This week, I have done a lot of progress on my Designer Project, which I am really happy about.
First of all, I decided to talk to the previous year 12 Theatre students about their previous Designer Project. They both gave me very useful advice, which was exactly what I was looking for. One of them asked me if she wanted to bring in her little portfolio project; I accepted of course, and afterwards she went through it with me during a study hour we had together. We sat down and she talked me through it, she gave me very useful advice which I wrote down in my journal and which I had ignored I should have done. After that, I continued my research and I have now pretty much everything I need. Although, I did struggle with Edward Gordon Craig theories, because I didn't exactly know what it meant by theories. But I have it all now, so it's all good.

I haven't had time to read the play yet which was given to us from our teacher. I have a very organized schedule for these holidays since we have the exams right afterwards, and take them very seriously.

Last Tuesday, I stayed behind school to help out with the play "The Odyssey". With a couple of other people in my class, we helped with tickets, make-up, refreshments... I helped out with all three of them. My favorite one was to check the list of the tickets, and let the people through if they had one. With a friend beside me (we were two for this), I kept screaming to him "Oh my god I feel so professional", "I love doing this","Oh my god this is so much much".  I also loved saying "I am sorry you are not on the list" to random people who tried to sneak in. I was just like a movie!
Anyway, when the play finally started, we had to wait outside and it was the most boring moment ever! I kept asking the backstage people "When is the interval, when is the interval!" I am not a very patient person at all, even though I am trying to work on it and improve my patience. But then I started thinking how things were in a real performance, a professional one, how the backstage people would just have to wait and wait and wait outside while doing nothing. Also, when I kept seeing the children running in and out from the entrances and getting their costumes, I felt so jealous. i wanted to be in that production and I thought it was sooo unfair that only year 7,8 and 9 could be in the cast. I also could see on the expression of some of them that they didn't look very happy to be in it which made me even more angrier and upset!

Anyway, that's about it for this week's blog, nothing special really.
Oh and also, I have absolutely no ideas for what my title can be, everyone else has amazing ones and I can't even come up with one :(
