My experence with Shadow Theater (By Conor Flood...the red head)
Well, the shadow plays was a very interesting project. I've never really had a project like that, especially the very broad criteria. There was always a very strict guide line to follow, and this time there wasn't. It was kinda weird, but very cool. I think our group worked pretty good together, but could not decide on what to do. At first we spent alot of time throwing out ideas, and tried to make our stage high tech haha the ending product was the infamous double decker stage. It was interesting when we were playing around, and pretty surprising when our stage caught fire.
After watching that first group perform that first day, it kinda shocked us into trying to develope our story, but that was pushed to the next day
The second day really throw us into a loop, cuz then we started messing with the stage again, and then realized we still didnt have a story, and we still werent ready to commite until the last minute until the show started, and we basically just winged it. It turned out great and it was a very good learning experiece. It was nice just to get into the play and not worry about what was supposed to happen or would and just let stuff happen. It was alot of fun
