wednesday's post

today we finished the feedback on our monologues. i have to say that i was a bit surprised that i did well-ish.i definatly understood my corrections.my big one being that i think too much. i ALWAYS hear that. from my dance teacher,from singing and acting coaches in the past. it's insane.but i dont get how you dont think! like how can you shut off your "real self" ? like while i'm in character, so jeannie, how do i stop michelle from being there too? you just shut off? i never ever got how you can stop your thinking.everyone says just do it,but i odnt know why thats so hard for me to wrap my head around!!! so frustrating.

besides that, we finished our set design-sketch things/free draws/mind socs. (i some how stopped thinking there!) i felt like i explained what i understood from ashley, which worked. her idea was actually something i didnt think about when i read romeo and juliet,so i thought it was really creative that way. oleanna on the other hand; i keep reading it,hoping i understand what is happening and each time i dont really get it untill the middle of the play,when the sexual harasment charges are brought up.and even then its kind of just an idea of what the characters actually mean. so me explaining it to ashley probably sounded like a crazy person.but she said exactly what i was thinking,so something must have happened there.

then we discussed the frames of theatre. which i got fairly well.frames really help the set designers see just the world they are creating.i also really love the idea of a thrust stage. because i feel like it not only puches the audiance into the world, but can make them see a more "full world" because you can see the set alomost like a real room, your at one spot yet you see things in 3-D. even if its more difficult i think thats the best way to see a show.

today i got my feedback from my monologue,and took notes on them. i also presented ashley's set idea to the class. i participated in the shoe game,even though i got out early. then i took notes on the frames of theatre,and participated in the discussion by asking alot of questions.
