3/31

Don't forget--on FRIDAY this week we will all meet at school at normal time, THEN go to Fort Lewis.  We dismiss FROM Fort Lewis College at 3:15 pm (no bus back to school).

Today is all about Tech!  We need to have all of this done asap.  It is going to be chaotic.  That's completely ok.  Communicate kindly and clearly with your teammates and myself during this day.

Requirements (have someone in your production group write these tasks down and check them off as they are completed.)

Sound design:  
____  Find the speakers and get them hooked up outside where they will be during the play (decide where is best, talk w/set design people)
____ Get the computer w/all the sound effects hooked up
____  Play through all of the sound effects, using your annotated script.  Make notes where you think sounds should be added in addition to what you already have.
____ Find Matt and show him what you've done.

 Set Design:
__ Get your set design approved once and for all by Matt (disclaimer:  we may have to adjust to do it all outside!)
__ Get the prisms outside!  Show Matt the designs you will make for each.  Claim, in marker, which sides are YOURS so the other class doesn't paint on them.
___Paint over your sides of the prisms in black.
__Figure out the curtain scenes--what will go on them?  Where will they be?  How will they be held up?  Begin sketching the designs on the curtains with pencil or sharpie.

Assistant Directors:
__Look over your scripts.  Make sure you have all the correct annotations down.  Be ready to run through your scene from top to bottom and explain your blocking decisions to Matt and an audience.  Have copious notes (at least one page) taken explaining your artistic choices in blocking the scene that you have assistant-directed.

Costume Design:
__Take an inventory of every costume piece you have.  Label each with the name of the character and the class (either Class I or Class II (depending on when you start class during the day).
__Hang all costume pieces on costume rack and/or in a cardboard box beneath it (for hats, masks, etc)
__Make the masks that you need to make for the fairies or other characters as needed.  Check w/Matt about mask-making supplies.
__For all the pieces that are missing, make a complete list on googledocs, featuring the name of the character, name of the actor, and name of the cosutume piece (see example below):  Share this with Matt so he has it too!!!

Character Name                       Actor                              Costume piece
Oberon                                    Bruce Willis                    White t-shirt

speak with the individual actor.  Find out if they can supply their own costume pieces that are needed.

Dramaturgs:  Check with Matt about designing the program and what features you want to include.

As soon as you are done, tell Matt!
