Hi all,
Great work everyone, on the Stage Design presentation. We kicked major ass, we should all be proud of our hard work. Now it's time to present our Environmental Design. It's some how strange since this is the thing we started out with. Well now is the time to show it off.
If you are curious and aren't apart of our group, now is the time to go see the Right Angles' Web Of Ideas. You can follow this handy map!
Right Anglers', remember we will also meet 45 minutes before class on Thursday to discuss our presentation style. We will also touch on our live design project so be prepared to talk about that and think of a time to actually rehearse it.
As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Brian

Thursday's Meeting
ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN:
Spider Webs! Angus is going to buy some string for our webs, we will all have to chip in when he gives us a receipt. Upon the webs completion it should reach about 8 to 10 feet in diameter. Angus, James, and Krys will be starting the build very soon, so contact Krys if you'd like to help.
What you can do in the meantime is start building a bug or two, maybe a book with spiders coming out of it, and bring it the web to hang next week. The suggested medium is papier mache or something equally light where you can write words from our manifesto on it. As you're building, take photo's of your build and post them to the blog.
We will also post some description of our piece to invite people who come upon it to add something to the web. We will also try and document this.
INTERVIEW:
If you haven't yet, please post your questions to the blog.
Dr. Seth Shostak is on travel this week and won't be available for interviews. He will return next week where I will interview him using the questions you post. I talked to Al and Melanie about our scheduling problem and they said it's fine if it's late, they're eager to hear our project. Yay!
STAGE DESIGN:
We briefly touched on the stage design topic. My suggestion, start reading plays and thinking about what shows or concepts you would like to design.
I'm counting on the people in our group, passionate about design, (ie. model building) to have a big hand in this.
Next meeting after class on Tuesday, bring an idea for a Stage Design, remember to show a transition. Feel free to bring in some sketches.
As always feel free to comment or ask if you need anything.
Cheers,
Brian

Meeting Overview
Hey Right Anglers,
Just wanted to post a few words about our last meeting. As a group we came up with an idea for the Environmental Proposal due Thursday. The web's in the environment seems to have won out! We have one student already working on writing it.
As for the interview, we will be interviewing Dr. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute. You can check out his bio at http://wwww.SETI.org Please post your question for the interview to the blog.
If we could please meet again at the end of Thursday's class that would be great to touch base.
As always contact me if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Brian

Meeting Review
Hey,
Great meeting today. We heard some really great Ideas for our Environmental Design Proposal and the Interview assignment. Below you will find a list of the things we were brainstorming about. If you feel like you still want to contribute, please feel free to add something to either list.
BRAINSTORMING ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGNS:
· A walkway that's decorated in some way
· Mazes on the lawn near the ARC Center
· Stick Graffiti
· Clusters of trees and making them not look like trees
· Spider webs strung between trees, possibly above passer-by's heads. We could do this near the bridge by Hahn Student Services, at the tall tree near the music center, there are many places. Things could be "caught" in the webs (ie: books, bugs with writing on the wings, bugs crawling out of books, our manifesto.) We could also place cocoons on or near the webs. This idea was favored, so far.
· In the little ravines we could put Arabian Tents and/or Forts. We could do this in the ravine behind the quarry; behind the amphitheater.
· Inside the tunnel in College Ten we could build a forest
· A shelter in the forest, a fort
If you have any more suggestions or are passionate about one of them, let us know. A few questions we need to answer for this proposal are:
· What?
· How?
· Where?
· When?
· Why?
Some ideas on Interviews:
· Tandy Beal (modern dance teacher)
· Don Williams (theater director)
· New and/or Small Business Owners (we could ask about certain ads they use, how they got started, some of the struggles of being a small business owner, and how design contributes fits in to their business)
· Art Gallery Owners
· DANM (Digital Arts & New Media) Building Designers
· Students at UCSC who juggle kids and school work
· Dr. Seth Shostak (Radio Astronomer at the SETI Institute. SETI's main goal is to be the first to detect a radio signal from an extraterrestrial world. Dr. Shostak also hosts his own radio show and we might be able to do the interview as a radio program.)
· Seth Hodge (a stage manager, also he host Comedy Sports in San Jose.)
If you have any more suggestions or are passionate about one of them, let us know as well.
We will meet again at then end of Tuesday's class to decide on our environmental design, and who our pick is for an interview.
See you Tuesday,
Brian

Wednesday's Review
Hey all,
We had our weekly meeting for theater 10 today. Please remember to post your insights to the blog. It doesn't have to be long it can be a couple of sentences. I think the more we post the more we can start a "virtual" dialogue.
In today meeting we discussed:
· The reading, "World on Stage".
· Our newest member Kyle McElroy
· The inconvenience of Wed.'s at 2PM
· And the possibility of finding a meeting time where we can all meet and discuss our first design proposal.
We will probably not meet next Wednesday. Keith if you can think of another time, where everyone is available for next week, please let me know. If any of you have any thoughts or comments please feel free to email me directly.
