Semester Wrap-Up Part 2

Okay back to the wrap-up! I know, it’s a lot. But I am determined to tell you all about my accomplishments. Now don’t think I’m being cocky… but imma be a little bit cocky.

COSTUMES: Early this year I was tasked with being the costume designer for the Theatre departments MainStage production of She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms.

This was quite an experience as this was my first time designing a show but it was all online. It was such a challenge to have to design for a play that would be performed live via Zoom.

I found ways to be creative and sustainable through my designs. Adding fun elements of camp and fantasy that aided with the scripts clever writing. I ended up loving the final product.

Of course, I will always be my biggest critic and would have loved to make changes and have a Broadway budget. Yet, for the resources that I had, I am proud of how it all turned out.

RECOGNITION: Hard work really does pay off. Even when I felt I was not doing the most or making any notable achievements, I had the greatest honor of being recognized for my efforts.

Firstly with the Communication department I received the Arthur R. Maytum Scholarship which was awarded to outstanding returning Communication students demonstrating academic excellence.

I won the Reconstructing Narratives Photo competition which I have previously spoken about a few blogs ago.

Part of the Performing Arts Company, I was nominated for PAC Awards voted by the students of the department for Best Costume Design and I won! I did not even know those were a thing.

Then I recently discovered that I received the Laurel Walford Costume Scholarship for my efforts within the Theatre Department and in the costume shop.

As I said in part one, I was honored with Resident Assistant of the month and Community Building Program of the month too!

Now I feel like I have said what I wanted to say. There probably is more that I want to talk more about but for now this is it. This is all that I have done this spring semester at Fredonia.

All while making new Drag content weekly, juggling personal life matters, and just trying to make the most of my college experience. Although at some points it was dreadful, I am so beyond happy of what I have done.

And I feel that my efforts this semester truly have paid off because I was given very excited news of an opportunity for next semester for Fallon Angel. I am not at the liberty to disclose this information YET. But when I do y’all better pop out.

XOXO,

Fallon Angel
