directors vision

what would you focus on The main thing that I would focus on would be the journey of desiree from being adopted to her discovering that she is chosen by the gods, and transfer that to her actual journey from the village to the city and her voyage to the palace. I would mainly focus on this to show the trials and triumphs she faced going to find Daniel, and show the passion she had and how she was strong for enduring days and nights of starvation. I would also what to show the transformation of her physically and mentally over the days, and days. what would the overall production be like? the overall production would be a split stage, and the other parts of the stage would be like cut off and the lighting and focus would be on the part of the stage that the scene is. so I split the stage into three and kept the hotel in the middle because I feel like that was the ending and Desiree's goal. so I wanted that to be in the middle because it is the biggest thing and the hotel has to ...

Play Review

The play at Yale I think was such a good and interesting performance. I love how there was a comedic presence without the entire play and everyone was able to get a laugh out of it and relate to it. though it was a Shakespearian adaptation, they were able to add the Shakespeare language along with some modern phrases that the youth use, to make it more connectable for the audience, and I think it worked very well. I liked that the cast used a lot of gestures that were also very modernized like the piece sign and different dance moves. I loved the way that the monologues were intimate for the audience, and I feel like they were used to catch us up on the story/ plot of the play and understand the characters inner thoughts. The staging the beginning started with a futuristic screen that was like an illusion that drew you in from the beginning. the play kept up with this futurist theme when they were using the future glasses to cover their faces, and when they were fighting and they u...

Starts out mysterious and desiree is very skeptical of what is to come on her journey alone in the woods as animals are following behind her She finds a car and chooses to reach out and touch it. The first one she has felt ever. The car was crashed into a tree Desiree found a man in the car with soft skin and curly hair He was breathing heavily and then stopped breathing Desiree was the only one to go up to him until she called for the village people with a song that she sang Papa ge says the man is not dead They take him to the cabin of bienaime because it is big and stone He has grey eyes and bronze skin Desiree insists that they bring him to their hut instead.
