Discussion & Ideas
A general organizational point:
Breaking the site down into modules makes a lot of sense, but I think we should organize them somewhat hierarchically. To achieve the objective we discussed at the June 12 meeting, of making this both a research and a pedagogical tool, I think we should perhaps break the lot down into three groupings (this is off the cuff, but perhaps something like "Venues and Audiences," "Text into Performance," and "Gender" or, more broadly, "Casting" [in which case we could throw the doubling module in there]). The lead items in each of those categories would be "research" or documentary modules, such as "Clowning" or "Gender" or "Venues," which would then be accompanied by more interactive modules, such as "Performance Analysis" or "Doubling" or "Blocking-Setting" (although that obviously could just as easily go with "Text into Performance"...).
