1. The issue, need, idea, or opportunity addressed by this project is to make communities aware of the L.A. riots and share how the past was and is still. Also, this project gives students the opportunities/ability to express their frustrations and know that they are supported the entire time. Not all students will fully understand but its about the process and learning to make a piece and ask questions etc.
2. Some mediums and techniques used to embody the content were...informing the student or actor about propaganda and who did it, what they were saying etc. Another technique used was simply asking questions to one another and themselves; "who do we trust in moments of crisis? How do I make choices amidst all of the contrary information?" So on and so forth.
3. To help us understand this project the author included pieces from the play to give us a better understanding. They also explained who the characters were and what type of personalities they had. And then how they would go about creating this show and what challenges they would face or expected to face along the way.
4. Anyone can be affected by this project no matter who you are. I think it hits a little sore spot in everyone's eyes. And although teens were chosen to affect people with this show I also think anyone could affect another person simply with the words written in this play.
5. This project was created for the Plaza de la Raza Youth Theater Program for teens in all different art "groups." Working along side them are students and faculty members from CalArts.
6. To get community members and other people involved in this project they wanted to create a series of questions, offer multiple points of view and encourage dialogue. And the goals of this project were advanced by hiring a professional playwright and asking and listening to people's stories and videos of different encounters they've had. This helped to draw people in and get more support for the project.
7. For recourses they asked many different people about their experiences, read articles, watched new clips and segments and then talked about their own encounters and frustrations.
8.The projects objective was to incorporate the Joker system and to recognize the value of the plays and students, and for their opinions and voice's to be heard in it as well.
9. The results was neither a "pass" or "fail" as stated in the reading, because it is something that should be and will be rehearsed over and over again and discussed over and over again. But the students did get very involved and spent a long time discussing their views and what they would do for different scenarios, so in that case I think they met their goals.
10. The projects guiding values and core beliefs were to inform the actors and students about what they are saying, who said it first, and why they said it/are saying it. Then it is to stick to the politics while also being careful to not offend anyone. And to alleviate concerns and make the audience feel comfortable.
