the first post yay

am i a scenic designer? am i a scenographer? no, im not. im just a student struggling to figure out my own fucking future. what do i know? just some basic skills... know barely enough to work as an assistant designer. my communication skill is poor thx to the fact that im japanese and english is my second language. the reason i started the blog is that today, even thou my self-esteem as a designer is pretty low, i found that im at the point that i should start thinking about philosophy of the theatrical design.

i had no experience in the design field before i came to the college im currently attending. in japan, theater is not a part of their educational program. the only opportunity i had to see anything related to the theatrical design was when i had the ballet concerts. even thou i had some chances to see design process closely, my main interest at that time was dancing. thinking back, i missed so many chances to observe the theatrical design industry in japan.

so basically, i have no theatrical education background in japan. the first time i leaned anything about theater was in the college in this country. (besides as i wrote, i had dancing and also some painting training.) thats why i wanted to keep my blog in english. me as a designer was born in the u.s.

okay thats enuff for today. its 1 a.m. and i guess im having a little jet lag from an hour difference between here and cincinnati...
