DI Reflection #9

The competition itself went well. Altogether, I am very proud of how my team performed. We practiced our scripts all day before we went on, and I think that our skit was highly original and the actors worked well together. I really enjoyed acting with Heather, and we matched our roles perfectly; the audience and judges really liked that Steph and Missy painted themselves on stage for the live creation of art aspect of the challenge. We won third place, which considering how little time we were able to work on this, was quite impressive. We also got a Renaissance award, a goal I had hoped to meet through our set and puppet. So although we didn't move on, we won a prize for the concept and craftsmanship of our puppet and set -- much better than I would have hoped for, honestly, considering that we were up against 6 teams with far more time than us. I think it was a very good note to end the D.I. year on.
