The program for the Commemoration of Abdu'l Baha's
visit, one hundred year ago to Philadelphia is coming together very
nicely. I won't go into the long process of its coming together--the
Committee Work, the meetings with Task Force Members, the writing, the editing,
the number of amazing and talented people who've been involved, but I will say
we're getting close!
My name's Bill George and I'm responsible for directing the
program--working with Don Camp, Christopher Bogen, and my Assistant Director,
Susannah Beckett--among many others. Right now we've a "cast"
of twelve readers (five of them youth, Baha'i and non-Baha'i). There will
be live musicians of course, and a choir of children and youth led by
Christopher. Hopefully over the days ahead we can post a few images and
audio tidbits to go with this blog.
In the process of working on the event--which will include
images, music, sound effects and live narration--we create
"sketches" of how the words and sound might fit together to tell the
story of Abdu'l Baha and His journey to Philadelphia so that we can rehearse and
eventually assign images to accompany the "ideas" in the text.
The following is an early sketch of what the "First Narration
Sequence" might sound like.
