-Today, Eisa Davis from Passing Strange came to visit us! We got to interview her and listen to what it’s like to work with the cast and crew. Eisa, a Harvard-graduate, is currently a successful actress, playwright, and singer-songwriter.

Thanks for your time, Eisa, and break a leg on your final performances!

-We discussed the challenges of our writing.

Assignments 1 & 3 (Email to eric by Sunday!)
Assignment 2 (in your notebook before Tuesday!)

1) Using one [or two] of your reviews, bump up the word count to anywhere from 500-600. (Use the “Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Start to Write About a Performance” sheet as your guide.) Bring two copies to class.

2) Set aside some time, free-write about the face of someone you love for minimum 15 minutes. Go as long as you can. Just don't stop in the time you set for yourself!

3) Write minimum 200 hundred word creative response about what impacted you the most at the MoMA/ P.S. 1. or Robert Lazzarini’s studio. Could be a play, an essay, a poem, a review.... whatever. Just make it powerful. Bring two copies to class.
