GENERAL/CREATIVE INFORMATION:

It gonna work! We had a great workshop tonight. Things were shifted around since we were missing two ensemble
members tonight. The evening began with introductions. Everyone had different history with tarot cards or even
none at all but they are curious. Followed that was a read thru. The post read thru converstation was very informative.
You can see the two characters being juxtaposed in the situations as 1 is the card upright and 2 is the card reversed.
Everyone got to take home a tarot card to reflect on it. We then worked the wands scenes. Elizabeth Quilter drew to
play Wands 1 and Rae Hamiltion-Vargo drew to play Wands 2. Ben Locke is understuding both Wand roles.

GENERAL/CREATIVE INFORMATION:

Tonight, we had the full ensemble! The evening started with a reflection on the tarot cards everyone took home last
night. After that, we went through the Major Arcana scenes one by one discussing what they mean and roughly
blocking them. Some of the cards, such as the Lovers had a fun exxercise incoroparted called the Orbit Exercise.
Once we completed all the scenes, we blocked the Queen of Wands scenes and ended the evening.
