Lesson:
We shared log #1. The question for this can be found on the last blog entry.
We chose hats for our characters and assigned topics for Dramaturges. Many professional acting companies today have dramaturges, consultants who are responsible for providing directors with all kinds of historical and literary information pertaining to the play. You will become this for our journey through Othello.
Presentations should be about 5 minutes and be both informative and interesting.
Dates for presentations:
December 5/6: Venice and Cyprus
December 7/10: Moors and Turks
January 8/9: Ira Aldridge, Paul Robeson, and Recent Othello Productions
January 10/11: Epilepsy
Make sure, if you were absent, to see me to be assigned a project.
We then broke into acting companies to read and perform scenes from 1.2. If absent, complete an extended log entry. Label it "Absence make-up entry". Thi sentry will be worth double the points.
HMWK:
Read 1.2
In addition to your log entry, do this free-writing exercise. Write about a time when you resented someone who received an honor you were hoping to get. How did you feel about the person who received it, and how did you feel about the one who chose the other person instead of you?
