Analyzing Mr. Black's Response to Water by the Spoonful

The play needs to be pragmatic:

  • sustainability
  • visibility
  • affordability
  • accessibility

There needs to be a musicality, a consistent flow:

  • no aspects that may obstruct this rhythm
  • Maintaining a flow
  • EX: Theatre of the Absurd - breaks all the rules and flows
    • Every style of theatre has its different aspects, but even the Absurd should have a certain aspect of rhythm and flow - Dissonance
No matter how badly you are feeling, DO NOT GO TO THE NURSE!!

Themes - should have included more water themes and in explaining the motif of water
  • EX: Water sound effects and symbols
Needed to create dimensionality and symbolism through lighting
  • First Priority - visibility
  • Although symbols and exploration of themes are also extremely important
  • Constantly stayed in 2 Dimensions
Patterns
  • People constantly try to look for patterns
  • should be seen throughout your performance
Sounds
  • Where you would like to direct the sound towards
  • In which area and placement of sounds
Characterization
  • Color-Blind Casting - Was not possible to Color-cast
    • needs to still stay true to the plans of the playwright
