Week 10: Nature Walk and Wrap Up!

This quarter has been one of my favorite experiences in school by far. I designed a DCP of two one acts of which I had never designed two shows on one plot. So that was fun, and a definite learning experience. I took a beginning directing class and got a whole new perspective on viewing theatre. I was a light board operator for a first time designer, and a light board operator for a graduate designer for the last production of the 2013-2014 year. During that I designed an independent project for two second year graduate actors, which turned out much better than expected. Then there was this class which was a bit of review at times but others it was all new which was amazing to hear first of all is the way that Lonnie explains things during class. He makes it completely easy to follow along and there were never times where I didn't understand something. The other part of this class that made it such a fantastic class were the different perspectives that came from my classmates. It was such a rich environment to be around and it made my quarter. 

Now the last "field trip" was a nature walk in Costa Mesa. Now when I'm outside I do notice the difference in light on people, but something I don't notice is how it looks on the bushes and trees or on the ground. Also the way the shadows changed the color of the ground was interesting to note. Apart from a refreshing walk, there was also so much to learn.
