Soon after this was taken we were politely rejected from a pub for looking too similar to drowned rats.

A Visual Map of My Favorite Place

Image
     Whenever I need to take some time for myself to relax or be creative I go to what I call  my outdoor studio .  It's a little patio in my backyard where I can paint and feel secluded.  Inspiration comes easily here since I can look out across the rolling field and watch birds flitting from tree to tree.       I presented this using Prezi, because I like the idea of letting the viewer have the choice to explore on their own.  Included are some found objects, a snippet of an interview, photos, a sketch, a painting, and a video of a very peculiar bug.

Tanguera & Violin Concerto Reflection

• How would you describe the venue (setting for the building, lobby, theatre space)? The venue for Tanguera was contemporary.  Glass, metal, and stone elements came together to form this modern look.  The street art murals were also very contemporary.  That was the first time I had seen art like that in such a fine establishment. The theatre was not ornate like the Barbican.  The stage would have a few props like tables, or laundry lines.  The backgrounds would change from a building facade to a simple lit wall.  Nothing was too over the top.  It helped you to focus on the performers.  The venue for the Violin Concerto was extremely ornate and classical.  St. Martins was light and delicate.  Detailed molding covered the ceiling and walls embossed in gold.  Quite different from the theatre space at Tanguera that was black and dark.  I couldn’t help but think of all the generations of people dressed to the nines who migh...

Week Three Theatre Reflection

• How would you describe the venue (setting for the building, lobby, theatre space)? It was set in multiple locations.  Macbeth moved us from outside in a garden to the inside of a church.  There were blog-like papermache sculptures in the garden.  I felt like I was in a mystical world.  I had never experienced a play in which you move around.  I think it made it that much more engaging and immersive.  The sets, props, and costumes showed signs of the artist’s hand.  I loved that they looked hand made.   • How did the actual architecture/design of the space make you feel and/or affect your experience? It was definitely very immersive.  I particularly liked the special effects of the audio that sounded like a battle scene.  It surround the walkway that funneled the crowd onto the next scene.  The fog, battlecries, and clashing of swords made me feel like I was in the thick of a war.  I feel like this could have ...
