Friday 3rd May Book’s exploring:
• Moby Dick (MOMENT)• The Great Gatsby (Downtown LA, hyped, gangster)• The Outsiders• The Notebook (not so big transition)• 50 Shades of Grey (MOMENT- sex dungeon crump robotic dance)• Of Mice and Men (MOMENT)
Follows the boys (characters) own lives, and the events at their book club as they explore these books
Lots of transitions between moments - which they want to explore
Want a table on the set, on wheels that moves around - transformer table, will need to be lit at some point. Potentially removing OP wall from set
What the characters are all about: Fetu - secrets and sexuality Albert - women and image Denzel - being a good man, and what that means Jacob - change and driven by future Luis- friendship and mental health Izzy - second chances and redemption Darius (new character) - privilege of young men in Aus
Lighting: - During the transitions: “all of the colours and all of the things”, quick, fast- During the exploring the books moments: heightened reality, pushed to limits- During the dialogue scenes: reality, general washes, simplistic- During the rap scenes (the ‘numbers’): think lots of light, think concert, colour, big lightshowCONTRAST
Tuesday 7th May Reality Setting à Public school classroom. Each world has its own state What is the trigger to change??? Hard transitions vs soft transitions throughout
Classroom to Moby Dick song (HARD transition) Moby Dick rap -> end transitions into classroom

Thursday 9th May What are we showing?
When? Activities? Meaning Pre-Show: audience coming in
Basketball, Speaker and music, Chilling out, Playing cards, Dancing/moves
Feeling part of ‘the boys’, More about the boys NOT books, about people
Audience In Acknowledgement of country
Jandai language. Hard barrier after acknowledgement
Other welcomes Arabic, French, Cambodian, Samoan, English, Kirundi, Mauri, Spanish, Tagalog, Kiswahili
Scenes: 1. Preshow à Freestyle rap à Ethan Rap à Acknowledgement2. Rules of book club (scrum, fundraiser fucked up, “ya fucked up”, party (shots)à
Moby Dick scene (work song) à Rap à Chapter 1 (bookclub scene)3. (Flashback within scene) Izzy leaving à Police arrest à Airport à He’s gone à Luis
explains4. Mice and Men (still looking at)5. Disagreement à Disco (still looking at)6. Phone call à My Girl à 50 Shades (still looking at)7. Cassie à Fight à Hospital call8. Notebook à Boys enact à Hospital9. End of book club/ New BBC
The ‘linking’ moments between each scene will be in ‘classroom’ lighting state HLX slightly in at these moments (like 30%) so break the 4th wall slightly
Set electrics à potential use of an old transparent projector with bulb in it, and wanting bulb to turn on (and be controlled by personnel backstage)
Friday 10th May Haze was flagged by Ari and potential of using that as an effect in conjunction with the movers/beams - particularly when colour is used.
“My Girl” sequence - romantic pink - all out “Slutty Forest - Tarryn to interpret"

Friday 17th May
Mama’s Boys acknowledgement: We stand here, not in defiance, but as humans, who are grateful for the chance to be here
together. To tell the stories of a brotherhood. Stories are what continue to bring us together. The indigenous people of this land did so, past, present, future, and now that are here, we have a duty to uphold this. To show respect, to pay respect, to acknowledge. Perspective,
unity, understanding. Brotherhood is being able to trust and connect. Brothers always have each other’s back. A collective, a family, a lifestyle. I love you brother.

potentially pump for moby dick and 50 shades. Will experiment in tech rehearsals
