St Trinians merchandise arrived this morning. The pictures - single image cartoons - often make the school girls look like squaddies in skirts. They all drink and smoke and play billiards. One image was of the teacher starting the Parents Evening - and satan is 3rd in the queue. It was actually quite funny.
The key question from today was: how does the audience allow for the fantasy elements in Kneehigh's performances? Watching the clips again, it is clear that the ensemble work in so many dimensions to produce a fabulous array of stage image, sound images, physical images, projected images and other images of light and shadow and puppets...
One idea for Lake House: to make the changing seasons (obviously of some relevancein the film) think of staging methods like the ones Kneehigh used - e.g. they created the river through a boat; a branch and a bowl of water.... how about winter through a branch, a fan and a bowl of white fluff... simple as that?
Hmm.

What's All This?
Everyday I have hundreds of conversations with staff and students. I would like to think that each and every one of them is super-important. Some of them certainly are. The purpose of this blog is to record some of the verbal decisions and ideas that would otherwise be lost.
Please read regularly and try to keep up. Especially read the notes on other groups' projects because they will shed light on your own processes. I obviously welcome comments and would encourage you to both read and post comments.
Cheers!
