“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.”
-Pablo Picasso
I don’t have to tell you that learning can be a great challenge, even more so when you are attempting to conquer unknown territory. What we often do as theatre artists is force ourselves out of “the box” into this unknown. It is scary, uncomfortable, and often laudable. This semester, students taking Scene Design, Costume Design and Theatre Practicum have attempted to understand the creative world outside of the box. They have studied numerous shows, affected them with new and creative concepts, and successfully produced their own artistic vision whether in a presentation based on work in the classroom or creations we have actually seen on University Theatre’s stage this season.
The culmination of their efforts is a portfolio exhibit Friday May 7th. From 4 to 6pm these students will have their work on public display. Portfolio presentations are a long standing tradition in educational theatre settings and they too can be scary and uncomfortable. We hope that you will all come out in support of your fellow classmates and their endeavors to get outside of the box!
Hope to see you there!
