[Newspoetry] Performance Meeting Notes

[gillespie william k]

Here are scribblings from yesterday's Betsyworld Summit:
Please add/edit/comment.

Would anybody be interested in having a meeting to fine-tune our plans in
the early evening next week? Also to rehearse songs and poems with
more than one voice? Staging even? What days work/don't? They're all the
same to me.

Tech considerations: 

Will Kord be available/interested?
Recording audio and video separately...
Should we attempt a converting-video-to-realmedia runthrough to make sure
we know what we're doing?

Crazy Ideas: Have a halogen lamp / overhead projector outside to project
images/shadows on the window behind the performers, like the screen that
appears behind newscasters...

Easy ideas: Have Mike's big old-fashioned typewriter onstage

Print out indices by title, form, so people can call out for poems...
