2nd Meeting with the Director.

I had my 2nd meeting with the director yesterday and I feel it went really well. A few practical concerns about my set arose but I they were worked out during my tutorial in the afternoon. I'm really pleased that he liked my set design and I am going to use my mock up set to experiment futher with how the different tales could be told and the particular requirements they may have. I think that I have become much more confident not only in my work but the methods I use to create and develop my ideas. This project has very different and particular challenges that I haven't encountered before but for me this only makes the project all the more interesting. I need to continue to consider the play and the script at all times as I think that sometimes I get carried away with the different possibilities and forget the context of the play. For example, I was very excited about the nun's priest's tale and how I could represent chickens forgetting that it is unlikely pilgrims would be carrying a large beak round with them. Therefore I think I need to just focus some of my ideas a bit more, not forgetting the spontaneous and physical theatre effect that we want to achieve with this play.
