One of the things in theatre history that sparked my interest was the architecture in theatre history. It's amazing to see the differences between theaters now days compared to the ancient times. I kind of forgot everything while presenting since I was pretty nervous and I felt like my artifact was alright. I didn't have much stuff to work with so I just tried my best. And I kind of procrastinated a little while working on my slides so it wasn't that great.

I really enjoyed the fast passes and sketchnotes, I got to utilize my creativity by drawing a person or image that related to the subject we were learning about and I think I really learned a lot about theatre over the years. Researching and developing a question sort of came naturally since we already heavily discussed a bunch of different types of theatre. Overall, presenting and creating my inquiry project was a really fun experience and I enjoyed seeing my artifact come to life through all my research.

For me I would say I was pretty nervous, I felt like my presentation wasn't as good as I could have made, and I didn't like the presenting part but my favorite part was probably learning about theater history which is like the fast pass through theater history and completing the sketch notes. I felt like that part of the project, at least for me, was the most interesting to do. What I took away from this project is now I know that I should just be calm while presenting and finish it thoroughly and better whereas I don't stutter as much.

I really enjoyed this project. I got to combine theatre with things I really enjoy talking about , researching, and looking at. The hardest part about it was trying to find pictures of older makeup looks. Other than that, overall the process of making my project was easy and enjoyable.

I really liked listening to the fast passes but I also really liked searching stuff for my inquiry. My thoughts didn't actually change throughout the time we did this because I was really interested in existentialism play. I really liked this project.

I thought about how some of the theatre research was actually interesting to learn about. Prehab's, Maybe not my favorite unit to learn about, but I definitely thought how Early Asian theatre and Anti Realism theatre were all something I actually really liked about Theatre history... I've learned that theatre history is something you can be passionate about, I've learned it's also actually fun to be apart of... sure some people might feel as if it's cringe, but it can be cringe but that is apart of it... I actually think it's fun more than cringe... but that could also mean you could practice on yourself... and I've learned that there are/were some historical news about the History of Theatre... would like to continue onto the third unit of the class... :)

i think this project was really fun. ngl it stressed me out a bit, but i enjoyed it. i liked making the artifact itself the most. it was hard getting up there and presenting because everyone was silent but then i remembered that's how it's supposed to be so it was cool epic good fun

My biggest take away is learning more about media and theater. I learned more about fashion and how it is changed, its impact, and different people who made fashion into what it is today. I loved getting to look at clothes and different runways to inpsire me. I love the icons that i learned about, and getting to see how they worked and they different kinds of things they worked on. Fashion is so wonderful and i love everything about include the history that comes with it.

I liked learning about the masks, makeup and women in theatre and how they kind of changed theatre. I didn't like how there were so many males in theatre oppressing women and women's rights in the early years of stage. I'm glad that women fought for their right to perform and they recognized something was wrong about it. Without actresses from the 1800's, we wouldn't be where we are today.

I liked this project even though it did not go as planned it was still fun making a video with my friends and improving a good amount of it on the spot which I feel that can help "train" for theater.

With my inquiry prompt, I honestly felt like there were so many different ways I could proceed with this project. I wanted to do one dress, but it would take too long to make, so instead I made multiple small dresses. It was honestly pretty hard, the second dress gave me the most trouble, the fabric frayed really easily, and I didn't have an actual pattern to follow. It took me almost two days just to finish that one. The other two dresses were a lot easier to do though, so its fine. During my research i actually learned a lot, mainly about the musical SIX. It was pretty fun in the end though, and it was fun to see what everyone else did for their projects.

Exploring more into the early Asian theatre made me find a lot more facts about that time era a lot more. Just seeing the different kinds of Kumadori paint designs were very interesting and seeing them come from religious rituals is cool. Researching for my project was fun and actually interesting to me with how much goes into with make up and puppets' felt good about presenting about what I like from the early Asian theatre and I hopefully helped others understand it as I did aswell. My take away from this is just sharing to others about my interest in theatre and what I find interesting.

