The ensemble continued last night’s conversation about the possible relationships between the troupe and the map makers. After a quick break the ensemble members delved into creating troupe characters, and then making maps of the Directing Studio as those characters. We ended by reflecting on the evening’s work in preparation for tomorrow’s in-class rehearsal. Here is the script as of today: 10-26 Script.

Open-ended questions
Here are a few open-ended questions to consider about the point we stopped at in yesterday’s rehearsal – they’ve been on my mind and I didn’t want to forget them! Look forward to discussion tonight.
Are mapmakers played by members of the troupe?
Are they aware of each other- seeing and acknowledging each other, etc
What chronological planes do the stories unfold on? As in, if the troupe ‘s story is “live” and sharing the same space and understanding of Time as the audience members, how does the mapmaker story fit into that?
Who then has agency over the performance? I expressed that if the mapmakers “control” the troupe and create their story then it feels insular from the audience for me, as it is predetermined, self fulfilling its own narrative. If the troupe arrives with the intent to perform, and carry out their performance with awareness of the audience, the theater space, etc, is the audience to accept the mapmakers as occurring on a separate theatrical plane from the troupe? What does this mean for their interactions?

The ensemble spent the first half of rehearsal working on individual pieces before reconvening to weave the individual pieces together. I will publish the script containing today’s work to the website as soon as everyone’s text is sent to me and I have time to compile it. We will pick up tomorrow fleshing out the Map Maker story.

While we’re at the idea of what story we should tell…
Here’s something by Kurt Vonnegut:
Just some more food for thought.

The group rehearsed during class time. After discussing the TED talk that Carl had uploaded to the site, as well as Melissa’s “bullet points”, everyone worked for 20 minutes to create a piece responding to and drawing on those posts as well as others on the site. Then everyone performed their pieces for the group and discussed them.
