Dialogue, Setting: May 8

DIALOGUE

Read & Discuss (CP) David Ives

What is the setting? 
How do the scenes work? 
What devices are used to advance the scenes? 
How does the dialog operate?

JOURNAL HOMEWORK: Go to a place you have never been: overhear dialog. Transcribe.

SETTING/CONTENT

Notice how the setting is, or is not evoked in the monologues written in class. 
How does setting work in David Ives? What does it add? How did it work in Sally Clark's play? What would be the essential elements on stage? 

JOURNAL HOMEWORK:  Go to 3 new places and describe as if they were a setting in a play. How would you make a setting work on stage?
