Blogs For The Week

Monday
Tonight I once again went over my lines, I wanna make sure when we start rehearsals that I got my lines ready to go. I went over Act 1 and Act 2 a lot. But I'm positive I got this. =)
Tuesday
Tonight I continued with my given circumstances! I'm getting along with it and I'm almost done!! It's to the point where I get to make up stuff and it's a lot of fun.
Wednesday
Tonight I went over my lines in a different Act once again. The most trouble I have with is I think it's Act 4? Yes maybe, but hopefully it'll start just really grinding into my head.
Thursday
Tonight I switched back over to given circumstances. I love making up my childhood. Just adding all of the friends that I had, and all of the mortal enemies I had, I think it really impacts my character actually. Also there is just so many memories now of just Antiphilus Of Syracuse in my head. =)

Monday P.G. : 100
Today I deserve a 100 because we went over some possible stunts for the traveling circus people. I did my tuck back, which I think I did good on. Also I practiced my dive roll over Zari while she's in a stratal. I wish she could go higher because then I could really show off.
Tuesday : LATE
Wednesday P.G. : 100
Today I deserve a 100 because I helped start taping the ground plan with Michelle and Miguel. I felt really good since I was the one figuring out all of the measurements, and giving them to them, and making sure it looked right. I'm really good at math so this was one of my strong points.
Thursday P.G. : NO SCHOOL
Friday P.G. : 100
Today I deserve a 100 because I tried like anything to get to school for theatre. Once I got there I tried to help Aladren with the measurements but she was ignoring me. haha. So then I just sat quietly and listened to her tell us about safety procedures.

Blogs For The Week

Monday

Tonight I worked on my given circumstances. They are coming along pretty nicely, it is easier than i thought it would be. I worked on my childhood memories, how the character got through school, all of his school friends and all that fun stuff. I'm beginning to think 10 pages is gonna be nothing at all.

Tuesday

Tonight I took a break from the given circumstances and ran through my lines. I ran through the whole script and then after worked on the lines that gave me a hard time. There starting to really stick there up in my head. I'm really excited to perform this show, I hope I do well.

Wednesday

Tonight I went through the script and looked for anymore possible clues to given circumstances that lines up with my life. It seems I'm a real business man, so I need to work more on that whole career, and how I found out about my siblings, and what pushed me to the point of looking for them. It won't be too hard I think to try and put those pieces together.

Thursday

Tonight I was more just thinking about my character. Trying to imprint all of my given circumstances into my head. I guess trying to create the false memories in my mind so the next time we rehearse I can just pick and choose and really create more of my character.

Monday

Tonight I mostly went over my lines to just refresh my memory. Since we're starting with rehearsals and blocking, lines would be a good idea. Also I worked on my given circumstances to further understand my relationship with Dromio of Syracuse. It's hard understanding the master/slave concept because it also runs along the line as brothers and playful.

Tuesday

Tonight I worked more on given circumstances with the relationship with Dromio and the First Merchant. With the first merchant it is obviously a some what sexual between us, I'm guessing I've had contact with her before, I guess with previous trading or whatever. With Dromio with todays scene I was trying to figure out whether I was angry or I was just playing around with her. I feel like if she drank my coffee I'd be pretty pissed but I don't know.

Wednesday

Tonight I switched back over to running my lines. I went over Act 4 because that is the act I have the most issues and dropped words with. Running them in my head seems to help a lot, I see other people and they have to run them with people to know it, but I feel like you can't always rely on the other person just in case someone drops a line or someone isn't here for rehearsal its better to know back and forth.

Thursday

Tonight I went over Act 5 lines, it didn't take that long since I don't have to many lines in it. So I went back to Act 2 and redid those lines. I honestly hate that bald head conversation. Like why does Dromio have to get me so off track all the time! haha. Well either way I still know it. I hope Aladren cuts those lines. And the end part of Act 2 gets me sometimes, just because I think Adriana has so many lines.

Monday

Tonight I went over lines to keep them fresh in my mind, for whenever I get to go up for scenes.
Also I've been researching my character's environment tonight. I'm looking at syracusian photos to see where I came from and how I grew up.

Tuesday

Tonight I continued to go over my lines, while I stayed home, since my mom was dealing with packing and stuff, I just kept going over mostly Act 2 scene 1. Also, I started to almost make up my childhood, since in the text there's not much about my childhood except when I am lost. It's really fun to make up my own life, it makes it as clear as a memory.

Wednesday

Tonight I worked on going over my lines for Comedy of Errors, it's coming quicker and quicker and I'm really excited for March. The given circumstances is the pretty much same continuation off of last night's, just creating the childhood memories of scraping knees, and all that jazz. It's not as hard as I thought it would be, this whole thing, it's more of realization of how much I enjoy doing this I guess.

Thursday

This night I didn't go over my lines too much. Given circumstances is also a pretty confusing thing sometimes. I'm afraid to go ahead and make assumptions for things, like when, and where in Syracuse, but I guess our director will tell us her decision after she hears our ideas.
