Bread and Other Stories

I really enjoyed the process we've been doing over the past week or so. I wasn't too interested in Bread to begin with because it was rather bland and unexciting, but when we were able to make it creative-spice it up and make it our own-I really enjoyed that. Most of the idea I got were from class discussions and my wild and crazy imagination-hahaha.

At first we had to put on Bread with our own spin and Emme and I came up with psycho old people. I really liked performing it, but what I really enjoyed was writing it. It was like, how many little ways could we slip Bread into the script, and would people notice? As for writing it for real...the idea itself was fun to work with. I thought about going a different direction, maybe taking a different spin on it but I guess I couldn't really come up with much. I often like to fine tune my ideas, repeating them over and over again but tweaking them until they're better and better each time.

I draw creativity and inspiration from things and people around me. I can often find the strangest things inspiring-paintings, or even the way a classroom looks when it's empty; maybe something someone says during a class discussion. I see things and I build a story around them, or I hear something and picture whats going on when someone is hearing it.
