Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Every day I walk into my school and I am reminded of the talent and work ethic my students have. The students have been without the performing and fine arts for the past three years. In the short time since I have moved to their area and restarted this theater program, I have learned one thing. These students are ready to take the stage, learn and grow. In a few weeks, I am taking my students to see a play at a nearby regional theater. I had one student come to me and thanked me because he had never had the opportunity to see or play before. In this city so rich and full of cultural there are students who have never been exposed to the arts before.

I teach students that are predominantly Hispanic and African American, who come from low social economic backgrounds.

Every day they are experiencing new things in Theatre classes. I had a student who after reading a scene from a play identify with the pain and suffering of a character and tell me that is just like me. If that character can get through tough times so can I.

My Project

My students will learn the basics of lighting engineering. Students will work in small collaborative groups to learn to create and engineer special effects for theatrical performances. Groups will be building and installing a DMX lighting system in our school’s black box theater. Students will learn to correctly calculate voltage versus wattage output and find the correct current pull on the theater’s electrical grid. They will learn how to use AutoCAD drafting software to create a digital electrical schematic plot. Finally, students will learn to how to take the science of lighting engineering to use creatively as a form of expression.

Be a STAR and light our stage.

This project will allow students to look past the science and mathematics of electricity and see a creative real-world application and viable career in the arts which is why I am requesting the MYDMX Controller, a wireless transmitter.
