Week one

MONDAY

Today I have been dropping in and out of calls about the new season shows to get an idea of the designs and an understanding of the scripts. the calls were all at the same time so I chose to go to the the Sherman shows. Terroir and The electric. I went to the read through for Terroir which was interesting. I also went to the read through for The Ache in the morning but because all the actors were in one room rather than on zoom it was hard to catch what they were saying.

the design presentations were really useful and I made these notes..

Dan and Tierney

TERROIR

S,Loyd

Landscape- climate 20 years from now. What will Wales look like in 50 years time ? The play is set in 2040.How we respond to change when faced with extinction. How the past effects the characters. How parents decisions affect their children's lives.

TERROIR SET

2040- sunset, a bar, raised bay window area, stays the same throughout. a mix of shabby and fresh to show the span of the decades.

The carpets markings are 2m apart to give the actors a guide.

2020- Warm light, a proper pub, lively

2025- hopefull

2030- darker but bright

2040- darker

the light changes to indicate the different times

the space can be lit from underneath to give the effect that they are floating on an island, a feeling of hollowness, isolated. surrounded by water

3 stools, 1 bar, 2 chairs one table.

TERROIR COSTUME

Huw

2020- Polo shirt, 18 years old, smart but ill-fitting clothes

2025- money man successful

2030- a sustainable revolution has happened but he refuses to take part

Matt

2020- Foster kid, skater, makes an effort to look effortless

2025- pub owner, clothes fit properly, bar tender, a strong optimist

Summer

2020- has a kid, caring, 18 years old, 4 year old child, doing well, hopefully, mom jeans, crop top.

2025- smart. things start to go wrong, but she wants to take control

Osain

2020- not as well off as the others, less expensive clothes but always nice to people.

2025- a dad and it suits him, smarter, geography teacher

Claire

2020- doesn't fit with who she is right now, tries to look nice but doesn't quite work.

2025- police woman, come into her own

2030- white shirt, smart trousers

Ffion

2020- Art student, wants to punch a hole for herself in the world

2025- more tired, more muted

2030- more muted and more comfortable with her life and home.

2040 Rhys and Kyra

dressed for hardy weather. government issued, suit for life. tough, practical, solar panels, long journey, sustainable suit, everyone has one.

THE ELECTRIC

Family scale- based on Electra. South end . Loyalty, revenge, change and love.

How can we break the cycle? How can we protect out legacys?

Night club, Fantasy, unreality, stark. holds memory. a space that can shift.

SET

Bar area, dance floor area, door, a pier

Concrete slabs

cracked tiles- bar area

posters and stickers

Graffiti on the bar

neon light- The Electric sign

disco ball

door- glowing light, menacing

Speakers

Screen- can see through it

Columns

COSTUME

Sacha

Weathered and worn, overused, boots, she is apart of the space, wears her dads jacket, she blends into the space. been out for hours, messy and scruffy.

Daisy

Looks comfortable in the space but sticks out with a few more pops of colour. boots, tights, shorts, belt, polo neck top, smudged makeup. been out for hours

Chanel

Trying to look nice, boots, casual, neat, smart, clean, distant from the club vibe.

Den

Very casual, just turned up, hoodie, joggers, trainers, baggy

Joe

Blends into the space, he fits in, visual link to Sacha, leather jacket, ripped jeans, layers.

Charlie

Preppy, pastel, chinos, polar opposite to the space.

Alexa

Charlies twin, reflect each other, cording school vibes, neutral colours.

Andy

police man, uniform, slightly dishevelled, creased, crooked, rookie cop

I went to the read through for Terroir which was really helpful to understand how it jumps back and forth between the decades and so the space we create needs to cater to all of this.

Rapid-Fire Reviews: We Cast Our Vote for ABC's The Mayor and Marvel At How Truly Bad Inhumans Is

New Post has been published on http://gossip.network/rapid-fire-reviews-we-cast-our-vote-for-abcs-the-mayor-and-marvel-at-how-truly-bad-inhumans-is/

Rapid-Fire Reviews: We Cast Our Vote for ABC's The Mayor and Marvel At How Truly Bad Inhumans Is

Rev your DVRs, the 2017 fall TV season is here!

Ahhh, don’t you just love the start of a new season, with so many fresh new shows making their debuts, hoping to earn a season pass from viewers in an ever-crowded landscape. And with so many new series on so many new platforms, it can be overwhelming trying to decide which ones to devote your previous time to, which is where we come in.

Our TV Team is offering up their quick and dirty thoughts on all of the new broadcast dramas and comedies debuting in September and October with our rapid-fire reviews. First up? ABC’s new offerings…

The Mayor Premiere Date: Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 9:30 p.m. Time-Slot Competition: Bull (CBS), This Is Us (NBC), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Fox), DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (The CW) Stars: Brandon Michael Hall, Lea Michele, Bernard David, Marcel Spears and Yvette Nicole Brown

Tierney Bricker: The Mayor earns my vote for the best new comedy of the season. Brandon Michael Hall has charisma for days, and it’s so fun to see Lea Michele play outside of Ryan Murphy‘s sandbox for a change. (But please get her on American Horror Story ASAP, please and thank you!).

Chris Harnick: This is cute and funny and fits right in with ABC’s comedy brand. Definitely poised to be one of the shows to watch this year.

Lauren Piester: If I could hug a TV show, I would hug The Mayor. And I’d hug it so hard that it would be like “This is weird.” It’s nice and timely but optimistic as opposed to depressing, and the cast is delightful. Yvette Nicole Brown might have found her best role yet.

