adiva_calandia*headdesk* *groan* Yesterday I almost slept through a meeting; today I was nearly late for class and I bombed a quiz because I read the wrong piece by the right guy. I guess it was about time I screwed something up.
On the plus side, though, I chose plays for my production history project -- Arcadia for my contemporary play, and Antigone for my classical. Before summer conservatory began,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ghost_light was telling me about Antigone being performed in South Africa and The Island and all kinds of fun stuff, so I'm trying my damnedest to find information on the production that The Island is based on. I'm preeeetty sure I'm going to fail, but Doc suggests doing a production of Antigone from after The Island was first performed, which I like.
And then we started talking about supertextualism, which is why I was nearly late for class (ask me about Othello as Adam!).
batyatoon, I used your argument about art being a different concept from good art/bad art in class today, as re: Marcel Duchamp and his ready-mades. :D (For the record? I'm not convinced that buying a bottle rack and declaring it art makes it art, but I'll go along with hanging a shovel from the ceiling and calling it art. It's a difference in investment on the artist's part.)
Today I go get information on auditioning for the a capella (A Capella?) group, and I have to . . . thing. Write something for Foundations, I think, and read stuff for Religion undoubtedly, but I'm already done with my Critical Thinking homework. Win.
ETA: *GLEEFACE*
Homework for Foundations, it turns out, is reading the Natyasastra -- that is, "the science of theatre," and specifically, the story of the Natyaveda.
Ancient India AND theatre? Guh. I'll be in my bunk (highlighting).
