CONTINUED BRAINSTORMING
- Entrepreneurial Archetypes
- Packaging Actors as products
- Job search: Marketing yourself
- Cover letter writing = creating a character other than yourself
- adding: “THE BEST” / “REALLY WELL” at the end of self statements
- Announcement of characters reading off self-descriptions (maybe determined by
list of key characteristics)
-
Archetypes in tableaus presented in small boxes / tableaus with props, costume,
etc. but leaves behind
-
Incorporate audience in performance?
SCHEDULING
- 3 rehearsals (4-6 hours) before the end of classes – during these we will share
what individuals (or small groups) have prepared then try to discover how these
elements might interlock into a performance
- People work individually on idea they want to contribute/present/look at with the
group for each rehearsal
- WED 12 noon meeting time will be for Production/Funding/Logistic meetings as
well as check-in and continued Project Discussion after each Rehearsal Section
- 2 weeks after classes end = focused work and continued development of piece, using
what was discovered/created in the prior 3 Rehearsals
- New Works = present piece
- Time btwn New Works and Prague = fix any technical issues, add large scenic
elements (if seems necessary), clean up piece, get ready to travel it!

Decide maximum sum you are willing to pay if we can’t get entire budget funded.
PLEASE HAVE THIS SUM READY FOR YOURSELF & US in case we need it. PLEASE
BE HONEST AND FAIR. We will need to know the MAX AMOUNT you can pay. I.e. if
it is over that amount, you will not be able to come to Prague.
