I am currently immersed in the fascinating world of Theatre Design and I couldn't be more excited about my academic journey. However, as with any educational journey, there are certain aspects I'd like to share about my experience so far.
Let's start with the curriculum. While I appreciate the theoretical foundation it provides, I sometimes feel it could be more concise. Some subjects seem repetitive and tangential to what is really important in design. Practical classes are where I thrive, and I wish there were more hours dedicated to hands-on learning. One semester feels insufficient to grasp everything.
The workload can be overwhelming at times, making me feel older than my years. Balancing assignments and projects can be a challenge.
Now about our facilities - they leave a lot to be desired. The outdated equipment and frequent space and infrastructure problems are less than ideal. Winter often brings leaks and our bathroom design is far from functional.
On a more positive note, the teaching methods are generally excellent. The teachers are both passionate and didactic, making the learning experience enjoyable and enlightening.
My theatre design journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Although there are areas that could be improved, my passion for the art of design keeps me going and I look forward to the practical challenges and creative opportunities of the future.
