KATE ALL ALONE - Australian Theatre Assessment, Week 2 (T4W7)

No single-day cop-outs this time! Five whole days of work this week!

Except for when we didn't have Drama.

And when I was away.

Yeah, except for those days.

So this week we started by organising a shared Google Doc for this task, which has honestly been really useful. It's allowed us to brainstorm ideas and such far more effectively, it's allowed us to link other important documents that we may need (currently just the assessment sheet itself, but I think we're planning to add a separate document containing the scripts for the scenes we're performing), and it's allowed us to communicate with each other when some of us are away. Looking at you, me.

So yeah, Kate got left all alone for at least one day, and instead of taking that time to curl up and ponder my isolation as I would have done she instead decided to be a great group member and think up some ideas for potential scenes we could perform, as well as for the direction of each of those scenes. So, well done Kate! Your effort has been greatly appreciated!

Then Kate and I were by ourselves and we certainly... talked. About... things. Yes. Not necessarily things related to the assessment, but definitely things.

Like, hidden revolving bookshelf door things.

Okay, so I'm exaggerating a bit. We actually did get a fair bit done that lesson, it's just that hidden revolving bookshelf doors stand out as the highlight moment of that hour. Aside from that though, we had a few philosophical discussions about the source of Ana's isolation, and how she seems to be trying to convince Catherine to be isolated with her - kind of like an "alone together" thing.

Also this week we started blocking a few scenes. Like, that's it. There's not really anything I can say on that. We decided the general shape of the stage for each scene, and that we were going to use the giant black box as a big foreboding desk. But, that's it. Not really anything of interest there.

--What kind of a name is Countess Coloratura, like, who would name their daughter Coloratura, like, I know names in Equestria are usually odd-sounding and weirdly prescient with regards to destiny but seriously Coloratura sounds even sillier than most of those,
