Week 4:
1st Stage Theatre
January 8, 2014 | It’s hard to believe that I am already halfway through my internship! This last week, we’ve completely disassembled the set (also known as “striking the set”) and tonight was the first read-through of the next play, Souvenir. The rest of this week will be a build week while we assemble Souvenir‘s set. Souvenir is a play […]
Week 3:
Global Zero
January 7, 2014 | Things got rolling here at full speed when everybody came back from holiday vacation. I am still continuing with my social media work, but have also been given the green light to go ahead on an editorial idea I mentioned in my first post. Also, sat down with my supervisor over lunch today and did […]
Week 3:
1st Stage Theatre
December 31, 2013 | Well, 2013 is coming to a close. And it’s not the only thing. The last performance of Noises Off was on Sunday, and now it’s time to start on our next show: Souvenir. Before I comment on how much I’m going to enjoy the next leg of the journey, I have to comment on how […]
Week 2:
1st Stage Theatre
December 26, 2013 | In the spirit of Christmas, I want to discuss the support I’ve had from everyone in the D.C. area. Christmas time really is a magical time of year, and I’m incredibly grateful for all of my newly formed friends. It seems that everyone wants me to succeed. I’m beginning to master tasks and my directors […]
Week 6:
Torbay Primary School
December 23, 2013 | I am typing this blog from my home in New Mexico. I got back just in time for Christmas, with only one day to spare catching up on sleep after my 14 hour flight home. As happy as I am to be home with my family I am already missing the gorgeous New Zealand summer […]
Week 1:
1st Stage Theatre
December 21, 2013 | Having a job at a theatre is a lot different than having a typical 9-5 job. Instead of having the weekends off, Saturday and Sunday are the days that I am expected to work the most hours. We’re providing entertainment to the people who are trying to enjoy their weekends. With two shows a day […]
Week 2:
Global Zero
December 19, 2013 | The second week is over and I’ve got lots of new updates about Global Zero! I have been given some new responsibilities on the social media front. I am now the point man for three lesser known websites, Tumblr, Pinterest, and Instagram. I have been given the keys, so to speak, and it will be […]
Week 5:
Torbay Primary School
December 16, 2013 | I cannot believe that it is nearing the last week of my student teaching experience. This week everything has begun to wind down, which feels strange since it is December, but in New Zealand their summer break begins in mid December. I’ve continued teaching my small group, we’ve expanded the number line hope to include […]
Week 1:
Global Zero
December 11, 2013 | My first week at Global Zero has been very exciting! The office environment is wonderful. It’s a pretty small staff of about 12, they’re all young and very high performance people. The office culture is pretty relaxed (people sit on big yoga balls instead of chairs!) I work in a big room with 2 other […]
Week 4:
Torbay Primary School
December 9, 2013 | This week I began teaching my small group. I take the newest eight students (who moved into this class the same day I did) out for an hour each morning. When I talked to my cooperating teacher about what I should focus on in my group she told me it was mostly up to me. […]
