wednesday's post
today was grading day/ learn what we're doing next marking period day.
i wrote down everything for the actors book,even though im not sure if i have to make one for my monologue.
during class it kinda dawned on me, like this is main stage time. i have been saying to katelyn like "this is going to be us in a few months! next marking period!" those few months are almost gone. november is here already and september was like 2 days ago. 2 months and its febuary. thats no time. like, stage managing is about to really start.
so melodramatic.but seriously. im scared. like what if i fuck up the show completely? OH WAIT almost did that already.
i think i was about to pee my pants when you gave me the look of "what did you do??" internally i was freaking out. on the verge of tears, then actual tears. all i was thinking was my first job,and i fucked it up. but luckily! it wasn't as bad as i thought. like seriously thank you for telling me the truth. cause i'd rather hear that i completely fucked up rather than it'll be fine. for future referance.
pg-100
today i took notes on actors book. i worked on the stage managers' book a bit, printing out the rehearsal reports and trying to label everything inside. i gave you the grades from the read through. and sent you the jess/lea letters for evalution,and almost jumped for joy knowing i didn't completely fuck up.

tuesday's post
today we continued with the speed through. me and kcovs i think did a pretty good job of handling it, both days. i just pisses me off to no end that some actors didn't have anything memorized. ANYTHING. we have been saying theres a speed through for forever. and parts were assigned months ago! memorize!
i sympathize i do. its alot for some people, but i think if you feel like you can't handle the part your given, than say something! or try your best! i know its alot to memorize some of the lead roles, but come on! there was so much time to atleast memorize more than a lot of people did.
what really pissed me off was the before time, both on thursday and tuesday. when some people wouldn't even try to look over the lines. they'd be fooling around or when i would say "please look over your lines" they'd close to laugh in my face and say yeah okay. it was driving me crazy. do your job actors,because when actual rehearsals come around, you better know that i will be doing all my job to the fullest for THEIR show and THEIR benifit.
pg-100
today i ran the speed through with katelyn, and i think we did a decent job. it was moving kind of slow through out, but we got it done. i also wrote down everything i had to email to our potential designers. then i cam ehome and counted all the words, calculated the grades, and put them into a very nice google doc after being a super dork and color coating everything.

monday's post
it feels like FOREVER since i've blogged. like i couldn't even tell you why. senior showcase of course,but that was like a week before this right? im not sure,but its back to blogging as usual.
today was MONOLOGUE DAYYYYY. i have to thank katelyn covington for even reminding me of monologues. i had no idea we had them. even though it was in my planner, i haven't looked at that in god knows how long. and with read through and senior showcase to worry about, it slipped my mind just a bit.
but i was prepared as i thought i could be. i was dressed, i paid attention to everyone's monologue, and i was the last to go. which is slightly scary because its usually the one that everyone remembers the most, but i was honestly not thinking about that. i was thinking more about trying to find my place,and if i couldn't i was going to try my best to replicate my monologue with chelsea and casey. yeah, i know we're not supposed to replicate or re-do that we have to react, but i felt like it as either suck alot or suck slightly less because i know what i'm doing. so i tried to really focus on putting someone there. like anyone there to talk to. toward the send there was a loose picture in my mind on who i was talking to (i ended up not mentally replicating) but i see what you mean about me clicking into my monologue to late. i feel like i go in unsure,but after awhile i step into character and everything,and it gets noticeably better.
i got 8th place from the top. just shy of the first half. so not nearly as bad as i thought. i'm actually happy,because i know that it doesn't count for as much for me as it does an actor. i have to widen my foot print. its always been an issue! my dance teacher has said the same thing; im very closed up with my stance. personally, i think it's a tall people thing. or a family thing,because i noticed that my dad does the same thing, he shrinks in on his stance. personally again, it makes me feel smaller, and i love feeling smaller, another tall people thing. BUT i think its an easy thing to correct for me. it'll feel awkward at first but i'll move on.
the freaking pacing and moving!!! it drives even me insane. i hate that i do it, and im not sure why i do. maybe i think it gets too boring when i just stand? i have no idea. or its the tension. i feel loose. but i guess im not. maybe i can't see it on me,or i dont know what to look for. but i just don't get how you see tension, i alwyas thought it was like stiffness like sore muscles, but i warmed up,so i shouldnt be stiff...
i'm sticking to tech. acting just drives me crazy,because i can't wrap my head around how to act and be yourself but a character at the same time.it just baffles me.
pg-100
after my babbling...today i deserve a 100 for dressing what i thought was properly,for an audition. i tried to approch the audition as possitivly as a pessimist can, and hoped for the best. i ended up 8th from the top, which was a shock to me atleast. yay for the middle! i'm really going to try my best to use my feedback nect time we have monologues or do any sort of acting. though now im seriously considering som sort of techincal major over an acting major.

