Reflection

I have really enjoyed working on longer works this quarter. It has allowed me to dive deeply into each character and explore their complexities. I find it more useful to work on a longer piece rather than many smaller ones because I can perfect and refine my play. I have achieved my goal of finishing the play by the end of third quarter, and I am happy with the result. The most difficult part of this quarter was making the language sound natural rather than scripted. I want the characters to seem realistic to the audience. If I were to make a performance out of this short play, I would stage it in a small theatre so that the audience members felt immersed in the action. After first speaking to Dr. Totland, my characters have become much more rounded out and I have explored the different sides of them. I am happy with my polished draft and look forward to others reading it.
