amount of time to make their move. The person who responds also gets a lot of time before they have to answer. Discourage the very common practice of talking until you are interrupted. “Be comfortable with silence” I will say a lot.
It’s Okay To Not Know Cultural References. After the first scene in class that happens to mention a movie/book/song/TV show — I point out that they’re not expected to know every movie, book or current event that gets brought up. They SHOULD try to fake it based on context or else admit in character that they don’t know it. And if they are the one who is bringing up a reference and their scene partner doesn’t know it, then it’s their job to help. This affects younger students’ confidence far more than I had appreciated — teach them how this works. (The other side of this coin is that after you’ve taught them how to handle references, no one is allowed to bail on a scene because they don’t know something.)
Protect Decisions To Play Against Type. Gently point out when someone misses their scene partner’s attempt to play against type (gender, age, etc). It’s bad listening and invariably happens to people already feeling left out. Correct whoever misheard as a casual note, not a lecture. “He’s being your mother, not your father.” Or “That’s a teenager talking, not a mom.” Be vigilant for this in the first few sessions especially.
Set Boundaries. This is a class, not a team. Students see very physical and intrusive things on stage at shows. They need you to make clear and enforce that that’s not for class, where people don’t know each other well. Though everyone would assume this to be true, it helps to have the teacher explicitly say it.
You Are Allowed To Say No. You are always allowed to “say no” in a scene to ANYTHING that your character wouldn’t want to do. Like if someone starts a scene by asking if you want a lap dance or maybe wants to steal someone’s baby from a hospital nursery, and your character wouldn’t want to, you can say “no” and you’re not being a bad improviser, (best way is to add a simple truthful reason why, and then stay open to discussing it in character). Even if they immediately realize they are saying “no” to something out of nervousness and they wish they had said yes, it’s okay because it’s important to get practice saying “no” properly in a scene. The take-away here is that you need to play your characters to the top of their intelligence, not trapped by what you think you “should” do because of “yes-and.” They forget this a lot so you remind them.

These are just 5 basic steps to becoming a good ally, but there’s a lot more you can do to improve and grow. I’d love to continue the conversation and hear your thoughts on being an effective ally.
1. Learn how to listen. There’s a big difference between hearingsomeone and listeningto them. If a friend or family member is telling you something - especially something personal - you’re going to need to do more than smile and nod. Active listening involves asking questions to make sure you understand.
2.Educate yourself. When you’re an ally, education never stops. It’s your responsibility to keep learning and growing, notthe sole responsibility of the community you’re working to support.
3.Accept your mistakes. Because there’s always more to learn, there’s always going to be something you don’t know. This inevitably means you are going to mess up and that’s okay, provided you learn from it.
4.Come to terms with your biases. Everyone - even leading feminist, LGBTQ, and civil rights activists- have biases. Recognizing them and working through them is necessary to activist work. Understandably, this can be a very emotional process, which is why it’s so vital to keep educating yourself and accepting your mistakes.
5. Recognize that there are spaces inside communities you do not belong in. As an ally, you are a supporter of a movement, but you do not experience the particular institutionalized discrimination that marginalized community experiences everyday. This is what is meant by privilege. Therefore, communities may want or require safe spaces and it’s your job to respect that.
My favorite art class ever was learning about perspective and using it to sketch and paint. In this post by Painting Watercolor, you learn about the vanishing point and horizon line. One Point Perspective is very clearly explained and demonstrated.
