Some really good stuff came out of last Thursday's session! I like the name Divine Intervention for the Opera. It is much stronger than just a bad day and the symbolism and drama of becoming 'divine' is much more Operatic in size!!
We have worked a rough story up until our primary conflict between two rival gangs.
In class this week Cathy and I will build all the lyrics for our first section and then, while on our feet, we will then discover our words and music for the Epic Gang Fight and the moment of divinity!
I'll email copies of what we have so far to Cathy and Michael. No need for students to have them yet as they will change and I want them to be free to create and not glued to a page!
Michael if you could review the tableau basics before we get there that would be fab.
"Three levels and a focus. A 'snapshot' that gives a ton of information."
As per your suggestion I'd love to implement that in our opening and have visions of it really adding in other sections to come!
Please congratulate the class on their level of participation. This week it will be even more I know!!! And THANK YOU for the name tags!
