There is a fine line between taking charge and bossiness. As performance time draws nearer and I feel myself getting more stressed, I may have been a bit short with people lately. I am more used to working on projects individually so I always find it a little trickier readjusting when working in a team. I always try to tear myself in ten different directions and do everything at once. Last few days I've been focusing on programming whilst trying keeping an eye on the set being constructed and lo and behold, it stands completed! I find it hard to trust others in a group to do their role and to a good standard, especially when they require a little encouragement to get going, as opposed to by their own initiative.
Am torn at the moment between nervous dread and excitement. Set, costumes, choreography, programming, projection, lighting, sound; all of it has been looked into and now it's a matter of pulling it all together and pulling it off. Ideally, today would've been the dress rehearsal but as I'm sure most people are familiar, if it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. Tomorrow morning will be stressful trying to make sure all of it is actually going to come together, but I'm looking forward to actually presenting.
I just hope that the ideas we are trying to convey are going to come off. We have relied mostly on style of movement, relationships within the movement, colour and symbolism and lighting as means of conveying our ideas, these methods attempted to keep consistent throughout the production process. It is like a combination of my projects last year in photography, design, and media studies, combining elements which subconsciously trigger thoughts and emotions in people and manipulating them as such to evoke the reaction you want. There is always of course the element of bias where each individal will bring different thoughts, experiences, viewpoints to their interpretation of what they see, especially in that we have all been dealing with the same nuts, bolts, software and brief. In any case, I am looking forward to see what other groups have done, having only seen bits and pieces, mid-construction.
I am still feeling limited by the software, even though I am feeling more confident in using it, it is a little buggy to use, crashing quite frequently especially when handling the larder files. Otherwise, I am glad we have managed to get ahold of good lighting equipement, learning how to pull at the resources available is I think a good thing to be learning early on. It is incredible that it is all coming together in such a short time, and in an even shorter time, the light, cameras and robots will be packed up...
