Notes+(10-12-2010)

Stage: - Stage is now at 8 inches -**JUST A THOUGHT** Can we rotate the stage 45 degrees so that there would be a more dynamic space? - Problem: This means that the hashigakari would have been on a side of the stage and not one of the corners. - Problem: This takes away from the presentational feel of the stage we have now.

Speakers: - Josh: Thought about it, still think that the speakers need to be scenically made (they need to look the same) - Anthony: There are only two models of speaker in which there are 7 that we could use. - Katie: No problem with the speakers being artificial, but they should make sound. > Putting a real speaker on top of the artificial speakers is fine as long as the illusion is there.

Floor treatment: - If the the floor is going to look dirty than it needs to have a strong underlying tonality (more color/vitality) - Josh is going to move forward with a mixture between the color/tone of the red floor and the roughness/color of the yellow (skin tone) floor. - Spots where furniture has been will be more saturated and darker.

Leaves and Snow drop: - We have a snow drop, but is there room for a leaf drop? >Jeremy & Josh: - Can we have the leaves that are falling painted black and shiny ("dewy") - This gives an abstraction to the falling of leaves. - Also, Anthony can add an abstract, sonic atmosphere to the falling of leaves - One colored leaf will fall on top of the black leaves.

Costumes: Proprietress: - dress can inflate - fan is struck

Female servant - dressed in a studded denim onesy.

Lady Han: - plug in, light up cape (unsure of where she'll plug in yet) - Cape should zip off of her shoulder piece (someone will need to help fully remove her cape) - the head piece is composed of large, gold studs - her fan will attach to her head piece at the conclusion and light up - All women are wearing wigs (except for the chorus)

Yoshida and his servant: - 50's, streamlined, normal guys - his fan is going to be a folded piece of newspaper - the fabric will have some shine to it

Chorus/Anthony: - "roadies" of the show - two actresses look "kinda Dykie" - shirts are two toned Andy Warhol style depictions of Lady Han - is there a way to make the chorus look grungy, BUT fabulous as well?

Anthony - Six midi keyboards, 2-4 monitors - The brain is in the booth
