Breathe - Meeting

Today as a group we found that due to Battle of the Winds taking over so much of our free time, we felt that the Breathe session today was really going to put us behind. I really found it frustrating as with last week's session we weren't particularly making much as the Breathe Project had only just started. With our Battle of the Winds deadline heading closer as its near the end of term, and stress levels at an all time high, we spoke to Adele as a group and discussed our problems and issues. We concluded after the session that Breathe this Thursday probably wasn't the best idea due to the deadline therefore we have postponed the sessions until after the Easter holidays. I feel alot better now knowing I can concentrate purely on Battle of the Winds and give my full input to Breathe after Easter. Pheew we all just need a holiday! :( I have learnt today that when your stressed with costume work as a practitioner that it is so so so important to discuss how you are feeling with others around you.

After this meeting we discussed individually with Adele what areas of the project we are interested in and what we would like to contribute. Looking at the designs I initially felt drawn to the "Elders". They have really interesting cloaks with lots of texture and shape. After doing the costume store I feel that it would benefit me exploring some textiles aspects of costume, as it has been a long time since I have done anything textural. Furthermore it will aid my portfolio in the long run having a mixture. Adele confirmed with me after this discussion that for hand in I will produce two cloaks which I will adapt and texture.
