Museum day \

To answer the prompt I found these Japanese theater masks in the Victoria and Albert museum and I pictured a recreation of a Long Day’s Journey Into Night. I picture them being used much like greek masks are used concealing the character while also giving a stated frame of their mind. I pictured a Japanese themed set including costumes and set and even choreography. I imagine the demon mask being used to represent addiction and addiction itself becoming a character that has no lines but would creep in and stalk the characters like a ghost. I picture the choreography being much more paced, almost like a dance with swaying. I also think the only way it could work would be to edit the script to fit with the setting more otherwise it wouldn’t flow neatly enough to be plausible. After the VA museum I took a stroll across the street to the Natural History museum. It was terrific and awe inspiring. There was so much spectacle in the museum from the Vault of crystals to the huge displays of animals past and present. The exhibits were amazing, the giant skeletons and recreations were superb and had me smiling the entire time. I also went to the science museum which was full of really fascinating exhibits based around the advancement of technology and the process by which we use them to improve lives every day. The exhibits there were much more informative and interactive. They really let you experience and learn from each display. I went a little wild at the gift shops and got so many crystals and other neat things I could put on a desktop or display table. My favorite though is the grow your own crystals set, which I am looking forward to doing once I’m back in the USA.
