Top of the Form!

Senior Drama:

As we discussed in class, we have a chance to go to the Vancouver International Film Festival to see a Canadian/Japanese film called "The Vancouver Asahi" about a baseball team in the 1930's.  We would go on October 10 and miss D Block.  (We would leave during our class in C Block.)  We would take a school bus to downtown Vancouver and then return by public transit.  The tickets for the film would be $7.00 and there would be a small charge for the bus as well, but as I said, if you cannot afford it, please just let me know and we will make sure you can attend.

Please let me know if this is something you would be able to attend.  I would like to be able to book a.s.a.p. so try to let me know by tomorrow!

Journals for Senior Drama:

Actors:  How can an actor create a character who only has two lines?  Think of what you can do to make a character like that memorable and funny.

Stagecraft:  Draw a sketch of what the set for "Top of the Form" would look like.  What music would work for the theme of the show?  (Try to bring an example for Monday.)  How will you accomplish the end of the play?  (It doesn't have to be exactly what is described in the script.)

Directors/Writers:  How would you cast this sketch if you had the power (from the actors in our class)?  What makes something a comedy?  Our question of the day was about our most embarrassing moments.  Embarrassment can be a source of comedy -- think about a comedy sketch you could write based on one of the embarrassing moments someone other than yourself described.

Journals are due on Tuesday.
