Visit a small planet

Elinor Fuchs

He is a person who creates the system. People had used it for several years through how to read a play in Yale University. The questions are mostly for forestall leap to characters. A play he described is people can feel the scripts and times that passes through. The directors should not make too focus on the lines, or then, the scripts are going to be so hard for people to understand. Or they cannot make too much focus on the characters so it will be too easy for people to read. In order to make this play well enough, we should mold the play into a small middle ball, and squint them into our eyes so it can be easier to see the entire planet. We should then ask ourselves about what is the planet like(interior or exterior, well built or natural….). Does it have any lands, valley, river, mountains, desert? Afterward, we should ask about the time such as how does the time go on this planet? By clock like us? Or by the sun? Or by Moon? There is a different type of ways that can track the time. Moreover, what is the mood for that specific planet, is it joyful, serious, ironic? Change through colors, light, or sounds? Don’t decide what’s there so soon enough because you might want to add something more. Also, ask more questions about the characteristics in other worlds that you have unseen. Finally, listen to the sounds from the world, and decide what is the pattern will be in the mourning, celebration or incantation.

Then, look closer to the world that decides what social world it would be like such as decide is it going to be a public or private world like sharing the information or just keep close. Also, what will the classes arrangement based on the aristocratic, popular sovereignty, or monarch? Is it going to be arranged with by individuals or groups of people? People are going to fight against to discuss the topic or sit down? What would be people be like? Two or three dimensional? And what would they dress? Who is the most powerful people on this planet, and how does he or she achieve it? What languages they are communicated through? Is it from monologue? Or dialect? Or dialogue? What would the languages be like? Colorful? Or monochrome?

From what changes: we can have a basis about what changes in the landscape of this world?  The disaster? Or the science? And does it move from inside to outside?

From small details into bigger details? What changes in time? Does the time move from the dawn to dusk? From morning to midnight? And those changes either reflect or contribute some to the characters on the planet. What changes in the action? Have we moved from confusion to comedy? From threat to peaceful celebration? From threat to disaster ? From suffering to rebirth? What does not change at all?

Squint one more on the overall picture, putting all thing together and start to discover the myth around it. Seeking what changes, don’t forget to ask what changes in you, the imaginer of worlds. Important as these internal systems are, dramatic worlds don’t just speak to and within themselves; they also speak to each other. Now you have everything, so then, you can put down characters which fit into this world. And start to think what would the character’s actions, reactions, movements, thinking prospectives under the world.
