About Set Day...

I think the technical side of theatre will play an important role in Mulan because it has so many rapid scene changes. But I guess that could be said about all plays that have scene changes. Not only that, but since Mulan takes place in neither the current time nor place of where we are, it will take a lot of good scenery for the audience to really get into it without them thinking it looks elementary. I'm somewhat interested in theatrical technology. Lighting would be sort of interesting. But the problem is, is that I don't want to take the time to learn how to work any of that stuff. That's why I mainly like acting, you do most of the stuff without any teaching. Well, learning make-up would be helpful for me, because I'm often playing a character who is older than me. So not being dependent on others who know make-up, especially age make-up, would probably save multiple people time.

  1. I agree with you about how the technical side of theatre will play an important role in Mulan. I forgot about how the time and place of Mulan will need very good scenery to make it seem real. Theatrical tecnology sounds interesting and I want to learn it. I agree that I really don't want to have to take the time to learn it but I guess I should. The age makeup is something I probably should learn in case I ever play a character older than me.

  2. I also think learning about lighting would be interesting. It must be hard to lighting only a certain part of the stage, with a certain color, at a certain time, etc. I would also like to learn specialty makeup for any parts I might have in the future.
