In class writing (updated)

In-class writing: 

What do you intend to set as your intention(s)?

Base on my plots of my scene, I want to express a central message: whereas a temporary and overwhelming crush can be very attractive and strong in someways, but people are all controlled or ruled over by their dark side of morality and their fates.  For example, whereas the baker's wife and the prince really had an affair in the woods, there were still parted by their own destinies: the prince need to find Cinderella and slaughter the giant, and the baker's wife need to find the things for her son. And why they  had an crush on each other is not they really fell in love but for their own desire of wealth and lust. The Prince liked the Baker's wife because of lust and loneliness; and the baker's wife had an affair with the Prince because she thought she could use him to be her fate to wealth and thus a much better life.

What do you hope the impact(s) on the audience will be?

I want the audience to come to my theater thinking that they are just watching a fairytale, but when they leave I want them to actually bring some reality about the actual world when they leave. For instance, although In To The Woods is just a fictional story and all the characters in the text are fictional too, specifically my own piece will reveal to the audience the truth of momentary love and crush are just as easy to fade away as bubbles in real life.Like I have said in my proposal, “I even want to set myself as a puppet like figure on the stage. This is to refer to Brecht’s intention of showing his audience that everyhing is fake: the story, the narrator, the characters, and the costumes. Also, this is for expressing another message of my own that, whereas a temporary and overwhelming crush can be very attractive and strong in someways, but people are all controlled or ruled over by their dark side of morality and their fates.” I want the audience to feel how weak and small love and fascination are in front of fate and death. And also another moral lesson that people's selfishness and desire are sometimes stronger than love. 


How might you assess the efficacy of that in the talkback (what questions can you ask, etc.)?

Ask my audience what do they think the message(s) of the piece is(are). What are are you confused about this piece? Do you think there is absolutely true love? What do you think my piece's argument about love is? Do you agree with the central message of this piece? If not, why?  ...

Linda Li’s Director vision

Linda Li Mrs. Guarino IB Theater HL 23 October 2018 Linda Li’s Director Vision of The Caucasian Chalk Circle     When we cheerfully completed the play The Caucasian Chalk Circle last year in the Black Box theater, the images and the script were stamped into my brain. The Caucasian Chalk Circle was about a peasant girl, Grusha who rescued a baby, Michael, and became a better mother than its wealthy natural parents, George Abashwilli and Natella Abashwilli. For the particular scene that I have chose from the play, which is the scene that Natella screaming and fighting the judge Azdak because he decided that Grusha would be Michael’s official guardian and her own property would be taken for public usage, I have decided to plot the scene again by in a independent and different way. Additionally, I was inspired by Mr. Aronson’s style of arranging the scenes of the play and the very aggressive and powerful image of Natella Abashwilli who is one of the most important i...

Collaboration Project

Love Is Complicated Ideas based on stimulus The inspiration for our devising group project titled, Love is Complicated is derived from the stimulus, the painting the hole on the wall.     We gathered our information and ideas about the theme of the play by recalling what we see and what we think of the art work. The very first thing that we realized/noticed about the painting is the distinctive red balloon. Obviously the balloon used to belong to the human figure on the left side and now the balloon is gone, we can tell this by looking at how the hand of the “human” is trying to reach for the balloon. Also the balloon has a shape of a heart, which is possibly referring to love. Combining love and the sense of distance/abandon, we’ve decided our topic to be about the sad facts of love. This piece has allowed the members of our group to explores themes of the following: The longing for love Heartbreak Unfaithfulness Betrayal Love is complicated ...
