Week 7: The One Acts and Tech Prep

Hello! Sorry I am late, I have had no source of internet besides my phone....I hate doing homework on my phone. Anyways, this week was extremely stressful in the lighting world but I am bouncing back! I had a meeting with my production team for Oleanna, and they presented me with the ground plan: and it is off-centered with the stage. I was initially terrified, but took a look and realized that it will work, and I will make it work. I chose all new colors and sources with the help of my mentor. \

Erika's show was beautiful! I knew that she had a panicked moment, and it turned out just fine. Her first composition was fluid and crisp and full of passion, I especially loved the tango scene (though it could have used a little more visibility but that only added to the passion of the scene). The second composition was awesome, the play was very wacky and her lights were realistic with added touches of wackiness (like the tree gobo). I am very proud of her, and can only imagine how great it feels to accomplish such a triumph!! Go Erika!

This week for my design is moving into load-in on Saturday. I still have to fix my cues, and will be doing this on Wednesday after I see the rehearsal on Tuesday. I am so excited and a tiny bit nervous, but I feel that nerves are a necessity at this point. Who wouldn't feel nervous about laying their ideas so vulnerably out on stage? It's different than acting on stage because these are my own concepts. Here we go, wish me luck!!
