Set & Design

Joining Set & Design I am helping the drama department to organize the BITE show that will take place at the beginning of December. I am going to these meetings every Thursday and I am working with a group of other students from my grade and the one above to organize the setting of the scenes for the play. It is essential that communication works well between all the helpers so to know what has already been done and what still needs to be done.  This is essential to make sure of making good use of the time we have been given. By doing this we are developing communication and time management skills which are always needed. Not only in this situation but also in the everyday life and in school. It is a really nice experience that helps to share your own ideas and make them stand out, cooperate with others and getting organized so that everything can be more and more efficient every time. It was great to notice how everyone in the team managed initiate a new activity to complete the work and how our initial planning was aced at the end of the day. At the moment we are working to advertise the play making posters and then placing them in different parts of the school and we are also creating more scenarios for the final performance.Many aspects concerning the real life world can also be learnt doing this activity. While creating the background for the show, we are getting to know better the play script. In fact it deals with the Vietnam war and three women that are struggling to make sense out of it. This really helped me to understand facts and issues of global importance such as the above mentioned Vietnam war.
