We are all so vein!

This week (12th - 16th March) well actually since it is Monday it was last week.

We got our IB Theatre Display up more or less and we were introduced to Set Design!

Tuesday (13th) was the first lesson of the week and instead of moving straight on from our Devised Blood mIST piece we took a detour down the route of creativity and we all decided to create a big-ass display to show our pretty amazing time during IB Theatre! So Tuesday was a planning lesson, what we would have, how big it would have to be, what goes where and this is what we came up with at a prototyping of what the display would eventually look like:

And that is where we pretty much got to during the lesson, but I had a study and a free period at the end of the day so I spent two hours working on my section of the display which was the section on ISTA (when we went to London with TaPS ISTA) adding pictures, captions and quotes all around to show the fun we had and what we had learnt.

Wednesday (14th) we really wanted to get everything at least stuck down and glued ready to be put up, which we managed to just about do, just a slight stick here or there left but overall it was looking pretty dang good, and by no time it was ready to go up. Wednesday after I stayed back at school to help out during the school play "The Odyssey" which I am stage manager for so I was annotating the script making sure what flats have to be on when and what not, and also I have to get a team together which I may need help on since at the moment there is me and two year 10's helping me currently.

Theatre Versus Oppression - The 2 Richards!

Wednesday night was a blast, Georgia, Spencer, and myself all went along to the "So you think you can count?" maths night to help raise a little bit of money for Theatre Versus Oppression (TVO) since Mr. Fearnehough will be going to the Ugandan refugee camp they raise money for in August and so we wanted to get a bit of fund raising going before the big IST'S GOT TALENT! fundraiser. We raised 164 Euros in total, all three of us were blown away by the generosity of the people there (every if some did ask for change)!

Thursday (15th) there was not a lesson but Georgia and I decided to use up our Biology Higher Study to put the entire display up on the display board. We came over a few problems such as most of the staple guns in school don't seem to work and the one that does shoots double stables, a certain high mathematics student counted the size of the board wrong so we kinda ran out of space on one of them and had to slightly cut it up. But other than that, all was good! The display was done...mostly we were just missing a title which is on its way cus we want a SUPER 3-D TITLE OF ULTIMATE DRAMA AMAZINGNESS!Now for the Grand Reveal. This is the IB Theatre Year 12 Amazing Supercalifragilisticexpialidociously epic display of Epicosity: 

THE DISPLAY! (There you go Spencer!)

Amazing? We know. The title at the moment is temperamental but we are getting there.Friday (16th) we left our display hanging on the wall majestically and moved on to a new topic of Set Design (Scenography) where we began to learn the basics of how colours and lines can completely change the atmosphere of a piece. It seems like it will be a really interesting thing to do, can't wait to get stuck in!

Sunday (18th), I was also at school for "The Odyssey" where I went through the whole script and found out how big my job actually is with like 3 weeks till the actual performance I've got alot to do. So BRING IT ON!

Thats it for this week, been mega fun, blasting music out whilst making our display, and starting a new topic! So yeah, successful week!
