Ashleigh’s IB Theatre Journal

On Wednesday, I started looking through my blog for parts of my TPPP. After consulting with Ms Flood and Kate about which 2 aspects of my Theatre Journey I should focus on, I chose Set Design and My Breakthrough. Two aspects of my journey which relate to everything I have learnt over the two years.
Currently, [...]

On Monday I finally finished my IPP! Which was a huge relief as I think it was the most difficult assessment task of the year. I found difficulty in recalling details from the performance which was back in March. However, I knuckled down and read the criteria, and read my textbook, both which helped a [...]

During the week, I have been working on my IPP. Right now, I feel that I am struggling slightly with this, as I have rougly 1800 words, and I feel that I have nothing else to say! Even though I have to make it to 3000. I am hoping to see some sample IPPs shortly, [...]

Last night, we went to an amateur version of Grease put on by a local High School. It was quite hilarious, but unfortunately, mostly for the wrong reasons.  Grease is one of the most known movies in Australia i’d dare say, but I was quite suprised when many of the lines were forgotten. I [...]

On Wednesday the 7th of August, we travelled to the Regent Theatre in Melbourne to see Wicked! At first, I was a bit skeptical, because I thought musicals were quite cheesy and annoying. However, when we sat in our seats, I began to notice the amazing set design! There was a dragon above the stage, [...]

Over the past week I have just been finishing off my RI by completing the bibliography and the critique. It was a tedious task, however it helped me realise the importance of sources, and how authentic they are. As some of my sources were more authentic than others. The critique also helped me realised the [...]

Due to the Queen’s Birthday public holiday and the GAT test, we only had one double period of theatre this week, which was unfortunate as I was hoping to get a lot done on my PPP. So during the double period on Wednesday, I googled for many templates for my characters. The majority of them [...]

During the past 2 weeks (I was away for most of the week a fortnight ago), I have started work on my PPP. Out of the stimuli, I chose the maps of Atlantis, as I felt a lot could be created and inspired with pictures, especially those of a lost ancient city! After creating a [...]

This week, I learnt a lot! On Monday we continued on with our Research Investigations. It’s coming along slowly and I need to do some more investigating in order to find out how servants were dressed in the 19th century. This is my last paragraph and quite possibly the hardest to find information on! Then [...]

During the double periods this week, I continued to work on my Research Investigation. Things are going along well, however I still have to organise the colour swatches, which I am planning on getting from the local hardware. On Wednesday, I realised I needed some more information about the fashion worn in the late 19th [...]
