WEEK 20

Today in college, i made props out of air dough, i made a strawberry, avocado, grapes and cheese. I had never worked with air dough before so i learnt what it was and i experimented with moulding it using different techniques. It was fairly easy to mould however it was tough to get a perfectly realistic shape of an object. My first attempt of the strawberry wasn’t too bad however i think if i did it again, i would of shaped it better. I really enjoyed getting to know how to make realistic props.

I had enough time to start painting my prop grapes, they are starting to look really good. I would like to carry on painting the props next week as i feel that they’d be useful for a show.

For the last session of the day i took part in a really useful workshop, learning all of the roles and responsibilities of each role in theatre production. I was focused on the role of DSM and from help with the year 2’s i learnt a lot and i feel more confident with the role. It was a really good opportunity for me to ask any questions i had, the answers i got back from the year 2’s were really helpful. On Thursday, the morning session was our last of Kristen’s online sessions. For the last session we played some fun exercises which i really enjoyed. The last exercise we played definitely got me out of my comfort zone, we had to find things around the house to make us look like a superhero. This was a really funny task and i had a lot of fun! Reflecting on Kristen’s sessions i have grown my confidence a lot. I am really happy that i took part in these sessions because i feel that communication with the group is easier and i feel a lot more comfortable with speaking to one another.
