PLAYWRITING – Day 33
Using one item off our THEATRICALITY brainstorm, we wrote another boy/girl scene (see day 27 – where we wrote subtle scripts where no character gets to say what he/she means…Instead of saying “Will you go out with me?” what could a character say instead? Where one character wants to ask the other one out but may not say those words.)
Today we are adding one piece of theatricality to our new script. 20 minutes
Theatricality
1. Stage freezes except for main character
2. Bow-tie laser
3. Animals talking
4. Animated inanimate objects (talking squares)
5. Portals
6. Time-travel
7. Talking conscience
8. Flying
9. Weather
10. See dreams
11. Fantastical creatures
12. Magic
13. Blending into background
14. Music
15. Waves/water
· Before reading the following scene from a play, please note that there is a lot of literal bell ringing in the script and it is important for someone in the class to either ring an actual bell (from their phone or ipods) or, in the least, say “RING RING” each time the bell rings in the script.
· As a class, read ALOUD (abridged version) “The Sure Thing” by David Ives (1988) – from a collection called All in the Timing – then discuss it and identify the purpose of the bell-ringing (aka: the “theatricality” that Ives added)…