Billy Nilles: Without a doubt, this is the best new comedy of the season. Brandon Michael Hall is poised to be the year’s breakout star as Courtney Rose, the upstart rapper whose mayoral campaign publicity stunt proves more successful than he bargained for. The idea is fresh, the comedy is sweet and charming, and Yvette Nicole Brown, as Courtney’s mom Dina, has never been better. The Mayor absolutely has my vote.

The Good Doctor Premiere Date: Monday, Sept. 25 at 10 p.m. Time-Slot Competition: Scorpion (CBS), The Brave (NBC) Stars: Freddie Highmore, Antonia Thomas, Nicholas Gonzalez, Chuku Modu, Beau Garrett, Hill Harper, Richard Schiff and Tamlyn Tomita

Tierney Bricker: This is not really my jam, but I don’t fault anyone for wanting to put it on their toast, if you know what I mean? You probably don’t. Also, Highmore continues to be one of the most underrated actors on TV.

Chris Harnick: Freddie Highmore is going from killing people to saving people with ABC’s ambitious new drama. FYI: He also said that quote during every interview/appearance at TCA. Some of the other casting for this feels out of place, but if you were a fan of House and Highmore, set your DVR, but be warned: There are still kinks to be worked out for sure.

Lauren Piester: Everything about this show in theory sounds annoying, because the “doctor who’s bad with people but good with medicine” has been done to death (and by the same creator, too). But The Good Doctor is actually sweet and thoughtful and comforting and the pilot might have made me cry just a little bit. Add in the hot doctors sleeping with each other and that’s everything I need from a medical drama.

Billy Nilles: It certainly feels like creator David Shore has done this show before, but Freddie Highmore‘s Dr. Shaun Murphy is certainly much more sympathetic than Dr. House ever was. There’s a lot of heart here, especially coming from Richard Schiff as Shaun’s mentor and protector Dr. Aaron Glassman, but there isn’t much originality.

Marvel’s Inhumans Premiere Date: Friday, Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. Time-Slot Competition: Hawaii Five-0 (CBS), Taken (NBC), The Exorcist (Fox), Jane the Virgin (The CW) Stars: Anson Mount, Serinda Swan, Ken Leung, Eme Ikwuakor, Isabelle Cornish, Ellen Woglom and Iwan Rheon

Tierney Bricker: You know how in movies they will have characters go see a fake movie or play a trailer for a fake movie a la Tropic Thunder? This show feels like that for superhero shows, with Jessica Jones watching for 10 seconds before changing the channel. Good idea, not the best execution, unfortunately.

Chris Harnick: If you are curious about Inhumans, check out Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee‘s excellent Marvel comic series from 1998. That’s my polite way of saying stay as far away from this as possible.

Lauren Piester: I like the giant teleporting dog, I guess. But I also hate the giant teleporting dog?

Billy Nilles: A hero who can’t speak because his voice is powerful enough to destroy planets. A giant teleporting dog. A secret city on the moon in danger of being exposed to Earth. If you want balls-to-the-wall insanity, Inhumans has it in spades. If you want thoughtful writing and production value worthy of the Marvel name, well, you might want to look elsewhere.

ABC

Ten Days in the Valley Premiere Date: Sunday, Oct. 1 at 10 p.m. Time-Slot Competition: Madam Secretary (CBS) Stars: Kyra Sedgwick, Erika Christensen, Abigail Pniowsky, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Francois Battiste, Felix Solis, Josh Randal, Kick Gurry, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Ella Thomas

Tierney Bricker: I feel like ABC’s been looking for a successor to Revenge (but season one Revenge, not the rest of the seasons of Revenge) and I feel like this soapy and ridiculous-yet-totally-watchable thriller starring Kweeeeen Kyra might just be their best shot.

Chris Harnick: Is this this year’s The Family? Seems like it. There’s a solid leading actress (Kyra Sedgwick) saddled with a mystery in a very meh show. Maybe Sedgwick should’ve chatted with Joan Allen.

Lauren Piester: I’m confused…yet intrigued. There is a LOT going on in this show, but if you like mysteries and the entertainment industry, there is fun to be had.

Billy Nilles: This is a very busy premiere, introducing about seven subplots in one hour, and it can feel like a lot at times. But Kyra Sedgwick’s turn as harried TV producer Jane Sadler successfully sheds the image seven seasons of The Closer cultivated and the whodunnit surrounding the disappearance of her young daughter is enough to keep me coming back for me. Here’s hoping the creators keep their word and actually end this limited series after the titular ten days.

Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Premiere Date: Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 10 p.m. Time-Slot Competition: NCIS: New Orleans (CBS), Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders (NBC) Stars: Jason Ritter, Kimberly Hebert Gregory, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, J.August Richards, India de Beaufort, Chloe Easti and Dustin Ybarra

Tierney Bricker: Kevin might save the world, but Jason Ritter’s charm-for-days can’t save this show for me. Womp-womp. Cute yet forgettable, like a straight-to-On Demand movie.

Chris Harnick: ABC is smart to want to be in the Jason Ritter business, he’s one of the most charming actors on TV and certainly the best part of this weird pilot. It’s OK, not great, and not something I will be watching. If you like Jason Ritter, you’ll be into this, for a bit at least.

Lauren Piester: There’s nothing truly objectionable going on here and it could be a sweet show, but something in the pilot felt off, like no one’s sure what the tone is supposed to be. But this is at least better than that other ill-fated guardian angel show with Jane Lynch.

Billy Nilles: This spiritual series, which tasks title character Kevin with having to find 35 worthy souls to help save the world (at least I think that’s what the quest is), will live or die based on Jason Ritter‘s winning charm. He bounces off his supporting cast with ease, generating instant chemistry, but the “guardian angel making him look crazy” schtick could get old fast. Hopefully the show can find a way to avoid that because there could be something really special here if done right.
