Winners and Losers Redux

Journal for Acting 11/12 (early for those of you who are on the phabulous phield trip to Phictoria!)

We've been working on knockoffs of the play "Winners and Losers".  Can all things be reduced to a winner or a loser?  (Give your opinion.)  Think of something (not the thing you're debating) that you think is a winner and something that you think is a loser.  Explain why you think the way you do.

Drama 9/10:  We will recite "Speak the speech" on Monday and Tuesday!  Be ready to go.

Journal:  What advice would you give to actors?  ("Speak the speech" as you remember, I'm sure, is Hamlet's advice to the players.)

Theatre Production 11/12:  The Drama Club is working on "Ten Years Later" which explores a high school drama club's tenth reunion.  It takes place at the Overhook Hotel.  At one point in the play, the alumni are locked in to the ballroom where the reunion takes place.  Design a logo for the Overhook -- it will appear on the set and on the program and poster for the play.  Think about metaphors!

Directors/Scriptwriters:  Try to have a draft of your adaptation ready for Monday.  Focus on plot!

Drama 8:  Is the myth "Creation of the World" a good story to act out?  Explain why or why not.  Describe what issues you've dealt with in planning your play.  Has anyone in the group really helped you make progress and figure out what to do?  Has anyone hindered your progress?  How would you assess your own contribution?
