...GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS...

today was my first lunch time rehearsal with macey..

it went quite well but now i am seeing the difficult side of my character! the straight part in which i was warned about very early on! In order to get a good mark i must show my diversity and not always play the victim throughout the play..

even tho i think the GIRL is a victim when it comes to the VOICE..
she is constantly depressed because of the things the voice says in her head.

In scenes like AERIAL BALLET, the diary entry i must show my true self.. the freedom speech, through this i must show the almost obsessive side of the girl..
I LOVE MY HIP BONES AND I LOVE MY NECK BONES.
In her diary she acknowledges the fact that she is thin and that SHE is making herself this way!This can become quite confusing 2 portray, as it is thought anorexic ppl see themselves as FAT when the look in the mirror BUT this scene is suggesting they don't! In fact it is suggesting that it is a choice the sufferers are aware of.
The girl is choosing 2 have the control by NOT 2 eating.. :s ahhh help lol!

MOVEMENT..
i love the fact Maddy does ballet and can teach me dances so i don't look like a complete retard out there. The 2 scenes which have the most physical movement for my character all incorporate the voice as well! I saw that maddy's blog gave me a bit of praising, so i just thought i best say how i feel workin with you :) yes thats rite happy1 I can see u put in the effort as well and when it comes 2 wat some would say as 'corny' scenes u realli help me 2 focus on what we need 2 get across 2 the audience.Helping me 2 stay true 2 the directors intent, so yea thank you maddy.
Just a qucik note everyone is doing so well, i have faith in this play so dont doubt urself! keep up the good work coz u are all SHINING STARS no matter who u are lalalalala.. ahhh i betta go home before i go crazy ;p

AND IM OUT! XXOO

WK 3 in detail.. just 2 make myself feel betta, maybe even a lil shelfish... NOT (thankyou borat)

SORRY GUYS JUST GOING BACK 2 WK 3 QUICKLY

WEDNESDAY

Maddy and i stayed back on wednesday night, i think it was a while now lol! Well we continued to work on the dinner scene which is very physical and full of movement, all the movement is choregraphed step by step and the voice acts as a puppeteer leading the girl to the TOLET(yes thats rite, tolet! exactly how i say it!) I cant wait till our performance but im getting a bit stressed as to whether ill be ready. Cant wait to perform that particular scene infront of an audience as its so powerful in the way the voice lures the girl without even touching her.

THURSDAY

Stayed back on thursday aswell. Firstly holly, bec (as the voice) and I ran through first check-up workin out characters intentions behind the words, which was really good and left me feeling confident about a scene i twas a tad iffy on! I also helped out macey with the tent set up.. i came up with the idea 4 the PINS.. who thought i could be that smart lol!So that left me feeling better not leavin miss mace with a hard job 2 do by herself, i also only found out that nite bout some bitchy blog comments but i think that time has gone and past now.. kinda glad i was slack and hadnt checked ppl's blogs otherwise im sure it could have a lots worst then needed.

Aritey.. 2 miss mace mainly hehe... I dont comment ppl 4 reason

1. sometimes i cant be bothered

2. i dont want ppl 2 find it annoying that i suggest things as they may take it the wrong way, like in class sometimes.. who here hasnt had a fight with someone on MSN becasue of the fact they read something the completely wrong way..

so NO im NOT selfish (gggrrrrrrrrr >: plus evil eyes or mono-brow) if i wanna say something i will just come talk 2 u peoples, as i find it a more affective way 2 get my point or comment across OK... OK! :)

FRIDAY

I was absent... and coming in on Monday and seeing the tickets Victoria had done and the posters Luke had done, was a reality check.. like HELLO JENNA we're on in less than 2 weeks! But just wanna say its all lookin realli good and i heard from leonals the ideas 4 front of house and I'm sure everyone else is very busy helping others like ally etc.

WK 3

Ok so haven't written in a while, but you kno how it is...

So far our class is behind by a full week. This is a lil worrying but i have no doubt we will get there as long as we put in the effort! Hopefully we can help macey to start ticking of her list of 2 do things by ppl staying back and helping setting up performance space etc. NOTE may not b able 2 stay 4 long as i am going 2 Corn 4 the wkd and leavin Friday nite!

I am slowly but surely crossing off my own check list, and researching further into my character. Im finding my time management a bit hard and even though we are only meant 2 see drama as a normal subject worth only 3 hours of our time it seems to take much much much more of my time up.. not sure whether its just coz i feel 2 properly do my job in the production i feel as though i need 2 spend so much time on it OR just coz i want 2 be an actor OR just because i actually enjoy the subject, well the prac side of things lol!

Concerns i have is our Thursday nite rehearsals which either 1. ppl don't put the rite amount of effort in or 2. ppl want 2 do wat they think is best, not wat macey has told us 2 do!
So this Thursday afta 2 Thursday not of not rehearsing as much as possible i hope we can stay on track and get scenes we have gone ova polished, so they look like they could be performed!

well i would write more but im a lil busy bee and must go start setting up catering stuff cooking today ahhhh!!!! cya all in lesson 4 & 5
much love the UNSHELFISH jenna :) xoxo
