theatre studies is cool…honest :-P

ACTING WISE

ok we have now blocked the whole 100. And now we have begun the process of running through the whole thing/bits and pieces/fine tuning. This is a good step. This week I have tried to keep focus. In the process of doing this I now know what to do to avoid laughing. Before some of my fellow actoirs starts laughing you can tell when they hold it in by the fact that their nostrils flare out. All i have to do is avoid eye contact and look away.

On Tuesday we blocked the bed scene. Boy was that awkward, we also had an audient in the room. I have to get over my immaturity and start acting. What I also need to do is not “act” as Coops would say just act. I have to really go over what makes Alex move somewhere, or make a decision. Why he would say what he has to say or why he cant say somethingEG why he cant come up with a good enough memory. Friday was also not Tasha’s best day as we stopped the class just for her, coz she’s so special-she’s Tash =D . On Friday we then started a run with no scripts. This is where I’m starting to feel pressure. Everyone blew me away! Now over the whole holidays I’m going to be learning my lines.

AUDIOWISE

I’ve now noticed thanks to Jarod’s advice that i need to do a bit of work on audio. Over the weekend i’m hoping to write out my possible soundscape.    

WHERE HAS TASHA BIN ALL MY LIFE? LOL :) 

Well, this week has really been a blur!

Firstly unfortuantely vineblogs wasn’t working last week so i wasn’t able to write week 5 to its full potential. This is what I can remember-

We started blocking the memory scenes as Cooper was not present one of the days, so Lisa realli  was the director. She is doing som,e fantastic work, keep it up. So with most of the memories blocked all we needed was Cooper to block the voids in between. What really worried me was that it actually took twice as long to block the voids then the memories. But having said that in the blocked memories it took us just as long because we had to go over them again as I personally didnt remember what i had to.

 Audiowise

Well, tracks are present on the CD. Not actually sure what will go with what but we do both(me and Jarod) have a good idea of where each sound(actor-made or not) is going. Soon after a class, Jarod, we’l have to agree on what song will go for what so bring in everything that day. I’ll also bring in the other theme song I’m considering by Coldplay.

 Ok, week 5-done to the best of my ability.

WEEK 6

Our double (my one lesson,sorry guys!) had been blocking the voids. We had also gone through lunch. I’m trying reali hard to keep focus that Nia is Alx’s boyfriend, and that they’re facing eternity and everything is serious. I CAN’T. I’m in a room full of Theatre Studies budz laughing and everytime I look at Tasha i try to act serious- but dammit I can’t. I don’t know why. She cracks me up! Its something i’m gonna have to work on. On Cooper’s actual  birthday we did more blocking. It was good. I admit that lesson was the first lesson I realised I was struggling to keep up with everyone. i was listening but to be honest I dont think anything was actually registering, sorry.

 Friday, we through Coops a surprise birthday, YAY. I had fun even if others didn’t(which i’m sure wasn’t the case). But I already can’t believe that all of my yr 12 theatre family won’t be here next year…

My Audit 

AHHHHHHH! I have so much to work on now. That lunchtime gave me such an information overload. But I am so thankful it actually happened because like u said Coops now I have a better idea of what is expected of me and what I can contribute to future classes.

U guys (and Coops) have meant so much so far, u’ve all helped me out sooo much. i don’t think I could be coping without you guys.