In the beginning, I didn't know what I wanted to do for my inquiry project. I had multiple ideas, but I didn't know which one I wanted to continue with. In the end, I chose to make my project about costume and set design, but then I ran out of time and shortened it to only costume design. I originally wanted to make artifacts, but also ran out of time. When making my pamphlet, I knew I wouldn't have enough time to print my pamphlet and write on it in time, so I put what I thought was enough pictures. However, I didn't have enough research done to fill up the space. I should've also worked on my project more to get more done with my project.

Doing this project was fun but I can say that it was a bit stressful. I think it was because I'm usually busy so I barely had time, yes I did have time in class but Idk if it's just me but working at home makes me concentrate better. However, when I finished my project I was a bit satisfied because I felt like if my presentation was something that can be seen better it would have been to my liking. Though, I did like how I was a bit more creative this time cause I drew my Zulu Woman and made it a puzzle so you can see how they looked like with their makeup on as well. Plus, I drew a woman instead of a man this time cause it's Woman's History Month soooooo ye :)

What i liked about theatre and women's cloth is that there's different colors and each clothing has different fabric and different feelings. And one thing that upset me was that women can not be on stage or they cant show skin.

with my inquiry prompt it was a but difficult looking for my research because there weren't as many results that i was looking for but it was fine because i did find a few websites that helped. Originally i was gonna go for an animation instead but i dint think i was actually going to finish it on time until my friend had an idea to combine our projects together which i was confused about at first until she explained it more to me. when i decided to do it i gave up on my first idea and decided to combine my project with her. the video actually took me around 1-2 hours to finish just to make almost a 2 minute video but i think it was the lack of motivation that made it take long.

To be honest, I did not like this project and it's not because the topic didn't interest me. I just don't like doing research where I don't know what sources to use. In this situation, I pick a website that sounds accurate and just absorb the information from there. I chose to look at music and theatre throughout time and, I'll be honest, I did learn a lot. Of course, it was a struggle to condense the information in an entertaining way, but I made it work. Presenting is always easy because all I have to do is be brave and put on a good face. It felt awkward because I didn't practice, but I'm happy with it. I should practice next time. I also tried to include a bit of example by using my ukulele and it worked. So examples enhance the experience. All in all, I think I did well.

I enjoyed picking a topic and researching about it because overall I like researching things that interest me. I felt that it was a cool project but I was kind of struggling since we were gave so much freedom it was hard for me to pick a certain topic to research on. But overall I think mine and everyone's project educated me well and gave me more knowledge about theatre history.

I really enjoyed this project because it allowed me to research topics I was already interested in and learn more about it. The information I discovered actually led me into changing my original inquiry question so I could talk about more things. Being able to learn more things about my personal question and others was really interesting and overall I'm happy with how it turned out. At first I felt that I didn't have enough information on my slides and that I should've had more slides but going up and presenting I realized I had enough information. My biggest takeaway overall is that theater is constantly changing and adapting , usually for the good, and that a lot has happened in between now and then to get to the point we're at today.

I felt inspired by learning about the history of theatre and learning to create something of my own. allowing both sides of my brain to grow by creating a movable set model.

I loved the exposer to all the new information in theater that we learned. I liked hearing everyone's thoughts about each topic. My biggest take away was enjoying the process and enjoying seeing how everyone else processed their questions.

I really liked learning about all the ways masks were used in theater and at first I thought that I would do my project about that but then I decided to do it about writing a play because I think it would be fun to someday try to write a play of my own.

When we were doing the theatre history review it was a lot of information to take in. When I first started I didn't really know what to do. When I figured out what I was gonna do I did it. The hardest part was presenting not because I was shy but more because I didn't know what to say.

Theatre history was a very interesting topic, to architecture designs and the ban of women in theatre. I chose mental health and the theatre community. I'm overly obsessed with mental health and going through the depths of it. So to do this made me very happy. My project contained a lot of research from doing a survey myself to researching in on insider.

