This week, our big section was B1 of the director's notebook about the creative interpretations and brainstorming for our play. I struggled a bit at first to get started writing my ideas down, but after about the first paragraph, I had a good idea of how I wanted to finish. For our mock director's notebook, the play I'm writing about is Lysistrata, which plays on the negative influences of war. To reflect this theme, I had to choose an action that was also just as long and tragic as the Peloponnesian War that the play initially takes place. I wanted to think outside the box and research a war that I hadn't researched previously. So I picked the Southern Lebanon War that has overlapping themes with the Peloponnesian War with the length of both and the lack of respect for women. The part of the assignment that I enjoyed the most was talking about how I could reflect on these themes through color. I wasn't sure if this was too specific to be in this section. Still, I enjoyed looking at pictures and standard colors that showed up in them and how they would reflect the play's feelings. For example, in many of the images that I looked at, soldiers would be in dusty towns, so to reflect that, I picked mostly browns to reflect that dusty and dirty feel of the soldiers' situations during the war.
