 What are some considerations you need to make when designing the set at an outdoor space?


 Some of the sets will need to double up or have multipurpose in order ti save as much space as possible.   




What are some characteristics in the ancient Greek Theatre design that you want to maintain in your set?
 
-The semi circle stacked seating, with the orchestra and stage.   


Describe the venue at the Singapore Botanic Gardens amphitheatre. How is the venue similar to a Greek theatre? How is it different?

  • Singapore Botanic Garden Amphitheatre is a big open-air theatre for everyone to sit down at the grass floor or with their mat to listen to the concert that will be played at certain days and certain timing. 


  • Both of them are similar in the way that both of them are large open-air theatre and it is both meant for orchestras. 

  • However, Singapore Botanic Garden amphitheatre are mainly for concert only, which means it is mainly for people to sit there to enjoy the songs that are played by the band members etc while for the Greek theatre, it also have tragedy play beside Orchestra

The set design looks well throughout although the loom could perhaps be in the bedroom portion of the stage as it is normally a solitary event.

More symbols of war could be around the house for example dirty food bowls and glasses the house in general disarray

Jashreena:
The set design is good however, it could have been made more comprehensive and clearer with regards to the labeling of what goes where. The justification is relevant.

Wenhui:
I think that the set design looks fine is just that I thought that if the amour were to be hang up on the wall or somewhere would seem more powerful and the audience can see it more clearly.

For the bed, if possible, I think it should have 2 separate beds instead of 1 to show "the lack of intimacy between man and wife due to the war". And also include lighting.

Boon Hock:
Overall of the set design looks nice but can include more furniture to increase the home feels]]> 2020-05-05 05:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jashreena/2l2i102s69wgzqla/wish/551115295 Design Concept sybillinatherese https://padlet.com/jashreena/2l2i102s69wgzqla/wish/551120472 The design concept would be a house with each of the objects on stage being symbolically important. 

All the objects on stage will hint at a play theme for example Warfare the husband amour in the middle of the dining table.  

This shows the disruption of family unity due to the war.  Only the bare essential will be on stage so it will have a very spartan design concept everything on stage has a purpose   ]]> 2020-05-05 05:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jashreena/2l2i102s69wgzqla/wish/551120472 Director Vision/How design realizes director vision sybillinatherese https://padlet.com/jashreena/2l2i102s69wgzqla/wish/551124383 Director vision 
Lysistrata is set during a time of war so everything will have to look bare with no frills and signs of excess anywhere. 

The essentials only are present to show the mindset of a country that has been at war for a long time. 

How design realizes directors vision 

The spartan design in which everything on stage has a purpose complements the directors vision of a country at war. Every item is there to advance the story forward. ]]> 2020-05-05 05:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jashreena/2l2i102s69wgzqla/wish/551124383
