YEAR 2 -- Making Choices!

Year 2: After you have a solid guiding inspiration, begin making your specific choices for the show. Keep in mind you will have a General description of Design & Technical elements THEN will talk about 2 moments of time.

I would like to see approx. a page on each of the choices
*Staging
*Blocking / Movement 
*Costumes / Hair / Make-up
* Set (and sometimes props)
* Lights / Projections
* Sound / Music
* Publicity (optional)

Make sure you include a variety of images and text! Images include:

• Sketches
• Inspirational Images
• Photographs demonstrating something (ie movement) 

It is ESSENTIAL that you justify in your notes and writing about why you chose what you did!

Here are some pages with examples of images to include:
