“We Say What’s Acceptable, Which Makes the People Feel Acceptable.” – October 8

We got to programs around 5:55. As we get more members in the room, we start check in. We start around 6:30.

One member leads the ring for the first time.

“I Saw the Stage and Said ‘Honey, I’m Home!'” – October 6

Today, we moved forward with Act 1, Scene 3, which is a very short scene.

After reading it through, the ensemble discusses what is happening in the scene. They seem to connect to Goneril’s anger toward Lear.

One participant said: “She sounds angry, she wants to be left alone.”

A participant: “You rocked that,” she tells the reader.

“This is the First Time I’ve Laughed This Good in a While” – September 29

I ask the group what they want to do today. One participant wants to bring up a concern. She says people are getting bored because we are sitting and reading and talking. We talk about the importance of this part of the process, in which we read the play scene by scene as an ensemble and discuss its meaning, impact, and dreams we have for staging it. An ensemble member advocates in support of this process, while two other ensemble members don’t want to stop much for reflection.
