Midterm Reflection

 Midterm Self-Reflection


Name: Millie



Class: IB Theater 



Overall, how would you describe your experience in this class?

I love this class because I get to explore my theater ideas and get to experience new theater aspects. I get to have fun and use my creativity to make new things.

 

What aspects have been easy for you?

 I have done a better job of using my creativity. I also think the academic assignments I have completed I have done well.

 

What aspects have been challenging?

 It was hard to really express my true ideas and thoughts. I need to be louder and try to be heard more by my peers.

 

What is one thing you have learned about your own theater-making so far?

I learned that levels, lights, location and sounds can truly affect overall performance. It adds aspects that I did realize before.

 

What connections do you see between the things that you have explored in the course so far? Are there any overarching patterns or themes you have noticed?

I have noticed that we are really looking at the small parts of theater separately and together. We are really working on those aspects of all kinds. 

 

Overall, is there anything you think you can do in order to improve in this class?

I want to help us explore our ideas more. Truly think about the theater’s meaning and how every aspect can help improve the performance.

 

Name two ways that you can stretch yourself as a learner or thinker this semester.

I think I have to think outside of the box more and really explore my thoughts. I can also think more in depth in every aspect.

Movement Performance

  This project we did theater caused me to have a lot of emotions. After watching The Things I Know be True, we got to find song lyrics that connected to the emotions in the play. I just liked this because I love music and instead of finding random quotes I felt passionate about finding the right song. The big theme was about change in the play. When I thought about songs about change one song came to my head, Change by Jayden Bartels. Jaden Bartels has been my inspiration for a while now. I love this song because I get to hear her talk about how change is different and hard to deal with, I truly felt not alone in the same situation. She also expresses that change is ok in the end, which is meaningful for me. I knew to give off the same theme as the play so I chose the perfect part to do my movements performance to. Kamden was the first one to direct his lyrics and movement. We got to explore our own movements and thoughts to his skit. When it was my turn I was nervous to be too st...

Reflection to "You Are Not Okay"

     Our final piece was interesting. I personally imagined our piece in a different way. I liked the meaning we were trying to portray. As a person with a few mental health differences, it was nice to do a skit about something I have experienced. Since I could really imagine our skit myself,  I tend to be bossy and stubborn to a point that I don’t like it when my idea is not heard. I thought that it would be interesting to actually be circling the person in the middle and either at the same time or individually ask “are you ok?” while still being in the circle. I personally believe that going on the platforms made no sense. If we did go on the platform to show that the person in the middle feels that they are small in the world, they should also be tiny. I thought as the shortest person in the group it made more sense that it was me in the middle. I truly think that way the thought that they are a small part of the world can truly come to life. Also when we circle t...

 - interesting about how we got to watch Nya make her first voicemail then re-record it to show her real feelings with her stating her emotions - I am confused about the beating in the script, what is it? - punctuation is repeated - connection between O and Nya through white board is interesting - poem equal symbolism - slang used often - confused by slash - powerful in relationship between parents and children and. How parents lives become kids baggage. - this is very impactful and moving - how they tended to have two scene at once and have cross over each other shows a lot of importance
