The purpose behind this presentation for theatre appreciation is to evaluate and understand each step in producing a performance. From each point-of-view, the director to the marketing and each in between, we got the see how to breakdown a production before bringing it to life.
My Role
By choosing to do the role of director, I wanted to get a deeper view. Since this is what I intend to do one day for a career, I felt it was my style. Now, if I had the chance to do this again, I would definitely try to understand more how to visually represent the realism from this script onto the stage. I would also go deeper into my concept and add more to my analysis.
Challenges
The biggest challenge I found was deciding the difference between …show more content…
I would say each member pulled their own weight and listened very well. Leia was a big help who also covered not only scenic design, but also the marketing. She was very reliable when it came to out of classroom questions and thoughts we had. On top of that, she accomplished getting both parts done and excellently. Bianca surprised me the most being that she only met us twice out of the three to four weeks we would meet up for a meeting to go over our stuff. She was sick with strep throat so it’s understandable why she wasn’t there. Her poster also had a well thought out plan to her part, the costuming. Michelle had a hard time understanding the lights. After Leia and I walked her through how the lights would be done if we were to put the play on a stage, she didn’t quite comprehend understanding why the lights were dim in the beginning or how to answer how the lights would transition.

I have no problem public speaking or putting myself out there- as long as I know what I’m talking about. To one day be a theatre director for high and eventually college, I can see where having presenting skills comes in handy.

If I had the chance to do something like this project again, I have no clue what section I would pick. Each one is interesting to me so I would be happy either or. If I had to put right now, I would most likely say costuming, though. I feel that’s another way to tell the story all in its own world. The way to have the actors dress tells a lot about them and what’s going on, where’s the play is taking place and so much about the characters in general. It would be interesting to also analysis a script that doesn’t tell how the characters are dressed and figure it out on my own. To dress them how I see them and their backgrounds; like putting a blank puzzle
