Theatre Troop! *actors, writers, poster artists- helping hooves required!*

Ookani's picture
*Altering this to include participants, cast, etc.*

We have Seed the Bard, Iaurdagnire the Wise, who respectively write lovely poetry and prose. We have a game, with a host of actions, reactions, and combos to create a vivid dialog without text, and we have a creative player base.

Let's make a deer acting troop!

=The Plan=
We will use pelts, masks, antlers+adornments, and other spells as 'costumes'. We will put a 'play program' on the community website in the form of a blog post, with poster and information of showing times, naming the characters and who they're played by, and a little about what happens in the story.
We could redo works of Shakespeare, or collaborate on our own tales!

=Who's Involved?=

Cast (deer names):
Zelig
Oberon
Adonis
21
(Ocean's deer)

Research:

Writer(s):
Seed(? or did you want to act?)

Artistry:
21 (possibly =D)

Stage Hooves:

=Current Projects=
None =P

Can I ask everyone to make little roughshod applications for your deer for this? I don't need to know much, but you should know that it's likely you'll need a fastish computer to be able to be an actor in the forest. Just stick something in a reply, like your deer's name if they want to be an actor or writer, or your own info if you'd like to volunteer by designing posters for the event, or provide artistic interpretations of how the plays would look (ie if you're an artist) Or what have you.

I had an idea for the troop's first production: Orpheus and Eurydice, also known as "Orpheus in the Underworld". It's where Orpheus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus) goes into the underworld to find his wife, Eurydice, after she dies. He finds her, and pleads with Hades to let her go, and he allows them to leave, on the condition that Orpheus could not look at Eurydice until after they reached the surface. Unfortunately, he looks, and Hades whisks her away again.

We'd just need to put our antlers together to figure out how to portray that through movement. If we could just make sure someone had the zombie set for Hades, or possibly the Skull/zombie antlers/DotD skeleton pelt.

I would participate but I'm 99% sure I would get very very confused. XD

Do you mean acting out in the forest?

Yeah! Holding little plays

Yeah! Holding little plays in the forest. I don't know, maybe in the playground, or by the pond. We'd have to find a good spot.

If anything, I just want to know if anyone would be willing to sit and watch a play like that.

I thought about behind the oak- then we could use the oak itself as a kind of 'back stage' area.

I would make a new deer for this, seeing as most of my deer have...well, something wrong with them. |D
I'll work on it and get back to you.
I might also be able to help out a bit with writing the plays.

You know what that picto

You know what that picto reminds me of? it kinda looks like a tilted masquerade mask, the one that just covers around the eyes, or like glasses.

This seems like an awesome idea! My name is Theatre, after all xD
I'm sure my doe Taffy would /like/ to get involved, but doesn't have the motivation nor the time right now... It's tempting, though.

Also, if that deer mysteriously disappears, Ocean-deer [who BADLY needs a real name] will fill in. ^^ The Picto'd be the one on my profile.

Just to clarify, while I posted the idea, I seriously don't think I could run it all by myself XD I'd need lots and lots and lots of help. I dunno, maybe after christmas we can start?
