When Two Worlds Collide…
Tah. Dah…
So forgive the lack of bloggage lately- i meant to- i wanted to- but academy productions schedules stretch you too thin enough as it is that to find time for a decent reflection is nearly impossible. In no way is that a complaint. It’s just a fact.
The really sad thing is that i had alot to Blog about… i really did.
The day after the set was completed if you asked me how i felt- i would have replied with something along the lines of ”Empty” yet i had no time to reflect on that. now the feelings running through me that day are patchy and mostly gone.
It’s going to be really hard to describe- but when such a big job was over- there was no opportunity to stand back and admire or reflect. instead we were just cleaning, taping and tweaking until the long hours of the night… The next morning i came in feeling unattached and loathing towards this set… sure the jobs needed done. but you dont start arranging a newborn babys funeral as soon as it’s born.
The process of this show hasnt halted once, as a learning experience it’s had no opportunity for reflection.
Look at the pictures above ^ isnt that amazing? look at what WE built in only 4 days!! It’s bloody fantastic. but unfortunately at the time these feelings of success and achievement have been soured by long days, doing 2 minuite jobs which ended up taking three quarters of an hour because they were being done in the dark and a team with growing tension due to tiredness and lack of organisation.
Louise has done a fantastic job… but my god is she stressed out. her stress affects Madeleine and I and that then backfires onto her and thats not fair, how does our TSM cope with these stressful moments? why don’t i know the answer to this? Everything is happening too fast.
Why do these jobs have to be done in the dark? why can’t schedules reflect a learning institution rather than the ”real world”?
Must find answers. this blog has been the hardest one yet.
