Last Thursday, we went over our footage and answered any clarifying questions we had. Ella and Zoe had AP Statistics, so I mostly worked on researching the different types of music our three interviewees mentioned. On Friday, we were meant to conference call to work out storyboarding, but most unfortunately I was struck down by a sudden and debilitating case of the stomach flu, and I consequentially spent most of my day in pain and in the bathroom. As such, I had a wonderful abundance of time in which I reflected copiously on the question(s):
Who are the people with whom you are currently working? Describe your colleagues and the organization for which you are working. What have you learned so far about the people at your project and the expectations of your project?
I am working with the lovely folks at Ohio Shakespeare Festival, and I am also working with my lovely friends, Zoe and Ella. What I've learned about Ohio Shakespeare so far is that it's really a place of passion. It seems like a lot of people work there as an on-the-side type of job - all of the people we interviewed have day jobs along with their theatre positions. It really comes through in their interviews that theater is something they love to do, so much so that they're willing to devote their time to it outside of just doing it to make money. It reminds me in a way of theater at Hawken, how a lot of the kids who do it are very devoted purely because they enjoy it. Of course, it does make a nice entry in a college resume, but (like at OSF) it's not the main 'breadwinner' in this analogy. I think it's really interesting how theater in the adult world is such a non-casual thing - you have to be super committed, therefor the people who participate create really cool works together by virtue of their passion.
