Taming of the Shrew

I feel like I should blog about this because we watched seven different videos of it. But since it is testing, I do not have the time and energy to go find the paper I took the notes on. I will come back to fill in this gap. But probably during summer when I have time for things again.

May Show (Medea and Seussical)

sadkfjhlskdjfhksldjfh REALLY SORRY, I'LL GET BACK TO THIS ASAP.

Medea Rehearsals

SAME AS BELOW. NEED TO FINISH WORLD LIT.

May Show Rehearsals

I REALLY NEED TO BLOG ABOUT THIS BUT HONESTLY, I DO NOT HAVE TIME SO I WILL GET BACK TO IT. I JUST NEED TO RESERVE IT SO THE DATE COMES OUT PROPERLY.

Medea Costuming

Dhara tried to teach us how to make "togas" out of bedsheets today. We're not very good at it at all but it reminds me of Greek Festival in sixth grade. I don't feel like this is the best way to do it, but good enough. I couldn't find the right sheets but I'm not going to be allowed to by any so right now I'm using white sheets with little flowers on them. Please pray that Ms. Karr doesn't notice.

**EDIT: So apparently, all of our togas look sloppy except Cindy's and my prayers didn't work because she noticed. Now I potentially need to buy new sheets. Let's hope not. I don't really know what else I can say about this, honestly.

Medea

So we started this a long time ago, but a bunch of people are always missing for testing and everything. We didn't really get anything done today, either. Our whole class isn't very good at acting at all. It's not our thing. Chorus is incredibly awkward. We got regrouped. I used to be Seleena's partner but now Ms. Karr split us into four groups of three. We don't really know what to do with ourselves and we mess up our lines a lot even though we only have like three. There's also large chunks cut out from the original script in order to fit the piece into the time limit. I'm kind of sad. I was absent the day they casted this show so I couldn't be one of the Nurses or Medea. Oh well. Now I don't need to remember as many lines. Well, right now, I can just say that we're going to suck. And that's basically it.

Practice TPPP

This is obviously not the right date for this since I was in testing this day. However, I cannot remember the correct date so this will be the new date for this post. I hate this. I'm not creative at all. But anyways, I had to write about Cindy's stimulus which happened to be the poem (different from mine). From her information, it was a lot of history background so I basically only got a sense of a setting from that. I made the rest of it up. About some guy, who's in a hospital bed, dying. He's recording videos to express his bitterness and unhappiness throughout his life. As he dictates the videos, the events he speaks of would be acted out or something. I'm so cool. The piece would be in proscenium theater and the dude would be in the front with maybe a spotlight on him when he comes on again. As he begins recording the videos, his voice will fade away with the light that is focused on him and the lights would come on in the back to show the play that would be acted out. It's basically a bunch of little stories together.

**EDIT: I just realized I didn't even write about my own pitch. I chose my stimulus as the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon and I focused on the stuffed doll that Calvin believes to be Hobbes. Uh, now I have deja vu so maybe I have written about this? Okay, I'll stop now.