Doing the theatre fast pass was a little boring a time times but it was mostly interesting and something that I enjoyed. I enjoyed getting to learn more about theatre and the things that went on throughout the years in theatre. Doing my inquiry project was a little stressful but ultimately fun to do and research. I was a little nervous about presenting but it ended up not being too bad so that's good.

It definitely was an interesting experience to see how theatre has shaped our world. I saw a lot of different things and saw a lot of comparisons to how wee see theatre compared to how others do. Seeing a lot of theatre also helped me with finding my my research for my inquiry project. Seeing the modernization of theatre inspired me to base my project on this movement. The advances of technology are truly amazing.

Doing the theater fast pass was fun. I enjoyed the sketch notes even thought i redid them multiple times, i was fun to add a creative detail to notes. I was really interested in the masks which helped me decide what i was gonna do for my project. My end results weren't as good as i wanted it to be... but im still proud of the masks i made. My biggest take away from this was how much theatre from different cultures affected and influenced theatre in the later years.

When I started going thought history from the fast pass all was very interesting to me but African ritual hit me in a way I never felt before. When I was finding a artifact for the project I remembered that they used mask so I ask my aunt that was a native American and some of the mask would have horse hair or other stuff.

The journey of the fast-pass through theatre history was interesting. There were times when it felt a little boring (such as the start of theatre), but there were also times when it felt very intriguing (such as modern day theatre and Shakespearean). Over I enjoyed these fast passes. It was difficult at first to find a specific inquiry question that I wanted to dive into because I was so interested in many different aspects of theatre, but I've always wanted to discover the fashion/costume aspect. I struggled finding a way to interpret the research that I found, but was overall satisfied with the outcome of my slide presentation. It was fun researching something that I grew passionate about and it made me respect costume designers that much more.

At first I did not know what do for my inquiry project. I struggled a lot deciding what topic my project should be on. I liked researching famous actresses throughout history. I learned a lot of facts I didn't know about women in theatre. Overall this project was okay. I struggled with what I wanted to do at first but I figured it out along the way.

The way that I came up with my inquiry was that I got really curious as to why so many different societies didn't allow women around or on a stage. The research process was quite annoying because basically all the links I clicked on and all the websites I visited had basically the same information which made me really frustrated that I couldn't find more. Presenting wasn't too bad as I had just presented for BFFS the day before, and I feel pretty proud about how fast I was able to finish my artifact. My biggest take-away is that doing projects for school isn't as hard as I thought it would be, and that I need to manage my time better because I didn't use my free time in class to work on other school assignments.

Doing this project has made me learn many things about the world of theatre. During the fast passes, I was quite intrigued with all of the different kinds of theatre there are in the world. Although, the one that I was most interested about was Elizabethan theatre. It was the theatre I was most familiar with and knew the most about.

I was super interested in all of everything that we learned through the fast pass, I felt like it was a nicer way to learn theater history. I liked that I got a quick glimpse into how theater was like for BIPOC, it's cool that it wasn't just white theater history that we learned about. The inquiry project was really stressful because I feel like I didn't get enough time to prepare it and give full detail. It was fun to share my haiku, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

At first I was think about doing a project based on the evolution of anti realism but during my research I didn't really find and good information, so I looked back on what I had and puppetry caught my eye. I had already spent a while on Anti realism so I knew a puppet would be kind of easy to make. After I made my puppet I made my presentation about puppetry evolution. This was along process but after preforming I felt good about what I had created.

During my project i knew that i wanted to learn more about mask because it was something that tied all types of theatre together, it was just about how i was going to make it, but first i had to do research, once i learned the basic i decided to make it out of cardboard and glue. My speech as some of the facts i had learned. I believe i did a good job it was short because i know that mask don't peak everyone's interest.

