-Let's keep the show ideas simple
-Consider letting someone watch you during rehearsals for your pieces (Ruth would be happy to do this)
-Let's make sure to use the paper maché masks we all made.
SHOW IDEAS:
STRUCTURE:
-We agreed on having 6 or 7 (or however many) main performance pieces with smaller characters/situations showing up every once in a while throughout the evening
-Set it up like a Dreamscape (if confused about meaning, see Imre) with and without recurring characters. Anyway, we develop this sort of weird feeling, otherworldly.
-3 reoccurring characters interrupting scene with a simple activity of some kind -- like fighting over a pencil
-Evolution of the masks/characters (similar to the Amoeba exercise, but only in the sense that an evolution is taking place, Fabiola)
-Neutral Masks could help create environments (forrest, city, ocean, grocery store, etc)
-Neutral Masks or Larvae Masks could set up for the scenes
-Various Dumpster Masks could be passing in the background constantly.
-One character/object could link each of the scenes (for example, a prop being reused from one scene to the next, or a character walking on stage lost looking for the scene then finding his stage partners and beginning the scene)
-Latex Masks in the balcony like the two old guys from the muppets (Imre's grandma, Yanet's Cigar Guy)
SCENES/CHARACTERS:
To Begin Show:
-Body Bag piece
-Ritual with music using Javanese Masks (Fationa, Yanet, David) -- maybe take place in the middle of the audience, with a High Moon Body Bag character starting the possession of the Javanese Masks
-Neutral Masks start the show?
Middle Scenes:
-Throne Scene (Imre, David, Sam, Ruth, Signe)
-Hip-Hop scene (Fabiola, Signe)
-Poker Game
-Larvae Masks at the cafe (Bikash, Fationa, Signe)
-Imre and David's Body Bag characters from the lamp scene
-Rock Concert with Latex Masks (David, Yanet, Bikash)
-Dumpster Collection Team (Fabiola, Yanet, Imre)
Show Endings:
-Family Photo
