Can We Even Still Call it a Script?

After another hugely productive meeting on Sunday, we have finally thought through/documented all of the nodes of our performance. Instead of a traditional script with actors and lines, our performance is based loosely on the game Mafia. We have a set group of characters, divided into three groups based on their knowledge of the overall performance. Their actions and interactions trigger events, and hopefully the line between audience and performer is blurred to a great extent.

We also have a rudimentary sketch of what the Video Studio will look like in terms of set design. We will of course be cleaning this sketch up and finalizing the location of our set pieces in the days to come, but being able to see the space on paper was a huge excitement for us this week.

Over Spring Break, we all have our separate tasks to accomplish, whether starting to record some of the audio for the space to making contacts with the Theater Department. Once we return, we have exactly one month until opening night, which is so exciting, and also terrifying.

One final note: We are also looking for a name and description of our performance as Ourobouros is unspellable as well as hard to pronounce. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
