Dramaturgy Workshop Day 2
For the second day of the pre-fall semester rehearsal and our next dramaturgy workshop, we pulled everyone together to explore a giant map of the expedition.
We shared with the cast several important dates in the chronology of the journey down the river. In their "boat groups," they researched the dates and created small scraps of paper decorated with symbols or depictions of scenes to help them remember those important moments.
Then as a whole group, we plotted these points along the river timeline, placing events of the play within the events of the actual voyage down the river. It was a great way to get a tangible sense of what the characters might have experienced along their way.
