HW Part 1: Director's Concept for Clybourne Park

-->Using the formula we used in class, write a Director's Concept (Big Idea + Intention [the message as to what the audience walks away with]). Include a list of choices as to how your concept would guide your choices.

For example:
DIRECTOR'S CONCEPT: In "The Giver", I want to emphasize how our fear of the unknown allows us to relinquish our individuality and freedom.   

STYLISTIC CHOICES: I will show this through the contrast between "sameness / conformity" and individuality.

Choices: 
Performance: 

• Greetings -- All put up hand as leave & exit
• Apology
• Rituals (dinner) -- Synchronized movements
• Audience in arena staging -- all together
• Audience wears arm bands with logo

Color Scheme: 

• Color vs. White/Grayscale

Costumes: 

• White color, logo throughout

Props: 

• All branded with the logo; devoid of color
• Drone
• Apple (without color) 
• Books (changing from no color to with color) 

Lights/Projections: 

• Security footage throughout
• Color vs. No color
• Bright almost clinical vs. warm, colorful 

Sound: 

• Lack of music
• Sound of drone passing overhead
• Bells, tones that signal something
• Live music at the end of the performance
