thursday's post

acting thrusdays!!!

i really like thursdays because were actually in the theatre,and i feel like i can actually stage manage, a bit, sort of.like turning on the lights,and running to the classroom. it makes me feel like i have a job in a way.

but anyway, i got to work on my monologue today. which was good, because even if i sucked with my monologue, i got to work on it. i'm learning something. i see how i now have to discover my lines, which i understand. but its hard for me,because i feel like its going to come out fake. so i've been pre-thinking it, which is an old habit, that has worked for years,and since last year it hasn't been as successful, so obviously that has to change. i also learned that i have to see my space in detail,and be able to pull it up when doing my monologue. i think that will also help me with your comment from the beginning of the year which was to "click in" to my monologue from the beginning.this includes knowing my immediate surroundings and the ring i have.

the exorsize today though...yeah make the grade obsesser look for a pencil she can't find and take points off. WHILE having people count and just stare at me. the counting was really driving me insane. because that kept making me think of points dropping off my grade,and not finding the pencil and people being there just WATCHING me. but then on the flip side, when i knew where the pencil was, i was almost afraid to find it! because i felt like, its fake, it doesn't look right, i looks like i was just acting like i was looking for the pencil before; so i skipped over it on purpose. my god, i have to stop thinking.

i think once i work on discovering my lines, it will help alot. not only with shakespeare but acting in general,because i felt like i couldn't "discover" my lines last year with freshie showcase.

QUICK INSPIRING DIRECTORS COMMENT: when emily was going, and she was kind of holding back and laughing, i really saw how almost annoying it was, when she would have the drive and go for it, but then drop it like 5 seconds later. i wanted her so badly to just keep with her drive of the character and her anger comiung out, because it was really making the character. just my thoughts....

today i was prepared with my blacks and script. i got to try my monologue today, and thought it was a good learning experience. i'm really going to TRY to just not think, and forget about the people watching because thats all i think about when on stage. i tried to find the pencil , which teahces me to discover my lines. (which i will also work on.) and i'm going to think more about my surroundings to help me click into character.

friday's post

writing day today! i'm really enjoying writing now. last year i was never really fond of writing,but this year i'm enjoying it. i love hearing other people's ideas and how their writing is going. like i wish we could have a week by week update of everyone's projects.

today i did not get to read, but i'm hoping and praying that i get called next week. i'm planning on turing my play into a screen play,because the set would change to much in a play. the one down side is i worte a really good monologue,which is actaully my favorite part of the play, and i'm thinking its going to have to get shortened, or completly taken out. but maybe its for the best, if this screen play turns out well.

today i wrote my soc, which again i really want to read. i gave criticism about abbi's piece,which i also got to read, and loved, even in the rough stage its in i loved the story. and i gave feedback on miguel's screen play,  which was interesting, a bit confusing, but it makes you think a bit; and i also read parts of his screen play.
