WALKING FISH THEATRE
On Wednesday I met Stan Heleva, producing artistic director of Walking Fish Theatre. It's a non profit theatre located in the Fishtown/Kensington area of Philadelphia. It fulfills its mission by producing theatrical works and by encouraging and mentoring young people and artists in the classroom and on the stage; and by producing shows for schools, institutions and community centers.
I received some materials to work on from Stan.

SENIOR PROJECT MIDTERM EVALUATION FEEDBACK
It was very rewarding to see everyone's presentations in class today. What a great variety of projects. It was a very inspiring experience.
During the presentations I didn't show any visuals. To be honest, I had the sketches and logo designs with me. Sometimes it's just better not to get negative feedback so you can still be excited about your project and finish it. At the end, senior project is not about a grade, it is about your choice and what you can do. I wish there was more excitement and support from our reviewer. Brian's critique was sometimes a little too harsh. Personally it effected my choice of not showing any visuals today.
Overall I enjoyed the presentations and I want to show my support for everyone's work.

MEETING WITH MY MENTOR, MARK COFTA
Today I am meeting with my mentor, Mark Cofta at 4:15 to discuss my senior project "Theater Today. Theater Tomorrow."
FREE NIGHT OF THEATER IN PHILADELPHIA
After all my research I narrowed down my senior project and now have a clear vision and plan for it. After getting in touch with Ruth from TCG, I decided to create in event in Philadelphia called "Free night of Theater". Events such as this one were done before by TCG in different cities but never in Philadelphia.
