How I got HERE

Theatre, having always been a passion of mine, is quite possibly the only place that I actually feel comfortable being myself. However, acting is just not what I'm cut out to do. I took a couple semesters off from Chico State, which was one of the worst decisions that has ever been made, but it did open my eyes to other possibilities. I got involved heavily in the Theatre department at LTCC doing electrics, sound, and various other things, including painting. Simultaneously, I started to take art classes which made me realize that I actually really enjoy designing pieces. And then I realized I could fuse these two things into doing one thing.

Back at Chico State, I decided to declare myself a theatre major and I started to take classes; Stage Design and Foundations of Design. Fall 2008, I did my first designing for a production, working on props for Ubu Roi. This show gave me a new perspective on how to deal with my own ways of working on a production. Thus, bringing me to my reason of writing this blog. I think that it is really important for me to document my process, which will help me in the end with my reflections and my binder.
