A discussion of intertitles (title cards) by some of the co-creators of Keystone Theatre's The Last Man on Earth, premiering at the Toronto Festival of Clowns, June 2 and 5 at 6:30 PM,at the Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement (6 Noble Street, Toronto, ON) . "In a silent film, whenever something is unclear, or when there is an important piece of dialogue, a title card is added to make sure that that audience can follow the action. These were added after filming was completed, when the filmmakers could watch the finished product to decide where things were becoming unclear. In the work that Keystone Theatre does, where we create plays in the style of a silent film, we have to work out early on where these title cards will go. How many cards, which cards are most important and where the cards should go is something that can lead to much discussion. Especially when we use Keystone's 2009 production The Belle of Winnipeg as a barometer." For more information, go to www.KeystoneTheatre.net
