BACKSTAGE: where the actor prepares or can relax, they do not have to be in their performance
COSTUME: the materials that support performance and guide impressions in the way an individual presents themselves to others
FACE: the esteem in which an individual is held by others
FRONT STAGE: where the main action takes place concerning impression management
In these two pictures we see Keely and Zach in their backstage state. They are practicing their dance moves outside of Midnight Rodeo. Notice their costume. They are both wearing tennis shoes and Zach is wearing athletic shorts. This drastically differs from the costume they wear when they are at Midnight Rodeo. Keely and Zach are able to relax and perfect their moves; there is room for mistake here. Backstage, they are not concerned with saving face if they happen to mess up. This prepares them for when they immerse themselves in the Midnight Rodeo culture and must perform on the front stage.
