It was so fun to go on this little hike and notice how the light changes. Even if it was just standing in a couple different directions at the same spot. It really was a great decision to do this walk after the plotting class to get a sense of where the sun (source) is and its angle at the time. The way the sun hits these flowers to the left, I would say are diagonal backs? The sun really outlines these little flowers very beautifully, creating a glowing effect, making them look divine, special, magical, desired. I also learned a lot about the use of gobos in realism, how it's a range of hard and soft edges, not just one consistent outline. I definitely cannot wait until the day we can create a light for the theatre that can work even closer to the sun, filling in the spaces all around. That would be magical. But I suppose we could also just direct more shows outdoors, during the day, noon, and night. (Dramatic Imagination)

Ugh!!! MARTHA!!!!! HOW?!?
Dramatic Imagination:
I definitely got a lot of inspiration out of this book to use more of my imagination, who would have thought. I loved that the book stimulated the creative side of my brain. Especially since many books we read for class is all technical. This was a beautifully written collection of essays and I can see why we are told to read it in multiple classes. It reminds us to bring the art back in the theatre, and process of making it.
Wonderful observations and comments to wrap up the quarter - I really hope this class takes you forward nicely into all the art you create - please keep me posted on all you do!
