Musical Rehearsals

Throughout this year I have been working on my school's production of [Title of Show] as the Assistant Director. The process of trying to create a good piece of theatre with a bunch of high school students is... difficult. However all the challenges that I have faced have helped me improve in my understanding of theatre and how it is produced. I have worked with the director in coming up with each action that the actors are dong and refining them to clearly and distinctly communicate our intentions, it has been a great learning experience.  Along with putting lots of effort into this production I have already given up hours and hours of my free time to help us and we still have a long way to go. While I am intimidated by the prospect of a continued lack of time to work on other areas I am committed to making this show the best that I can. I believe that in doing this I have demonstrated Learning Outcome 4 as I have committed to making this production as good as we can and I have had to persevere through the long hours of it and I am still dedicated to it.

J-Term

  January 20, 2021 I have been working on Purella (our spin off of Cinderella) and we have added parodies of ABBA songs to it which has not only been challenging, but also really really entertaining. It is incredibly fortunate that “Dancing Queen” and “Quarantine” rhyme and have the same amount of syllables. Here’s the chorus of our first song   (To the tune of dancing queen) “Cause this is quarantine A-void-ing, Co-vid 19 Quarantine Wash your hands, make sure you’re clean, ooooo yeahahaha You can plant, you can bake, look at the things you can make See the news, watch the streets It’s quarantine!” This was absolutely creativity and I believe that it fell under learning outcome 5 as this entire musical was a collaborative piece put together by the whole J-Term group

The Freeze

  February 18, 2021 Well, this week has been an ordeal. I had planned on going camping over the weekend but every single plan had to be changed due to the weather. We had a huge freeze come through and basically take everything out. Roads were dangerous, power went out, water went out, the whole 9 yards. First of all this was an awful situation as it got incredibly cold incredibly quickly as our houses here in Texas were designed to get rid of heat as fast as possible and when the heaters don’t have power the temperature dropped pretty quickly. Luckily I had had all of my camping things but we went to work trying to make sure that we could deal with outages as best we could. I passed around my jackets and flashlights and we all had one with us before the power went out because we knew it was going to go out soon and wanted to be ready. I also went with Nathaniel to the grocery store to pick up food and water when we had a chance because we didn’t know how long it would all ask. I d...

Online School

  October 5th, 2020 As school has been starting up online I have started going on walks with my mom in the morning as we did in the mornings during online school at the end of last year. It has been really nice and having this consistent exercise is undoubtedly good for me. However, it is a stark reminder of the fact that I am not at school in person as due to how far away from school I live it is not realistic for me to have time to go on walks before school during a regular year. It has been very hard for me to continue online school while others are going in person (with many changes from last year, masks, distancing, barriers, one-way hallways, no lockers, no using the fridge or microwaves, and lunch is only allowed outside and very far from others) but it doesn’t seem like going in person would be the best thing for me at this. My brother is at pretty significant risk of health issues if he happened to get covid so we are all being extra cautious for his sake. While online sch...
