Strange Garments

Journals for the week!  Remember to answer all the questions.

Theatre Production:  I hope you have read the play by now.  Choose one character from "Macbeth" and write about how the "gender-fluid" idea might play itself out through that character.  How would you costume that character?  Would you try to make that character look like the character's gender or the actor's gender?  Think of the colour palette we have been discussing -- black, grey, white and red.

Macbeth says "I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none" and Lady Macbeth answers, "When you durst do it, then you were a man".  How does gender fluidity influence how the audience might understand that exchange?

Director/Scriptwriter:  What are your ideas about the adapted script?  You've chosen the poem.  What do you plan to do with it?  (It's not carved in stone, so just write your random thoughts about it at this point.)

Acting 11/12:    What emotion is the most powerful one?  What is your experience of that emotion?  (Tell the story.)  Describe how you felt (physically) when the emotion took hold of you.  What actions did you take when you experienced the emotion?

Drama 9/10:    What is the funniest movie or tv show or play you have ever seen?  Summarize the plot.  Try to explain what was so funny about it.

Drama 8:  On a scale of 1 - 5 (with 5 being perfect, and 1 being terrible), rate your ability to work in a group.  Explain your rating.  What qualities do you have to offer your group?  How could you improve?   Are you a good leader?  Explain why or why not.  Write about an experience you had working in a group (it can be a good one or a bad one) and then what you learned from the experience.
