This week was perhaps the first that we started to really think about the totality of the project. I feel like I'm now operating with a different perspective on how to approach our devised piece. On Tuesday we spent time working on bookends for our show, which has given it more narrative structure. This makes me feel more secure about the project in general, as I was starting to get a little nervous that we were getting lost in conversations about hypotheticals. One of the most important pieces of this revelation was a discussion about an effective timeline and method to complete the piece. We have determined that we will spend the next three classes (11/14, 11/15, 11/17) continuing work on fleshing out our moments and will have a defined plot and set of scenes by the end of class on 11/17. We will then spend each class between then and the first of December working an individual scene, with the intent of being able to do a complete run through 12/1. Karsten and I also discussed splitting our time during this period between working directly with the actors and beginning work on design and continuing script improvements separately to give the actors a chance to develop their own work. We will continue to update as we find a balance for directing ourselves through rehearsals.
