Having worked on my World Theater Traditions research project for two or three months at this point, it’s somewhat difficult to step back and look at the full picture. While I am satisfied with my final presentation, there are certainly areas where I could have improved it, had I made better use of my time up until that point. I’ve been fortunate enough to rarely suffer from stage fright in my many years of performing, but I think my nerves did get to me somewhat when recording my final presentation. Part of it was because I hadn’t fully memorized the script, so I ended up skipping over some of the more repetious lines of setup at the start. I also made the notecards late in the process of preparing for the presentation, so I wasn’t as comfortable using them as the could have been. The rest of my nervousness came from knowing that this will make up a significant portion of my IB grade for this class.
While the presentation could have gone a bit better, I am proud of what I accomplished with the project itself. Other than talking about my time physically practicing my convention, which I forgot to mention, I feel that I covered all of the required topics sufficiently, and in good time. If I were to do this project over from the beginning, I’d try to narrow the focus of my research more from the start, and make the notecards alongside the slides, so that I’d have more time to practice presenting and performing.
