Hmmm independent learning week, the week in the Conservatoire in which all the students have a week off to do what they want, and production work for students cease. Er, well not for me. I knew I could have gone home to Belgium this week, or get cracking on with that perspective painting which is seeming to take me age to do, but as I good devoted manager to the pantomime I decided to come in and work on Beauty and The Beast.
Why did I come in? Well ... I knew that if I didn't come in next week (week 8) would be manic, I already know we have to do two late nights next week in order to get the final piece (the main house) painted and I thought it would be unfair on the team if we were all having kittens trying to get another 2 towers painted as well! I also decided to work on panto this week as being manager I haven't done a lot of the painting, and I miss it, really miss it. I love getting stuck in with production work, just being free and painting things I enjoy, but these past weeks I've been stressed out making sure everyone has a job, and mixing endless amounts of colour!
I got quite a lot of work done, and thankfully some other students helped out. It was great just to paint again, and not need to worry if anyone needed a job. By the end of the week both of the towers got painted! Yay! And I think I defo need a new pair of steelies!
