Design - the next stage!
Thank you and well done to everyone who has posted ideas so far - keep them coming (and I still have a couple to post) They have given us a brilliant starting point and I am really excited by this project.
After yesterday's meeting, I think it is time to focus our thinking a bit.
So...some important dates for the beginning of next term:
1. Thursday 8th September at 4pm. Major design meeting for everyone who wishes to be involved in the design process. It is vital that everyone interested attends this meeting - it will be the time when we make some key decisions about the design of the show.
2. Thursday 6th October at 4pm. Costume design presentations. This will be the opportunity for everyone to present and explain their costume designs. On the basis of this, designs will be chosen to be made. You could present designs for just one costume or for a few costumes or for whole set of costumes.
3. Thursday 13th October at 4pm. Set design presentations. This will be the opportunity for everyone to present and explain their set designs. Again, a decision about the final set design will be made on the basis of these presentations.
Everyone is invited to submit a design for consideration.
One of the key things to bear in mind when designing is that the set or the costume must 'say' something appropriate about the play or the character.
To help with this, I will post some notes about each character and about the play as a whole. Use them as a kind of checklist - ask yourself if your design does, in fact, communicate what we want to say.
Incidentally, do feel free to comment on my notes. They are not gospel and I would really welcome the debate.
