IPP

I needed a night to sleep on it. “It” here refers to our muddled plan that’s starting to come together for the independent project proposal.

We’re doing it as a group of five – we know each other by now, and it’ll be fun to do this as a group.

I’m really excited about this – so many opportunities!

I’m not directing (I have to share, so I’ll just try to be extra supportive and make sure I don’t give too many opinions… may be tricky, but it’ll be good to learn to just shut up as well). I’m not even stage-managing.

I am, however, getting to write this thing with Jed! Yes!

Always wanted to write a play (although, I wanted to direct it as well – can’t get everything in life :p).

If I got to choose, I’d do it centered on time, death, truth and concepts of dreams and nightmares. Could be really weird and creepy – but also has a lot of potential to be really fascinating and interesting. Or perhaps (if we had to do social issues – which in my opinion are overdone and no longer really make a statement) on something we can relate to – I don’t know, family issues or breaking away? That transition period we’re all sort of going through right now, getting ready to leave, start out on our own.

Meh, don’t know really. Endless possibilities – anything could work!

Anyways, back on to the project we’re currently working on… it’s so exciting! Everyone’s so enthusiastic and it’s all going to work out, I just know it!

They seem to be getting a little to involved in the storyline and away from the content (getting a bit soap opera – ish and a little dark – like a Sophocles soap opera? I don’t know. But dark, and stuff, but oh well. Lots of character drama.

It’ll be interesting to see where this goes – and I get to do costumes!!!!!!!! Oh yea!! :D To be able to sculpt the visual aspects of the performance to my taste, yay! I get an excuse to improve my sewing skills – and hopefully I’ll even maybe get to work a bit on the sets! :D

Genuinely excited about a school project – what had the world come to? J
