Getting sooo close!

Wow sunday's rehursal was awsome, aside from the fact we spent more than the usual amount of hours at school on a non school day, i think it was so productive!

Firstly,the energy we put into space jump was so beneficial to our group as a whole. I felt so confortable getting up as apposed to the day we did space jump when we had just got our characters. This highlights that our ensemble as a group even when we are not performing Mirror, mirror is excellent. Also doing park bench in our characters really helped me to see the friend in a different light up until last week i had always imagined the friend being quite loud and overly exaggerated but i've realised that she is slightly like this but more of a all rounder type of person i feel she is a little bit of each kind a a friend possible. Yes, she is bright and bubbly like i always imagined but there is a whole different perspective she wants to fit in just like the girl does, with her family, frinds, boyfrind, socially,etc she too has a lot of pressure, however she is mentally healthy and has a good balance whereas the girl is caught up in her own perfection.
Sorry getting back to park bench... it really allowed me to be the friend sitting next to her and feel that connection in a non-scene of the play.

Also i was so relieved when i finally got to do my Best Friend scene i got goosebumps when i actually delivered my lines. It was such an awsome feeling to know that i can take on a character and feel what they are feeling. Oh and the last scene.... it is totally wiked!! That church music really sets the mood and i almost cried GO JOSH!. I really think the audience will be truly moved by our production, i cant wait!!!

I know that we don't have much time left and as i group i think that we wasted quite a bit of time at the beginnig but going through act one without stopping on Sunday showed me how capable we really are of pulling this off. At this point i think we are well on our way to a top performance.

My only anxieties at the moment are costume and hair changes so that i can show my diversity as an actor and truly maintain each chracter without looking similar i.e( completely changing hair each time will be a challenge) I also truly think that my sewing ability is developing because of this play lol

Ok well i think i have completely vented now, i hope!

Although just a reminder to Ali to take not on how she communticates with people as we are all doing our best to help.

Ok bibi

Rehursals!!!

Omg I cant belive we are almost at the end of week three! And we still have a whole other act to get through...

The last three weeks have been so exciting getting scenes blocked in and i think everyone kinda thought we had heaps of time but now its like two weeks til were on and i felt sick when i realised that to day. I dont mean to state the obvious and make eveyone stressed but i really think we are going to have to be so focused to polish this thing up!

I think as a group we are working well trying to encourage and keep people on the ball and most have really made a commitment which is so good. But i think there is still a slight bit of negativity in the group , in regards to when someone has an idea or is trying to help ,people get defenssive and make people feel guilty for expressing their thoughts.However, i think this cannot be avoided as our group is filled with so many talented and strong minded people that there are bound to be some power struggles.

I would also just like to say that josh is doing a fantastic job!(Everyone else is too with acting!!!!) But for someone to put so much thought and effort into the music for our play it is so awsome!
In the past few rehursals i have really enjoyed the "Dancing Ponies" scene because the music is so compelling and easy to get into which gives makes me want to put all my energy into not only this scene but all the ones i am involved in.

The only thing im nervous about is that i am going to loose my hoola hoop on stage lol i hope i get one soon so i can practise.....

Well know that i've put all my random thoughts down im going to add in a few pics i have found to help with character development
