It’s been so busy lately! School work hasn’t been a problem so much as work has. Since it’s getting close to the holidays, more animals are boarding and I have more hours.
Candace and I built an ironing board yesterday in practicum one. It was a very odd experience, but not as odd as our bed dilemma. We had to remove the bed and all of the headboards and backboards from TAB and bring it to Upton. But, the directing one class was in the theater at the time and we had to be very quiet when we were taking it apart and moving it. Luckily, Candace and I work well together so we were able to communicate very quietly, but that didn’t stop us from having trouble. First, we couldn’t get the sheets off the bed, then , I was having the hardest time unscrweing the headboard, and when we finally got it apart and put the matresses on the cart, we found out they were to wide to fit behind the risers and through most of the doors. We ended up having to pick up and carry them several times!
Lighting design has been very hectic. We have been designing for True West and working on our first light plot, which has been very difficult for me. I find it so much easier to work on the design or rendering aspect of the class than the technical side. Fortunatley, I figured out my design concept quickly, and that helped me with the plot greatly.
Theater history was amazing on Tuesday! We discussed english history and monarchs. We got to watch clips from Laurence Olivier’s versions of Henry V (one of my favorite plays!) and Richard III.
Last Thursday I went to see A Winter’s Tale at Canisius college. It was a lovely production. It began with a black tie christmas party in Sicilia and Bohemia was pretty much a hippie commune. The actors looked like they were having a blast in this production and they also understood the language very well.
