My week was completely disrupted by flu, but now I'm feeling better and ready to pick back up again.
I've completed my grant proposal, and in doing so, I was forced to compile images that have helped me visualize my project even better. I also made up some markers for each stop. In my proposal, I wrote a timeline, which I've found helpful to layout:
Tuesday, Nov 17 – Have the marker design and at least 2 stops on the tour completed (content/script). All stops will be chosen. Includes printing the markers.
Tuesday, Nov 24 – First Draft of Map done. All content completed for tour.
Tuesday, Dec 1 – Full tour script completed. Songs chosen.
Tuesday, Dec 8 – One complete stop brought to fruition for refinement.
Also, I'm going to Detroit on Saturday to visit the museums and to do some more in depth research. I'm also going to visit the stops I've researched already, to see how far they are from each other and what is there. Photo documentation will happen, of course.
Markers how? Chalk? Spraypaint? Vinyl? I am interested in how you see this project realized- the full spectrum of the tour. As you are contemplating what is read and heard at each stop, also consider what happens between stops. How much time is there of "filler", and is that time equally important or just used to mingle? Is your tour set-up chronologically or by distance? Really flush out the particulars.
