I am so proud of how our scene went. Ladia and Marie I can't belive how well you memorized all of those lines. Marie you had excellent timing a way to slow down the play which... shar0243 2005-05-06T08:34:54-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/020580.html I think we've got a good start on our piece. I am happy with how John has been driecting. I really like the emphasis we are putting on the canned food, wanting to help, comfort Minnie and not really having... shar0243 2005-04-27T12:46:58-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/020308.html John, you asked really good questions to get our group focusing. Courteny I think It's interesting how you see the objects as having the power. That is an abstract thought to me. Marie, thanks for having the guts to make... shar0243 2005-04-22T13:06:43-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/019968.html I am amazed how much we accomplished in just one meeting! Ladia you really had a great idea of how to make the play just a little different than the script by incorporating a shadow figure of the murderer. This... shar0243 2005-04-18T13:57:49-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/019094.html To me the theme of Triffles seems to be ostracization. The women are pushed in their place away fromt he men. The poor wife is completly isolated from the rest of the community because she has no children. I think... shar0243 2005-04-05T08:15:21-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/018716.html The activity that we did in class in which we went around the circle and each made a different noise and action to send around the circle reminded me of what Grotowski would want actors to do to help eliminate... shar0243 2005-03-30T14:12:59-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/016915.html What I liked about "He who says yes/He who says no" was that the boy did have control of hi life. His dissions affected his life. I also liked that breaking the "rule" lead to a good outcome. I thought... shar0243 2005-02-28T21:08:14-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/016110.html How is Stage blood a comedy and a tragedy? Well maybe because death occured over a toilet. I guess I think it's funny because no one ever stops to care or contemplate the death of the father. The jokes keep... shar0243 2005-02-17T10:59:49-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/015549.html The piece that Hamlet would most easily be compared and contrasted with is Oedipus, but that was done in class, so I guess I will use a little brain power and make some new observations. First of all The two... shar0243 2005-02-09T13:49:25-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/015069.html So Oedipus solved the riddle of the spinx, so the spinx flew up and became a stutue. We are supposed to believe that the reason for oedipus being let in is because of his problem solving skills, but he is... shar0243 2005-02-01T22:36:42-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/shar0243/theater1101/014683.html The style of the Laramie Project is not what I expected. I had assumed that the play would just act out the events leading up to and after the murder of Mathew Shepard, but it was much more. Instead, the... shar0243 2005-01-26T22:19:07-06:00
