Although an extensive part of my work was done prior to the first rehearsal of Julius Caesar, part of the dramaturgical process is being present at rehearsals to offer historical insight and research into any questions the actors or director may have about the play. Below is a calendar of all my rehearsal attendances and a document of answers to any questions posed during or after rehearsal. I tried to attend two to three rehearsals a week according to my work and class schedule and found that they helped me become more invested in the play and renewed my excitement for the research.
I kept a collection of my goals and what I actually completed each week towards my final project. The document is a comprehensive reflection and journal about the dramaturgical process, my research, and overall my experience completing this senior project. It begins roughly in September (although I began speaking with Natalie the previous semester) and continues until the present.

This document contains a record of my goals and objectives for each week that I worked on my senior project for theatre as dramaturg of Julius Caesar. It also describes how much I was actually able to complete that week, and, when rehearsal began, any research questions that the actors or the director had. I used this document as a means of keeping track of my progress towards the end of my senior project.
