WE WILL NEED A NEW SECRETARY FOR THE WINTER!

Idea: at the end of the classes we should have some form of assessment to see if, and what, students learned. this will then provide data to show BYU-I that we were effective and gain more of their support. or if we find we weren't effective, it will let us know so we can improve.

Tech Core class outlines:

Tech safety= Lecture on safety and overview of tech theatre. provide information on why actors should know this stuff too. will include a theatre walk though (class split into 4 groups for more intimate experience) showing where the sound and light boards are located, how the light grid works, and explanation for the practicality of the Black Box.

Theatre etiquette = including headset, how to act backstage, why you should pay attention

Theatre Hierarchic:= Lecture to inform of the hierarchic, then have students demonstrate how all jobs are connected and how they contribute by playing the machine game.

Sound/light board= We want to talk to bro. clifford to find the most effective way to do this.

Light instruments: What are they? When do you use what instrument? How to hang lights.

We still need to come up with the acting core classes, and we need to schedule the classes.

our class list as of now consists of:

Tech- Safty, etiquette, tech jobs, theatre hierarchy, theatre as competitive arts, lighting, sound

Tech specialty- Lighing design, sound design, props, costume design, set design.

Acting- Subtext, characterization, body work, movement and prop movement, perfessional theatre.

Costume: BRIEF history of costumes, how to draw costumes, stress research. talk about how props affect character. discuss the difference between a hand prop and a dress prop.

Thursday we continued to work on the handbook outline.

we have the outlines for the Mission statement and organization of the camp. however we still need contact numbers from all the participating members.

We specifically wrote out basic outlines of the different roles that are played in the camp (such as director, councilors ect.)

we also have the outline for check in, councilor training, Councilor Devotional, Meet your Councilor, parent and guardian release forms, summer youth program room assignment form, and GTC Check-out.

However, we still NEED the rest of the example sheets from the AFY handbook!!!

We have three meetings left before the end of the semester. By next week we would like to have a rough finished version of our handbook to turn in.

We also need to know who will be participating in the actual camp durring summer '11. We will need phone numbers for documentation.

Katie is trying to talk to Bro. Clifford to discuss the concerns about teaching these students, and our proposal, and practicum ideas.

we also want to get a hold of someone (Katie is going to see about her sister) to help film and edit a promo video for the camp.