The process of creating my midterm was a but stressful because of the artifact, but the research process was very interesting and fun. I love theatre, journalism, and activism therefore I wanted to make my project about issues that need to be addressed in the theatre world. The artifact was very time consuming. Since I made three of my own Playbills, I went from researching Playbill templates and I even registered with Playbill in order to make it, but I ended up just using Google Docs. I was a bit nervous about presenting for I put too much information, and while presenting I felt that I was worried about summarizing my informatipo0n that I skipped some crucial information. Overall, I am very proud of my topic, presentation, and mainly my Playbill for they were unique and pretty. My biggest takeaway is learning all of the new information of all the different jobs, views, and aspect of theatre, all contribute to the theatre that we see and l9ove today.

I loved taking notes and learning about the history but I found it hard to interpret and produce my own art based off of what I learned. I felt uninspired by most topics and I found that they were a lot harder to research than I thought. I settled on drama because of how interested I was in the production. I feel like my artifact could've been better but felt like finding reliable sources was harder than I thought. My main takeaway is that I need to explore my options by doing more research before deciding on a topic.

There were some key moments from the fast pass through theatre history that I liked learning about and that I found interesting. I loved making art and sketches of the costumes, that was really fun. And I knew my question when I drew the outfits of the performers and I knew I wanted to learn more. I felt confident presenting the project since I enjoyed making it.

Throughout this journey I have learned alot, realism, womens roles in history, theatre masks, costumes and more. I have realloy enjoyed being in theatre and learning everything especially the midterm project because the standards were easy to meet. This project aloud me to have freedom and use creativity. Although I am not really a creative person this class has helped me be in touch with my creative side. This assignment was nice because it caused such little stress, and watching everyone present was fun and entertaining.

When I began this project it was important to me to focus in on something I was passionate about, something that would allow me to create and evolve. I came across 'Realism' while, ironically, initially taking an interest in 'Anti-Realism'. I think I was so drawn to 'Anti-Realism' originally because it is on the opposite side of the spectrum I usually drawn to. I lean towards authenticity and truth. I want to indulge in something I connect to. I love when a project forces me to reflect and view life from a new perspective, but never have I thought to consider this under the light of theatre. I wanted to know more. I created a project embedded with film elements, but still touching on the history of theatre. How these ideals came to be on stage, what influenced playwrights to create, what was once considered, unconventional stories. What does authenticity and reality do for an audience? How does this impact the way we create today? Art does not always have to be complex, it's meant to ours and for us. Take and learn. It was important for me to express this idea during my presentation. I found that a lot of my classmates related to what I had to give.

I really enjoyed researching and learning the history of theater and it's clothing. My favorite part about it was the making of theater costumes I didn't think that there was a lot of steps to it but there was and I enjoyed reading and watching the steps.

From all of the fast pass lectures we had about theatre history it was all very interesting to listen and even watch when we did videos. I was mostly intrigued from the African American theatre and the Elizabethan era and decided to honor Black History month and Women History month. So I decided to do my project on the progress and successes of Black women in theatre. I didn't really know what to do for my artifact at first but then I saw paintings and canvas and decided to do a painting. I did a silhouette of different shades of Black women on my canvas. After presenting I feel like I did a pretty good job but I could have been a little bit more prepared. But what I can take away from this experience is that I could manage my time a little better. It was fun though but I am excited to start the acting unit.

I really liked how all of us the the same or different presentation. We chose different statements in theater like clothes, dancing, the candle accented etc. it was really amazing how we had different slides as well. I did Dancing or theater dancing for mine because i love to dance and mostly theater dancing had a lot of common stuff for the dancing we do now. theater dancing is mostly focused on hip hop or lyrical depending on what scenes they use.. When i figured that i wanted to do a dance project i wanted to focused on what i loved to do an took it to theater dancing as well.

During this project, I had an amount of stress and an unnaturally hard time, for me at least. I am normally very good at coming up with creative problems, but for some reason I had a very big problem this time. Until it came to me in a dream very close to the due date, I had essentially no idea what i was doing. This project definitely wasn't my favorite, but I didn't end up hating it like I thought I might, so that's fun. Leave a Reply. |
