Now it has been more than 7 months since Broadway has shut down and in-person theatre is still uncertain. However, throughout all the boundaries I am very excited to see the innovation occurring in efforts to moving theatre virtually. I have loved seeing creators worldwide coming together to produce entertainment once more.]]> 2021-02-02 02:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1151664627 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1151675978 As someone who didn't use technology much before COVID-19, I am inspired especially by TikTok Creators coming together to create musicals such as "Ratatouille: the Musical" and "Bridgerton: the Musical" that can be streamed worldwide in which benefit both the Actors Fund, but the creative minds of the world as well. Lots of shows have been streamed online and technological innovations have been booming in the pandemic. This really excites me! I have loved seeing how no pandemic can stifle the creative minds of the world from collaboration.]]> 2021-02-02 03:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1151675978 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1151683652 This performance in particular excited me for the future of technologically driven shows. Creators from all over the world input their original designs, songs, and talents to contribute to making this dream come to life. The show eventually premiered online with actors such as Andrew Barth Feldman, Tituss Burgess, and Kevin Chamberlin raising over $200,000 for the Actors Fund.]]> 2021-02-02 03:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1151683652 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1151693788 A thespian troupe interviewed 40 people gaining their perspective and impact of COVID-19 and reinterpreted it for the public through a series of monologues.

However, when I sat down to begin writing essays about what I was passionate about, theatre was the only thing I could elaborate on. I am so happy I have chosen this pathway to study because studying the arts not only is unique but it makes you such a well-rounded individual because there are always more aspects to learn. I see myself being very successful within this field. As a Directing and Playwriting emphasis I love seeing the magic behind the scenes before a show goes live and being a big part of the vision. ]]> 2021-02-02 15:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154197401 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154241328 I have always been inclined to a business mindset as well as a very artistic one. As a Directing and Playwriting emphasis I would like to bridge these two passions of mine and eventually start up my own theatre company that I can spearhead. In the next few years at the University of Texas at Austin I aspire to Direct a show of my choosing, gain more experience, and dip my toes into more aspects of the arts that I am not used to performing.]]> 2021-02-02 15:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154241328 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154323325 I would like to start up my own company like Rude Mechanicals (Rude Mechs) which has a lot of our collaborators at UT. They believe creating art through a collaborative and consensus-based process will lead to expansive thinking and the creation of a just world.]]> 2021-02-02 15:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154323325 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154347894 When I first was Directing, my school did not have a class that taught me the ways of putting on a good show. I remember it was a lot of self exploration and planning for my show and this was one of the first videos I remember watching.]]> 2021-02-02 15:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154347894 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154360124 As a Performer and Director I have seen various angles of theatre, yet no matter where you are in a show-whether tech, stage, or production- collaboration is key for success. I think without proper collaboration, a show cannot be great or good. Collaboration is the deciding factor between great and amazing. When you can see that the team trusts one another and is a tight-knit community, even if something fails, it is not just one person that must get up but a group of people there to pick them up again.]]> 2021-02-02 15:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154360124 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154408772 Being Collaborative allows for room for error and experimentation because it is not just one person facing a big project but multiple people with different perspectives and ideas. As best said by Kirk Lynn, "Collaboration is not an activity; it is a way of looking at things." Collaborating with others gains trust, relationships, and variability in a show. It is deeply important to work with others rather than try to face a large task alone.]]> 2021-02-02 16:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154408772 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154506971 I included this podcast by Artist Soapbox we listened to in class because it inspired me and made me really think about just how collaboration affects a performance.]]> 2021-02-02 16:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154506971 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154530991 I included this picture from a scene in "Moulin Rouge: the Musical" because it depicted how collaboration aids in not only the behind the scenes, but character motivation and guidance when aiming for an objective.]]> 2021-02-02 16:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154530991 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154540994 In my specified emphasis I am more inclined to Directing than Playwriting. In High School I was given the opportunity to direct my own full-length play. There I was able to see how it was first-hand Directing a show and collaborating with other specialities. However, as a practice for things I am not great at, I set aside some time each more to free write in hopes of fueling that playwriting desire and success. ]]> 2021-02-02 16:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154540994 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154558384 Activities such as researching, learning, and practicing are all parts of my habitual inquiries of theatre. As a student, I feel as if I bring my practices forward through my confidence and willingness to learn. I am always eager to learn and do more as a collaborator and student. I have shared some of my work with Patrick Shaw and have been mentored through the semester to do more.]]> 2021-02-02 16:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154558384 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154583199 I included this article that inspired me to write in hopes of growing artistically and personally.]]> 2021-02-02 16:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154583199 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154593879 This article we read in class has influenced me in my practices as a collaborator as well, making me aware of things I should work on to work best with others.]]> 2021-02-02 16:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154593879 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154611161 I come from a mixed immigrant household of Salvadorians and Jews. In this household I was taught to always stay true to my values. My work has always surrounded Family, Creativity, Humanity, and Connection. I love directing pieces that make an audience member reflect on their own life and its values. ]]> 2021-02-02 16:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154611161 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154633924 The values I display as a producer and collaborator show who I am as a person but also who I want to work with. I understand that everyone comes from a different background, however, keeping to to my values in my work is very important to me and I enjoy finding collaborators that match interests with me as well. I hope to one day display these values of mine proudly in my own theatre company.]]> 2021-02-02 16:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154633924 kaylastewart6 https://padlet.com/kaylastewart6/feilt4268mtc8mvl/wish/1154653816 In High School I chose to direct "The Giver" by Lois Lowry and Eric Coble.
