Week 6

Hi All!!

This is a big week!  We all have a lot to do, but also an afternoon off on Friday!  : )
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
1) For tomorrow’s showing, please meet at 11am at the High Line’s southern entrance (near Gansevoort Street).  The showing will begin at 11:30am, if you would like let invited audience know.
2) Our Meet & Greet with Neil Greenberg’s New School class is sadly cancelled. But the show is still on!  : )
3) After your outline meetings, you should start writing your rough drafts.  Do not delay!!
 
4) After three heavy reading and lecture weeks, we are back to MGF and guests!  Please be sure to actually go to MGF on Friday (not Gibney!) and to prepare for Noemie LaFrance’s visit.  We will expect each of you to have formulated questions to ask her based on your perusal of her website and search of videos online.
REMINDERS:
 
1) If you would like Adrienne to serve in any special role assisting in your High Line work, let her know ASAP.
2) Your first “logs and proofs” deadline is October 2.  On that date, Al will be collecting receipts, programs, etc. (any tangible item) showing that you have attended performances and fulfilled your viewing requirement.  We’ll also be reviewing your google drive logs.
3) The stoop sale is Saturday morning.  Please reply to Hans’ email ASAP letting him know what you are making/bringing and what shift you are available to work.  Remember that this stoop sale subsidizes your Then She Fell tickets ($30 per person!).
