Great work on the submitted audition self-tapes! I loved seeing what monologues you selected and watching your performance skills develop in a digital format. Only three weeks left of course content! As you move towards the end of the year, please make sure you are caught up on your journals. 

I want to introduce you to more non-traditional theatre in the last few weeks we have of the year. This week we will be exploring the “audience experience”, through an experience I doubt any of you have had. 

Complete the following days in order. I am being vague-on-purpose with this specific theatrical experience and want you to “discover” it on your own. I have had friends who have gone to this show, and I don’t want to cloud your discovery with those second-hand opinions/reviews. 

MONDAY:
Explore the following website for 10-15 minutes: https://mckittrickhotel.com/sleep-no-more/ You should also go to the “About” section at the bottom of the page and read through it. Do not click on any video links on the website should you stumble upon them in order to avoid spoilers.
  • In your journal, what are your first impressions and questions? Discuss the parts of your exploration that stood out to you and/or peeked your interest. This is a half-page journal.

TUESDAY:
View this trailer for Sleep No More. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k12NZLh_Xvg
  • In your journal (and continuing where you left off yesterday), how did the trailer for the theatrical experience change your perceptions? What emotions or curiosities are you left with? Questions?

WEDNESDAY:
View this British news report/advertisement on Sleep No More. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RziojmOarHY
  • Contact a fellow classmate via FaceTime or Zoom. As a partnership or small group, discuss your thoughts and questions about the production. 

With any remaining time in your 25 minutes for the day, start Thursday’s work…

THURSDAY:
Take electronic notes on the following informational text:
https://www.bl.uk/20th-century-literature/articles/a-punchdrunk-approach-to-making-theatre
  • Pay specific attention to the “mask shows” stylistic sections when they divide between mask and active promenade, so that you are focusing on Sleep No More. 
  • Include any answers to questions you posed in your journal in these notes!
  • Submit your notes to www.turnitin.com by midnight on Friday evening. 

FRIDAY:
Meet on Zoom at 1:00pm for a class meeting to discuss Sleep No More and Punchdrunk Theatre’s approaches to creating theatre.
- Meeting information has been emailed to you. 

Make sure you submit your electronic notes to turnitin.com by midnight on Friday.
