thoughts about recent email exchanges by sabina
Ina said, “there is actually a 2-4 times larger version of the Globe to be constructed for the actual performance.” OH GOODY!
Dolgo said there should be a real AV for the ghost–TOTALLY AGREE–if I may–I would like to insist on that!
Ina said, “Passing of beacon along is also a good symbolism,” to denote the AV who is speaking—I do not think this is a good idea. A camera dynamically zooming to the AV speaking is OK but perhaps animations and the AV moving about are our best bet. Not sure how that might impact performance or Ina’s idea or even how to make it work!?!?!
Dolgo said, “I’m 99% sure that the English theaters had no regard for historical accuracy in staging or costumes.” I think this is GREAT news! We can be a lil’ creative in creating costumes and props while staying true to the text and the ’spirit’ of the play!
