While my time on Totoro as part of the main WHAM Team, I performed all of the shows plots and learned all of the hairstyles there was to do on the show, meaning I was responsible for both the principles and the ensamble hairstyles. Over the whole run, I also did day shifts prepping the wigs, hairpieces, backstage and the wig room for daily wig calls.
