If you cannot make this meeting let me know at least ONE day in advance because we will have to set a separate time for you to meet with us. If I do not hear from you and you do not come to the meeting I will assume that you are no longer interested or available to be on the crew for the fall show.
Also - if you have friends that did not sign-up at auditions, but might like to come check it out, tell them to come meet with us too.

6 Impossible Things - meeting on Friday 10/1
Here's how it will work:
The plays will be short – 3 to 10 minutes in length. There will be six of them. In addition, there will be monologues and short connected sketches that will intersperse the primary pieces. The total running time for the show will be 70 minutes, performed without an intermission.
All of the works will explore the theme “Impossibility.” Playwrights are required to attend the two workshops on Oct.15th & Nov. 5th. Bring paper and pens to these workshops because we will be writing and reading works-in-progress.
The end goal is two-fold: to have a fun, theatrical show; and to have a performance text that we will submit to publishers. If published all royalties will go to Ledyard Drama to contribute to the financial stability and future of the club after we have gone.

THE VIEWPOINTS
During today's rehearsal we referred to Veiwpoints and worked through some of the introductory exercises. To learn more about them be sure to explore the links on this page.
VIEWPOINTS
The Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation that grew out of the post-modern dance world. It was first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie who broke down the two dominant issues performers deal with - time and space - into six categories. She called her approach, the Six Viewpoints. Since that time, Artistic Director Anne Bogart and SITI Company have expanded her notions and adapted them for actors. The Viewpoints allows a group of actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. It develops flexibility, articulation, and strength in movement and makes ensemble playing really possible.
