| Abstract | This project illustrates my views on my journey as a first-time director of theatre while directing the play Sez She by Jane Martin for Theatre TCU. Specifically, I documented each step of the process from my initial applying for the director position, to my experience in the rehearsal environment, to the final product. I also give my final reflections on it all while discussing all of the obstacles along the way and how I overcame then. Through this experience, I learned how to be a better director, actor, and overall artist of the theatre. I also learned that one's life can be missed if all of life is solely a series of steps to get to the desired destination or goal. As important as it can be to be that tactical, it can also prohibit the true experience of what life's true beauty is and the unexpected things we learn about ourselves and about life while on life's journey. I use my directing experience to support this argument and apply it my own life. |
