Crafts and Class

This past week we had one of our rare class meetings. It was lovely to see everyone and receive more input on our final writing assignments. The due dates are approaching! I've also been utilizing the writing centre at Central to check in with the tutors and get advice on how best to construct the case study and other essays. They have been very helpful and it is nice to have some one on one instruction.

Also this past week, the design students at Central had their craft exhibition. These designers are all undergrads in their final year. The exhibition is a chance to show their abilities to the industry and the Central community. I was impressed when I saw the exhibition last year and this year was more confirmation of the incredible talent that comes out of our school. There were costumes, props and puppets displayed. Lighting and sound designers had demos and laptops with portfolios. Set designers and scenic artists had pieces of their work available for viewing as well. It was inspiring and I collected all their business cards in case I need to hire one of them for a show one day.

Coming up this week, I have a workshop on taxes and other government fees that producers need to think about when planning and running a show. And there are two shows I want to see that run only this week. I'll keep you posted.

Take care!
