Prompt #25
22 October 2013
Sharing some reflections, reflecting some more
The online discussion
There are now well over 70 posts and replies on the forum. No
one is likely to read all of them, so how can we find the
ideas most worth attending to? Here's a way to give everybody
a chance to raise issues they think worth discussing. We'll
begin with a short, focused inkshed (say about five minutes, by hand, right now). Just to make things easier to handle, I have some forms left over from a conference on inkshedding; I'll pass them around. Think back over the online
discussion, and what issues were raised there that you'd like
to have attention paid to. Focus on issues that might help us
think about the relation between the reading of the script on
the page and the watching of it enacted in the theatre. Put
your name at the top, and then write for five minutes or so,
making an argument that we should talk about some specific
issue.
I'll set up some groups; we'll exchange inksheds between
groups, and each group will decide on one primary inkshed to discuss, and one backup. We'll discuss them.
For next time
Next time will be a week from today, as I'll be out of town on
Thursday. There will be a new prompt (actually, two prompts)
up this evening to explain how we'll continue working; I'll
email when they're available.
