Set Design

     Gingerbread house for the play "Hansel and Gretel" primary school play

n the first session we had to plan the the set. Each of us got to design the "Candy house" of the story Hansel and Gretel. We only have 7 weeks left for the production so we are on a tight shedule especially since we are only going to be meeting Tuesdays after school and commitment to the activity is really important.  Also this is a new challenge for me because I had no prior knowledge that this industry requires to work on tight shedules but planning around and managing my time is one of my strengthens.

Last session I learned to quicly apply papier machier and I will have to continue to apply this new skill throughout. Concerning the set itself I considered the ethical implications of this process. Every year there is going to be a new play and every year new supplies are bought for this particular play.I'm going to ask the supervisor to keep the set pieces of this play for next year so we can re use the set and make necessary changes.

Visit to the RCCI Center

The Thrusday before Ms Nyriz( Service supervisor) and I planned the trip to go to the RCCI center in the following Thursday.We managed to get most of the people in the service signed on to the trip and we left the school campus for the center on time. We reached the service center in about 15 minuites and I'm sure it was an eye opener for some of the new students in this service group. They could finally see the  global importance of this service group because the center it self is not something one would expect from a center to help the children with disabilities. The center is small to say the least but I was pleased to see some new play groudn equipments in the main ground. It indicated progress. Just like how we did in school we took a group of children and played with them. Some played ball, some helped them around the play equipment and others danced with the children. Overall it was a good trip and it ended with a good note. Next session we are going to be bringing the children in to the school on Thursday morning to watch the Primary school play. This would be different experience for the children.
