Dedication to Group Projects

I think our discussion in lab today was a helpful one. We talked about the importance of being committed to our group work, something that we all know already, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded. Though honestly, I am so proud of my company. I think we collaborated really well on our monodrama project and literally every member of the group put forth effort to make it successful. Most of us missed one rehearsal because of other committments or because we forgot, but because we met outside of class so much we could afford that. For this project, we definitely have bigger time constraints and so everyone is going to have to show up every time. But I'm really confident in my company's dedication to the class and, more importantly, to each other. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I think we're going to manage our final project just fine. Another cool thing happened after the lab dispersed into the two separate companies and our group was talking about who would do what job for the project. I love acting, and so I was hoping that I would be able to act in the scene. But I also knew we needed a director and a couple of designers, so I might not get to act like I wanted. As it turned out, Kat wants to study lighting design so she's our lighting/set designer, Abby loves costumes so she's our costume designer, and Shifra was really pumped to direct the scene! It worked out perfectly; I think everyone ended up with the role they wanted, something that I think will help our group work well together again.
