  3. Julius Caesar Project (Erik Christensen, Lakeside School, WA) SITUATION: You are chosen as director to stage Julius Caesar PROJECT GUIDELINES • Decide on a specific contemporary political overlay for Julius Caesar, decide what this would do to change the visual and dramatic aspect of the play, and choose ONE specific scene to demonstrate your vision. PORTFOLIO TO SUBMIT: • Sketches of your costume design for two main characters and the set design for one scene. Label each sketch as necessary to clarify your intentions. • Diagram of blocking instructions for this scene • An exchange of emails in which you and a fictional friend discuss, back and forth, your collective thinking and strategizing for making your vision a reality in this play. Think of ways in which you and your friend can agree and disagree about different issues; for example your friend might needle you for more details, ask you follow-up questions about your concepts, ask how you intend to depict your idea in different parts of the play, ask about lighting and sound effects, and so on. These emails can be of any length, but please provide a few back and forth exchanges to create an engaging dynamic. • Write the very short “director’s statement” in the form of a blurb that would go on the cover of your full report to the board . HAVE FUN! Forsooth!
