I was the only female sound designer who was there.\u201d Durham said, \u201cSo it was a little intimidating, especially because I was the youngest. Normally Freshmen don\u2019t get to design, but UTC has tons of opportunities for Freshmen&#8211;if you\u2019re motivated, you can do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Durham explained that nominees present their work to a panel of judges at the festival. After the presentation there is a talk-back session where judges can learn more about the individual\u2019s design process. Throughout the festival, judges also keep their eyes open for one stand-out individual glowing with potential. Only one individual is chosen per region, but they can be working in a number of stagecraft specialties. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHonestly I was not paying attention at all during the award ceremony because nobody else had won anything and they were all older than me. I was the only Freshman there and so we were all kind of thinking, \u2018nobody\u2019s going to really win anything, but this is a fun experience.\u2019 So I was not paying attention at all and they were talking about this new award that they were giving out called the Don Child\u2019s award and basically it is for a promising, upcoming designer; it\u2019s all of the fields&#8211;who do they think is the most promising? Who do they want to give a chance to have an internship at the Stagecraft Institute, which is in Las Vegas. So I was thinking to myself, \u2018okay, this has nothing to do with me,\u2019 because there were so many designers there; and then they called my name,\u201d Durham said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This particular award provides a full tuition grant, housing, and meals for the winner to attend the Stagecraft Institute over the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Durham\u2019s passion for theater began in high school. She pinpoints her theater teacher at Signal Mountain High School, John Lennon, as her inspiration to pursue the art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once she became involved in the theatre department at UTC, she knew this was where she belonged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAs soon as I joined the theatre department it was, boom, this is the place for me. I don\u2019t want to go anywhere else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Durham concluded, \u201cThere are so many opportunities here if you just make yourself do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UTC\u2019s Theatre department was well represented at this year\u2019s regional Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) in Charleston, South Carolina; but Freshman Alex Durham stole the show when she was named for two distinguished honors: first place in sound design for her work in Our Town and the prestigious Don Childs Stagecraft Institute of&hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2016\/04\/freshman-alex-durham-steals-show-regional-kcact-festival\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":858,"featured_media":15195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,61,8244,661,12776],"tags":[55,12688,47986],"class_list":{"0":"post-15162","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","9":"category-honors-and-awards","10":"category-students","11":"category-theatre-speech","12":"tag-college-of-arts-and-sciences","13":"tag-department-of-theatre-and-speech","14":"tag-kcactf","15":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
