Points to Make For My Oral Exam (With the Help of Leyla)

1. Did not know much about theatre before - the only time I was on stage was for a band concert or when I played narrator in Elementary School
2. Had the most difficulty with sharing my ideas and revealing/exposing who I am
3. Broke the barrier by being encouraged and hearing others' ideas as well, learning more about practitioners and realizing I may be able to really develop with mine
4. I learned from the process of using stimuli and devising that
   - theatre can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be, as long as you have a clear message
   - stage elements take a lot of work
   - practioners' theories can be of great use
5. Grown in developing my ideas and thinking more outside the box
   - I'm more creative than I thought and am having less of a difficult time creating a message
6. A message I find in a lot of my pieces: It's okay to be different and there's no need to hide.
7. Themes I find in (almost) all of my pieces: acceptance, difference, vibrance

Images:

- a blank canvas (I have so many ideas to paint)

- trombone (another passion of mine that is stressful at times, but gives me the sense of release: COMPARISON)

- thinking outside the box

- a nice necklace with different beads (all these different people make a beautiful product)

- something simple looking on the outside, but complicated on the inside
