Hi

Thank you all for staying for 2 rehersals and 1 seminar today!!

Our busy online and offline lifes didnt leave us the time for discussion.
Thats why I will mail my thoughts to the list
and I would ask you
especially Lee , Juli and Jim
to send me answers and descisions to some issues

- as time pressure exists

1) the characters
it worked out well having boris and twyla renaimed after gods

and I think it could give a strong improssion you using the emote comand
to "speak to eir people"
(great suggestion from juli)

2) but
the way the script is written it sometimes starts with the narrator saying
"the man of many resources replies" ....
but sometimes this is missing
and so MOO audience wouldn know WHO is speaking / whom translations are those

so I would suggest Juli to have one more line before

1st szene
"noman"
"he wailed a great .."
"grant that"

2nd
"I am wishing"

3rd
"the bad shall be "

3) the lack action

will there be parallel websites or not
will MOO MC adress the audience ot look there - I guess not

so we probably need more dramatic action on stage

in the seminar discssion susan said she liked the lines between the talks

those are the lines - tnx to jim - come from time to time
:)
the only thing I do not like about them is that they are randomly and do
not fit into the script

to prevent to have a bot performance
I would suggest to give our 2 gods some lines more
as they are on stage
they "only" have to do the translation

why not let them "do" something in between?
could also be a "parallel plot"

I think that lee will be too busy with RL dramaturgy to think about that
(and he hasnt seen the MOO performance! remember that, that was my
problem the last time!)
so maybe juli and jim could come up with suggestion (of course everyone
is invited) and lee would only jump in if he really hates it :)

if we want to have interactivity with the audience we could even have
our gods going into main floor :)

I am joking - but jim , i was impressed of your demonstration today!!

anyway
maybe another meeting will be necessary before thursdays rehersal
(noon hawaii, midnight linz)

but I really dont know when :/

lets figure this out together

tnx all
yours
Mon
