Theatre

I again forgot that a platform like this existed. I just remember it whenever I need to write a resume, honestly. It’s not because of me, really. I do want to write. However, my other jobs keep me from writing. “For example?” you might ask and well, I have been working on a theatre project. Yes, me and a theatre project. Yes, I worked on a theatre project and I always say I have no idea about those. Well, I mean I don’t but unfortunately my class wanted to work on this even though I didn’t. I do not like more work if it is not something that interests me. For example, robotics interests me so it doesn’t matter if I spend too much time in the robotics club room. Theatre on the other hand was something I never experienced before this. Our classmates told a girl and me to write the script that we will use. By the way, it was going to be a video at the beginning, not a theatre. According to that, I, I repeat, I wrote the whole script. By myself, with zero experience. I didn’t know a damn thing, I didn’t have anybody to ask but in just three days, I finished the whole script. I could have written it a bit slower but no. “Why?” you may ask. That was because of my “lovely” classmates again. They never gave me time to rest because they always asked like “Is it finished yet?”, “When will it finish?” and one thing I absolutely HATE is getting asked when something will be done. That was why I was like “Take this and go away, I do not care what you do with this script.”. They might think that was because they wanted but no, it was because I wanted to write it. If I didn’t want to, I wouldn’t. I didn’t eat or sleep for three days so that they could shut their mouth. And honestly, it worked pretty well. They didn’t tell me anything for like a good one or two months honestly. 

Now I am onto the next part which was filming the video. Of course, my procrastinating “lovely” classmates didn’t shoot the video until the last week and they were begging the teacher to give them extra time to shoot it. (Which by the way, I probably forgot to mention but this was for a project, normally it is individual work but because of my lovely classmates “we” decided to make this a group work. And if I need to give some spoiler alerts, honestly, we shouldn’t have started this. The only reason they wanted to do this was a certificate that won’t even be on my resume (personally ofc) and playing it in a stage. I mean if you won’t give it the attention it needs, then why start it🤷, I don’t get it.)  At last, he did give them time to shoot it until next week. Let’s make this stay between us but they did not work on their part, like AT ALL. Bro at least read it before you came there to shoot it, right? But no, we already got the permission to make it a trailer and they absolutely didn’t care about it at ALL. Then we somehow shoot the videos, our editors put it together and then we’re good. We send it to the teacher (Let’s call him cucumber because I don’t really like it when I say “the teacher”. ) and cucumber likes it A LOT and then he proceeds to tell EVERYONE about how good the theatre will be (Spoiler alert it was not.) like the principal, our vice principal etc. Like bro in my opinion you shouldn’t say anything before there is a product in our hands. Moreover, my mal classmates told everyone about it too. Ya, maybe I overreact much (which I usually do) but I have done countless works like this before and I never told anyone about anything before there’s a success.  In my opinion, cucumber telling everyone about it made us get under a lot of pressure. At least it made me. If you haven’t got a chance to know me, I HATE telling people what I have achieved. It will go on MY resume, not theirs. It only makes them get jealous (usually!). 

After we have finished this stage, there comes our favorite part. Cucumber tells us that he will make us sign up for something like a fair. Novel characters fair, or something like that in English. At first we're all fine, we're like "We will be able to do this, it is just a small activity.". Then, however, no one cares and it is like an abandoned baby until the last week before the fair. Then unfortunately I needed to take the matter into my own hands. Adoption is not my thing if I wasn't selected to be the captain 🤌🏻 but we break walls I guess. I did the 3d birds, (In fact I know I made it but it was absolutely SHITTY. Really, look, I was sleepless for like two nights because of this and it did NOT make an impact on the theatre at all. The eagle was like the size of my hand. MY HAND. And also take into account that my hand is SMALL, like REALLY small. Morever, some of them was printed GREEN when we wanted BROWN. Literal BROWN??? Are you color blind my dear teacher? Really, are you? THEN we try to paint it with MARKERS. We ask cucumber why we didn't paint it with acrylics and the most answer we got was "This is the resources we have.". I am sorry but I should stop you there. We LİTERALLY have an ART ROOM downstairs. Art room??? Are we really going to act like we don't have any paints there? If we asked, they would give permission to use it. But again, who am I talking to? Cucumber just doesnt care about some opinions🤷‍♀️ also activities. ) the backgrounds (Which cucumber said he got an education on creating prompts but somehow I made better images than him. In fact, there was an image cucumber said not to change but because of its shitty quality I ended up changing it and he absolutely loved it😱), the music (I changed it like 5 times like I do not have any work to do.), the presentation ( I put it on Keynote at first after Canva did not work, but at the last minute we (a boy and I) put it on Powerpoint. [By the way, I don't think this gets the attention it deserves because I could have eaten a tutanak because I was in the boys dormitory, I could have gone to DK because I used my computer outside of frc (Btw the dormitory doesn't recognize my computer because I didn't tell them.), the noy could have been in trouble because we lied and told the teachers it was Emre's etc.] ) , the costumes, the planning of when and where the rehearsal will be and the direction of backstage. I literally have 4 hours and 41 minutes as my sleep time on average for the week. I believe it was not worth putting this much effort. 

In my opinion, our main problem was that no one really cared, even cucumber. Hell, cucumber was the one who did not care at all. Now, lets be honest, I believe I have done enough work to have the ability to criticize it. I also believe I did the most work about the theatre's background like the background images, sounds, costumes, planning etc. I of course don't know what have had happened behind the scenes but from what I have seen, even the most important calls weren't made about the theatre. Our piano wasn't even told to the managers there.  (Ofc cucumber says he did told them but who knows🤷‍♀️, only him and the manager. I can't make a healthy argument with both sides saying something different.)  No one cared when I told something and all cucumber helped me with was saying "yes" or "no" to an idea.  Most of the decisions were made by myself. I guess I shouldn’t have cared about something that much in the first place. But I don’t know, I really don’t know. 

These were my opinions and my memory of the case. Maybe I overworked myself too much but I am a perfectionist so 🤷. This is a bit too long of an entry but I hope someone reads it. I am going and I will probably see you in a week (Maybe, probably in a month🤷).
