From "Poem/Post" to "Twitter Political Theatre": On to Step Three

On to step three in our Election 2010 Social Media Experiment! It looks like we'll be using all  of the Twitter poems we harvested during the mid-term election as elements in the theatrical version of this brand-new media thing we're all exploring together.

That means we've got 31 original tweets with which to work, plus 11 cultivated tweets culled from other sources. Depending on how the performance piece evolves, we may or may not incorporate those culled items.

I'll get to work on a narrative frame for the theatrical "product" -- my goal is to have a first draft done by December 15th. I'll announce it via Twitter and then post the entire "script" on this blog, so we can take your comments and suggestions for a couple of weeks before wrapping it up by early January 2011.

It would be especially nice if we could have the performance piece ready for a public reading by the time these newly elected law-makers are sworn in, eh?

More later,
KSH.