wednesday's post
today we had the anti-bullying assembly so i'm not sure if i should blog?
but anyway we learned how to work our box office today, and i took notes on everything,because i don't want to loose any money during the mainstage. our box office will be trained daily, and we're not loosing money.simple as that.
afterwards, i cried in class. minor tears. just a touchy subject, especially since it's my imediate family. but i'm all good. and i thank the class for being supportive,or atleast not laughing for me crying over a bullying assembly.
pg-100
today i sent out emails about everyone's word count,which i'm seriously staying on top of. katelyn and i worked out how were going to run the read through tomorrow. today i also typed up the rest of my scansion,and my denotative analysis and fixed up my screen play before i email it to you.

tuesday's post
so today we read screen plays. we read ashley's and katelyn's and i gave critism on both. and i read for katelyn's. i really like seeing everyone's almost finished projects because, comparing to the begining of our "workshop" everyone's ideas were scattered and random and not fully developed. now everyone mostly has their characters and most of their plot, and it's fun to see the whole process. i'm really excited to read mine as soon as i can. i've been dying to have mine read,because i really want to see how it's accepted by everyone.
when i first started writing it, it thought the idea was a little out there,and that it wouldn't sound natural,but after what i've learned in our on-going workshop and having a couple of people read it, it feels really good. plus i have a play thats in the process of being fine tuned. i never thought i would like writng because usually my ideas are really scattered,but i keep getting ideas and i just want to write about them, even if they come out like crap.
pg-100
today i read for katelyn's screen play and gave her good feedback. i also gave feedback to ashley about her screen play. i started typing up my scansion today at home. katelyn and i are working on a big google doc for the mainstage, with contacts, roles, the script, and everyone's word count for the speed through. PLUS our stage managers' book is almost done.

monday's post
so today we were going to just get the projectors and the mac out of the theatre,but we ended up cleaning the entire theatre while looking for that projector bag. it did piss me off that so much stuff was in the dressing rooms and the costume loft, and everything was amess. but honestly, i can't get too mad because i know that the sophomore/junior class isn't perfect either. some stuff was from out class, but it was a lot less compared to the freshman/senior. though one positive thing about today is i tried to be on top of jobs for everyone,which i know i'm going to have to get used to soon. and while walking around i saw what we can clean up during our "theatre clean up days".
-i know the cage needs some fixing, but for the most part it's organized.
-the extension cord drawer needs organizing.
-i want to test all the lights and cable because after all our testing during tech week,the good lights got completely mixed up with the bad lights.
-COSTUME LOFT NEEDS MAJOR HELP.
-i think urine town is either going to get cleaned or organized? i know something is happening there.
-move the syke
thats just what i noticed for now.
pg-100
today i helped abbi with the projector when it was going through technical difficulties. i helped clean out the girl's dressing room of all the seniors stuff, threw out any trash in there too. lindsay, fernando, and i started to organize the costume loft, and made a specific rack for people to claim their stuff from all over the theatre. i looked for that stupid projector bag. and i tried to stay on top of everyone's jobs in the theatre,and found new jobs when people were done.
