Tuesday

Things from 12.1 today:
1. St Trinians - are actually adapting or employing a genre and therefore need to understand the conventions of the genre. Their materials (books, DVDs, etc, still have not arrived and this is becoming very frustrating. After the lesson, it dawned on me that a play about a school, performed by a cast of 3 coudl look to John Godber's "Teechers" for inspiration and a way around the casting problem. The costume designer for the group may also find this a slightly more interesting challenge.
2. The Lake House. Now a group of 3. A possibility of getting bigger if the project demands it. The group needs Il Mare - the Korean original from which the script for The Lake House was adapted. The quickest method will be for the students to source it and for the dept. to reimburse them, given the problems getting the other stuff. The group was also unable to download a script for the piece because the site was blocked (grrr.)
3. Alice in W - After the lesson, in typical fashion, I realised that they would become the group who were not actually adapting something for the stage but should, in fact, be simpy devising a piece in the style of Kneehigh.

NOTE: audition pieces will be performed during the double period next week, for those of us not in Greece....
