The SDSU Grad School experience offers a lot of opportunities for learning together, whether it is collaborative projects, working as an assistant for other students, or official or unofficial teaching and tutoring. Earlier this semester, 3rd year graduate student Colby Freel offered a free day long workshop on utilizing the software Capture. It's a win win, with students like Colby getting experience writing and teaching a workshop and students like me (Sierra Shreves, I am currently one of the people running the social media for the program), getting an extra class on a new software.

1st Year Scenic Student Barbara Two Stars shared some words on working as the Scenic Designer for SDSU's production of The Wolves.
“I thoroughly enjoyed creating a world for The Wolves and my hope is that the audience members feel as though they are fully immersed in the story, from their first entrance onto the field to watching from the sidelines. Additionally, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing and collaborative team…We Are The Wolves!”
Pictured are digital renderings of the set provided by Barbara.

There are so many things to be proud of and lessons that I’ve learned through my time at SDSU; I am very proud of my time teaching and of my students. It was really inspiring to watch them grow and create!
But the thing that will stick with me the most will be the importance of community. It is who we create art for and it is who we create art with... it’s the reason we tell stories and sit in dark theatres. It is important for us to remember why we make art so that what we make is genuine and authentic. The community is what makes the work magical.
I will always remember the time spent with my colleagues, collaborators, students, mentors, and friends.

“I had the great pleasure to work with the student organization Teatro Azteca on their original work: Despierta! Working on student productions can be challenging because the budgets can be small and they are sandwiched in-between the main stage shows. However, there’s often a determination, ambition and down-right pluck in getting these shows in front of an audience. And make no mistake, these are completely student driven: directed by, produced by, designed by, and marketed by. There is definitely a sense of urgency and passion in these productions that make them a lot different (read: more fun?!) than the main stage shows. Teatro Azteca produced two original musicals with the third canceled due to COVID. The stories, as crafted by Mario Vega, Eliza Vedar and Paloma Carrillo, were reflections of the Latinx experience that were heartfelt and dramatic minus “trauma porn” but also funny and downright bonkers. Yes, bonkers!
Becoming friends with these young artists at the start of their careers is at the very top of my list of highlights during my MFA journey at SDSU. I sure hope they remember me when they need a set designer…”

“I have grown more and more committed to egalitarianism behind the scenes and mentoring diverse populations. Taking an approach of transparency and accountability, I hope to help pave the way for future artists that will change the way we look at the standards of the arts’ industries, and - in turn - prioritize creative intent over monetary value once again.”

Favorite work: “Lying with Badgers written by Jason Grasl and directed by Randy Reinholz. Brought my love for Puppetry back to me.”

When Ashley graduated early this last fall we asked what her proudest accomplishment was during her time at SDSU:
“This right here. My very first show at sdsu, the first time I felt like a true collaborator and the first time I had pushed my self so far scientifically and creatively. I look back on this show as an example of great team work and how important it is to work with my fellow designers and lighting team. While I have grown since this show as a designer I see this as my biggest milestone.
Hookman.”

When asked about her time at SDSU Jenni mentioned being incredibly proud of her work on the Spring production of “Pippin.” But then followed with a statement about collaboration, “community is more valuable than any specific project.” The greatest lessons she learned in grad school came from the community she built with other artists, like fellow MFA graduate Taylor S. Payne, and the continuation of their friendship and artistic relationship into the future!

The Conrad Prebys Foundation has awarded a $6 million grant to SDSU’s College of PSFA for development of a new stage for student productions and rehearsals.
.
The Second Stage Theatre, to be named Conrad Prebys, will become part of a renovated Performing Arts District and a new creative hub at SDSU. Construction is scheduled to start later this year.
.
Dean of PSFA, Peggy Shannon, called this grant a “transformational gift” that “ensures a long-lasting legacy for SDSU’s performing arts.”

On week four of rehearsals for Chess in Concert, each principal learned their entire blocking of the show one at a time on stage in one hour sessions. The stage consisted of nine squares that were nine feet apart from one another to maintain social distancing.
In this photo, Clinton Sherwood (who plays the Act One Arbiter), is learning his blocking from director Stephen Brotebeck via Zoom.
Chess in Concert streams December 3-6. Get ticket info at:
