First Showing of IB Pieces

This was kind of scary at first because the seniors still intimidate me sometimes. Especially Kevin because he always has that "I'm so bored, everyone's so bad, why am I wasting my time here" face. Or maybe he just naturally does that. I don't know. Anyways, we hadn't really gone through this with actual movement on a stage. It was more of reading lines and working on reading them the right way. And we have not yet found all of our props (slightly worried about how our flying contraption is going to work)so some of the movement that is supposed to involve food or whatever is not doing so great. Plus, I really don't know how the crash is going to work because it just looks kind of awkward since I'm just standing there. And I suddenly fall over when it looks like Natalie just sort of ran over to where I was. The floor is very hard, just so you know. Very hard. I have developed this new bruise on my knee because I hit it on the floor. I'm also a bit worried about the election part because Kermeka told me and Natalie to run back and forth in the FRONT but I kind of stayed in the back because doesn't it look weird to have us running in front of the main characters? I don't know. Kermeka still told me to run in the front after, so I guess it looks better from the audience than it does in my imagination.
The commmedia(sp?) group was really funny. I kind of wish I was in that group since I've never been very good at anything serious and our piece is about politics. Politics is not exactly Chowder-like. (Sidenote: Chowder's my favorite cartoon ever.) Like Water for Chocolate was okay-ish but Kevin and Eric both have some of the awkwardest acting ever. I can't even describe it. They're always funny even when they're serious like during the stabbing scene. The chronological order of the piece was also a bit weird because I really could not understand how Seleena was talking about Mama Elena dying and her diaries but then Mama Elena is alive again in the end? I don't know. Didn't really like that book so I skipped parts of it. Maybe she reincarnates or something.
