Stop the World I Wanna Get Off
Here is what I have learned over the last two blurry days:
1)Sleep is for wimps
2)Bathing is for wimps
3)Homework is for wimps
However,
4)Acting is a necessity for survival.
5)It is particularly helpful when constructing excuses for your teachers as to why you do not have your homework.
Yesterday is one huge blur.
Acting class has evolved into a body shaping class. First we stretch, then we do light aerobics (neurotic fish) endurence and coordination training (the dowls) and then weight training (carrying people from one end of the room to another.) If I haven't lost six dress sizes by the end of this term I'm gonna be wanting my money back.
Rehearsed with Yaritza for two hours yesterday. The scene is coming along. We tried some new things like reversing roles and then reading the scene, that helped both of us get a better sense of our characters, seeing how the other would play them. Then we got to talking about how neither of us are very comfortable with our bodies on stage, so we did a run through where we just totally exaggerated all of our gestures and movements. Discovered that what is exaggerated for us is prolly closer to normal for most people. we also did some heavy duty line by line analysis of the text. We could have done that all night if I didn't have to go to my other rehearsal.
Another rehearsal which by the way lasted FOUR hours!!! From 7-11 ensemble belonged to Liz. By 9 we all started asking ourselves why we auditioned in the first place. I have a few more lines, mainly narration. And I get to be in the big square dance, eep. Aside from being mighty long, rehearsal was okay. One bad part was when Adam snapped at me for asking about his hair. That kinda hurt my feelings because I've decided I have a baby crush on him too.
By the time rehearsal let out I was so tired I blew off my homework and just went home to bed. Today I'm skipping classes because, well if I didn't there is no way I'd be getting any HW done today, or have been able to refill my Zoloft, or gone to the book store to buy various writing supplies, all of which I should have done at the beginning of the week.
Gotta memorize my scene, gotta learn my lines, gotta write my acting journal, gotta write my feminism journal, gotta find a monologue, gotta write my daily responses, gotta do my reading, gotta write my daily questions...
I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
