Question: What do you think Claudia’s clothes and her physical appearance say about her on the show? Allison Scagliotti:
I think - what I hope that say is that she’s her own person and she doesn’t concern herself with societal standards and what other people expect of her to - expect her to look like or expect her to behave like. You called (Saul) a self-starter. I think Claudia’s a self-starter. I think in addition to being insecure and figuring out who she is as an adult, she knows what she likes and the thing that I’ve been really flattered by in playing her is a number of, like, moms and young girls who reach out to me and tell me what a role model she is for young women, just sort of learning to love themselves. So I hope that what people get out of the way that Claudia presents herself is there’s nothing more beautiful or fun or comfortable then just doing what you like.
Question: The first question I want to ask is about the artifacts, which are absolutely amazing. Have you ever come up with any artifact ideas? And if you haven’t, if you had a chance to today, what would it be? Allison Scagliotti:
I actually have pitched a couple different artifact ideas to them. This year I was taking a lot of ballet classes in Toronto. I actually danced for about eight years before I became an actress. And I pitched the Red Shoes, and I thought it would be interesting if Claudia sort of fell into the Red Shoes and had to dance herself to the brink of death before she could get out of them. But before our benevolent writers and producers were supportive of me playing and singing on the show, I pitched the stage door of (CBGB). And in order to somehow facilitate Claudia fronting an all girl punk band on the show, I believe the feedback was that makes too much sense, like what’s the parallel there. Claudia belongs in an all girl punk band. Yes, that’s it.
