>LIGHT CONES -
well... my opinion here is that i like the concept a lot (er... the concept
of having a virtual actor, whatever virtual might mean). i don't know if
the cones are the right choice for VAs or not. some lights (Varilites and
similar 'moving' things) seem to have some life to them, but i guess that
would be lost if they are standing almost still as i imagine they would be
if we follow the chessboard idea. but this problem is a problem of the
chessboard layout, not of the cones. if we were to do a play in which the
spatial relation between actors is not traditional (i.e. an actor speaks to
someone or something that he is not facing but is behind him, above him,
under him or something like that), i guess the cones would fit perfectly.
we could 'map' the real locations of an actor on one stage to any place on
another stage, and the cone would be moving in an almost 'random' kind of
way. but we know (and the audience should know also) that that light flying
from ceiling to wall is following an actor. but then i guess all of you
know my tastes (this kind of thing would be somehow similar to the choros'
'controlled-randomness')...
>*Global venues (RLs).
i'm still waiting for material from Vienna. i made a couple of new contacts
(one of them is very good... the director of cultural matters in the city's
government), but don't want to 'spoil' them showing them some badly printed
pages. i know they will want to _see_ the thing (linz would be great for
this).
>*Assembled text from Cook's translation.
just my opinion here: i'd prefer going on with Homer's words.
>*Choros.
any doubts? i'm all set... when's the performance? <g>
