S.T.A.G.E. - Learning Outcome 2

I achieved learning outcome 2, undertaking new a challenge. I have never done anything like being the scenes work for a real play. I took theater in 10th grade but I didn't do so well with the actual acting part. Then I helped out at the haunted house but that wasn't a play. This time I was really taking part in the costume design and keeping things going back stage.

S.T.A.G.E. - Learning Outcome 8

As part of this new challenge I also achieved learning outcome 8, developed a new skill. I learned how to be a back stage worker/ costume liaison for a play. I didn't think it would be that hard but it was a serious job. I had to wear black when backstage so I could blend into the shadows- I always wondered why they did that, I had to sow under pressure, and I had to move through the curtains without being seen.

S.T.A.G.E. - Learning Outcome 4

I also achieved learning objective 4, work collaboratively with others. I had to work with multiple people who were other backstage crew. I had to work with tildy, mia k, and ms. hike when coming up with the costumes. I had to work with chelsea and mia k, when setting up and selling tickets, and I had to work with tom when sowing his dress with out stabbing his spine with my needle.

S.T.A.G.E.

I had planned to help out as a stage hand for the afterschool drama club, but instead I ended up becoming the head of costumes and partial directors assistant. The outcome for me was a better job than id even wanted and the chance to give everyone else a helping hand so we could put on what was most definitely an excellent performance. I felt important because i got a snobby title like costume liaison but i mostly just had a lot of fun watching the actors and everybody. I had to make sure that everyone had the right costumes and looked good before going out and i was ms. hikes assistant in a way, i also sold tickets and refreshments to the customers. I perceived that there was a lot more going into a simple performance than i had ever known but i was grateful gto be a part of it. I think its a great activity and everyone should get the experience. This activity taught me a lot about theater and i feel i really helped out a lot. My goal was ok, i just didn't know what to expect. One time Kathleen forgot her costume so i whipped her up one right on the spot and she liked it even better than the other. I think doing helper work like that is always a good experience that everyone should go through.

Quebec Trip Photos

I have achieved objective 4, work collaboratively with others. I had to work with Marjorie because she was my fellow photographer. Mr. Hyer helped us get a couple cameras and then edited the pictures and put them on Picasa. Madame O'Keefe let us use her camera when ours stopped working.
