Play Structure
**We couldn't find any information about lights, sorry Ms. Aiellos we tried.
- Lines were blunt, simple, and direct
- They believed that it was "stupid" to say things in more words than were necessary
- There were often long diatribes and manifestos
- Lines were delivered in a presentational fashion
- Emotions and feelings were broad and strong, nothing like the intricate emotions that are expected of realism
- Plays were often short, dynamic, and improvised. Never long, calculated, or static.

Futurist Audience
Our Scene
- We wrote it???
- Sort of got the idea from two actual futurist plays
- Francesco Caniullo -- "Detonation"
- Ruggero Vasari -- "The Anguish of the Machines"
- Pandering to the audience was against the rules of futurism
- Futurism was done for the sake of art, not to make money or for the audience to enjoy
- Performances were meant to shock and provoke audiences
- The fourth wall was often broken
