sorry guys, so this is my collage:
Borges, “A Poet’s Creed”
-talks about his experiences as a writer, how along with writing there are many essential moments in life
-talks about that one moment when he was a boy listening to his father read poetry
-talks about Arabian Nights that he followed themes running through the book
-likes Huckleburry Fin because it lends to the imagination- able to imagine floating down a raft on the Mississippi River
-influenced by the idea of Germanism because Schopenhauer, Holderlin, and Lessing
-interested in the poetic harshness of the language that still held some kind of meaning
-belives in the power of the metaphor
-also believes in making mistakes and acknowledging and fixing those mistakes
-the most important part of writing is staying true to the imagination; accounts real situations; tries to think about what he is trying to convey
Pamela Howard “Directors and Designers”
-previously the relationship between the designer and director was cooperative; the designer would do anything that the director did
-Giles Havergal and Robert David MacDonald were the first designers/directors that really wanted their sets to speak to the audience
-Philip Prowe’s is a designer that used similar elements in all of his designers but over and over in different combinations
-designers’ tend to be the slaves to the directors- they rarely get to choose to design what they want/or how they want
-designers rarely have a space to put all the components of what makes such a good designer (samples, fabric, etc)
Aronson, “Behind the Screen Door”
-a door stands for much more than the physical but also has a deep meaning symbolizing the unknown, the shut off, the mystery
-the introduction of the door to the stage meant that there was a seen world and a not seen world; it was a divider
-460 BCE the first door was used in Greek tragedy
-with the introduction of the door, dramatists were no longer confided to having to do real time
-allows actors to be able to transform once they walk through the door
-tragedy: doors symbolize death
-comedy: doors symbolize chaos
and these are my notes, enjoy?!
