First Meetings

This week, we had our first big meeting with our capstone group (yay!). We met with our actors, discussed possible bits, audience interaction, and other important elements that it takes for this project to continue moving forward. With our venue in place, we began deliberating on set pieces, running bits we can do with the space, where and how to delegate the jury, the details of the soundboard, and many other important elements that will make this piece stand out. Additionally, we have gotten some of the scripting for Act 1 smoothed out and ordered in a way that we believe will ease the audience into the environment without hand-holding excessively. We plan to work up to the mood of the project gradually, both to guide the players into the scene and simultaneously let any potential juror members understand the context they will be working within. We are in the process of finding a group of people to run our first playtest on, then plan to meet after that to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and what to change before we playtest on another group!
