love that idea.... we could even have each player do a few chosen lines from one of the plays as they exit... a "mash up" of selected lines from Shakespeare's plays.... I was reading an essay last night on the phrase "Et in Arcadia ego" for a paper I'm writing, and the author, describing Poussin's "The Arcadian Shepherds," described one of the duties of art as "allowing communication about the unutterable." I thought of Bottom's dream again ("no words of me") and then had a vision of the performance beginning with everyone asleep on the stage, everyone a Bottom, waking up to attempt to describe a most rare vision, then rushing off to get Peter Quince and the gang to start rolling on that play and that ballad (or ballet, as you like). Telling the story of the dream through the play and playing. cs On May 5, 2010, at 12:17 PM, Mike Godwin wrote: 12 satyrs, final scene) II.vii. song-and-dance Isabella's virginity, Isabella and Claudio imagine howling. better than Kerrigan!)

Hey Week-longers! Mary, Alice, yours truly and a few other happy task makers have thought up one more thing for us to do once we are thrown together for our reunion week. IMPROVISATIONS of course! What would our nights be without them? Boring if restful. Anyway, we thought we would thrust the task of coming up with clever little improvisations on other people -- namely all of you. Alice suggested that KATHY and JACKSON lead us in our improvs for the very first night we have the Barn to ourselves. Although I have to admit I don't know exactly what night that might be -- the The 8th? The 9th? The dates matter not. What does matter is the sense of extreme urgency this news is bound to inspire in KATHY and JACKSON since the imaginary improv ball is now in their court. We need volunteers to lead improvs after KATHY and JACKSONr their magic on the rest of us. Who wants to take a stab at it? Do reply to this list -- not to me, though. I like delegating. So let's say, if you want to volunteer to lead improvs respond to this list ATTENTION KATHY and JACKSON. No,no. That seems too unfair and will only add to their panic I'v got it!! Send your replies ATTENTION: MARY AND ALICE, since they were the sly boots who made the suggestion in the first place.
