Semester Reflection
Over the course of the semester I feel that I have learned a lot and was able to challenge myself to step outside my comfort zone, which helped me improve as a performer. For example, I have learned things like setting a scene and the importance of stage tech (costumes, sound, light, makeup, etc.). I never fully understood how much those things could change and affect once scene. I really enjoy taking a scene and changing the focus of it to represent something else using those elements. I also found that I really enjoy directing as well and being able to bring out a certain message within a scene.
I think I grew as a performer from the first day of class. On the first day of class, I was a lot more shy and unsure of presenting my ideas in front of the class. I started to realize that I enjoy being able to perform in front of the class, regardless of how nervous it made me. I stated to grow out of my shell more and be able to share my opinions with the class and began to understand the importance of being able to share my thoughts with the class or group I am working with, in order to be able to convey my points as well. I also think that this class helped me to not be as shy, and it turned out that no matter how unsure I was of myself about my performance, it all goes away when I am on stage. I discovered more than ever, that the stage and being able to be part of theater is my biggest passion and biggest what keeps my life in balance. I was able to grow as a performer because more than anything, I was able to understand that theatre means showing no fear and being in that moment, which I am working on. I hope to continue to keep growing and learning more aspects of theatre.
My final project shows how much I had grown, because although music was always something that I had studied, I was always too shy and too insecure to sing in front of people. I was able to step way out of my comfort zone to a place where I always felt the most vulnerable, which I honestly always wanted to do but felt like I could not. I had grown to love all aspects of theatre from acting, to directing, to stage crew, but musical theatre was always the root of my love for the stage. I felt that in order to finish this class I should do a final performance of what led me to want to choose to take this class in the first place. Although I was very nervous and I wish that I had been able to give a better overall performance, I felt as though I was flying afterwards and I had never felt so free. I feel like I was able to climb over a huge wall that had always stood in the way of my being on stage, and I feel so lucky that I was given a chance to do that.
This class was one of my favorite classes that I have ever taken. I had learned so much about performance and theatre. This class made me do things that I would have otherwise been to shy to try, and those experiences helped me so much both on and off the stage. My love for all things there grew so much and I am now more able to face that head-on, rather than being too insecure or shy to approach it. I am very thankful to have been given the opportunity to be a part of this amazing class and learn so much. I will do my best to keep growing and learning, so that I can be the best performer that I possibly can be.
