As a lighting designer, I constantly devise new work through light and create stories through beam, color, and angle. However, after devising my piece in this workshop, I feel that I can push the way I devise my lighting more into an abstract idea and less literal. I was able to work with sound, props, movement, and lighting in my devised piece, this now helps me understand how to create art from a written piece of text and turn it into something on stage. It also helps me as a technical director because I am able to turn multiple areas of theatre into one piece and create it in a way that shows the audience how abstract your brain can be, just by telling the story without speaking. Taking collaboration into consideration, I have learned to be a better listener and problem-solver throughout the process. I love to create new opportunities for my students in Houston, and I do that through workshops, so collaborating with new people in a workshop helps me understand my students in a new light and allows me to plan new ideas for them in the coming future.]]> 2023-03-24 16:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypostlibrary1/zxomrda1gcq6bajo/wish/2530700591 rockypostlibrary1 https://padlet.com/rockypostlibrary1/zxomrda1gcq6bajo/wish/2534297336 Time management was such an important habit while moving through the modules this semester. The most important thing I could do while devising and designing pieces was to create a schedule and keep with the schedule throughout the process. When I was in devising, I used time management skills by planning out when we were going to be presenting and allocating time in class to work on my piece as a group and create a devised project by the due date. In design, I managed my time by noting when I needed to observe my morning and make sure that my Cornell box was being created in an efficient manner to turn it in on its final day of class in that module. In playwriting and directing, it was even more crucial that we planned our time out because of the limited time we had in that module compared to the rest. As a team, we created the script and rehearsed our scene out of class, so time management was a huge factor in that. One example of a time I needed to manage my time the most was when I had to go to Houston last minute for a design and had ot get my Cornell box turned in. I prioritized certain things and ended up turning it in on time, so time management was on my side then.]]> 2023-03-28 03:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypostlibrary1/zxomrda1gcq6bajo/wish/2534297336 rockypostlibrary1 https://padlet.com/rockypostlibrary1/zxomrda1gcq6bajo/wish/2534322876 When you're working in a group on a project, it just so happens that someone takes charge and controls the whole project, however during the modules, all of my time members and I worked together to create our pieces, we were all leaders at our own time and we all contributed to the success of the projects. Being a leader doesn't mean taking charge and being a bossy person all the time. In order to create a perfect art piece, your kindness and respect towards the people you lead are crucial. In my projects, I did all I could to be the kindest version of myself while leading, and so did my group members. One example of true leadership was when my group in playwriting and directing all went our separate ways and then came back with one whole project, this shows true leadership, that we could all create a project and turn it in all in one week, using little collaboration until the end. When we ended up spacing the project, we each had our own time where we could lead the group in deciding what would go where on stage and how the sequence of the scene would move. We were all true leaders during this time.]]> 2023-03-28 03:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rockypostlibrary1/zxomrda1gcq6bajo/wish/2534322876
