Hello, everyone! Welcome to the official blog for the Wesleyan Theater Department's 2008 production of Samuel Beckett's Happy Days!
This blog will serve as a forum for communication regarding design, rehearsals, research, scheduling, and general progress of the production.
To begin, here are the notes from today's production meeting:
SCHEDULE:
--Annie and Gedney will be available all summer to contact, to meet, etc.
--Ian will definitely be available for June and July, but may be in Scotland in August.
--Claudia will be unavailable the first week, first week and a half in July.
--First on the agenda is a meeting for close readings and analysis. This will take place during the first week in June.
--Prior to that (next week), Annie and Gedney will meet to discuss EVERYTHING, so they will have more specific ideas, questions, etc for the advising faculty and Ian.
SPACE:
--Have thought about outside: want a space that exists in and of itself, that provides some expanse that is separate from the Wesleyan campus (Long Lane has been suggested)
--We should never neglect the lighting instructions provided by Beckett regardless of where we perform
--We should contact Barbara Ally, Camilla, and Ed Chiburis this week about securing rehearsal space.
--We should also contact Barbara Ally & Camilla to discuss the availability of Zilkha and other alt. spaces on campus
If you think of anything else from the meeting, or anything you think would be relevant to these notes, please post them!
Post anything! Post everything!
Soon,
Annie and Gedney.
