[ExilesAnnounce] Help needed for Orientation THIS FRIDAY EVENING

[Val Langmuir]

The next Orientation is coming up soon!  We need volunteers to make it
happen!  Can anyone help out?  

 

When: October 5, 7:30 pm, The Women's Bldg, 18th Street near Valencia in SF.
Volunteers should aim to arrive by 7:00 pm, especially if coming by car.  We
will be done and out of there by 10 pm.  

 

Here's what we need.

1 person for Admin. Running door - taking $$ - getting waivers signed -
signing up members at the end

 

3-6 people for speaking roles.  There is a script to follow; improvisation
is allowed and encouraged.

Narrator - Arguably the most important role.  This person welcomes folks;
explains definitions; bridges the skits; explains, using a volunteer, the
safe places to hit (not demo); pulls it all together.

Acting part 1 - Experienced Bottom.  Acts in every skit; bottoms to "Pick-up
Top" in a short ~5-minute demo scene.  Should be played by a real
experienced player as this person needs to explain from a place of knowledge
(ostensibly to Newbie Top but really to the audience)

Acting part 2 - Newbie Top.  Acts in almost every skit.  Can be played by a
person with almost any level of experience.  Should have some experience in
order to understand what questions to "ask".  This role does not have any
play in the skits, so need not be played by an actual Top.

Acting part 3 - Pick-up Top.  Negotiates with, and then Tops, Experienced
Bottom in a short ~5-minute demo scene.  

Acting parts 4-6 - DM (1 skit); Flexible Switch (1 skit); Obnoxious Top (1
skit).  These roles could also be played by Narrator if need be.  

(Optional) Shadow Players (1-2 pairs of actors) - play out a series of very
short scenes watched and described by Experienced Bottom and Newbie Top

 

Other things to know about the roles: Pick-up Top and Experienced Bottom
need to be willing to play with each other.  It helps if you already have
chemistry.  To do shadow play, you need to have a partner to do it with.

 

I am already committed to being there and I have one other definite
volunteer.  I will probably play a speaking role, depending on who else
volunteers for what.  None of the roles is firmly taken at this point.  We
still need at least 2 more people to make this a success.

 

To volunteer, please contact me off-list.  vlangmuir at webkennel.com 

 

Thanks!

Val

Your Orientation Officer
