Monday:

Tonight I read a bit of Tartuffe. I read where Dorine is getting Damis to help her plan against Mariane marrying Tartuffe. I'm like literally praying that she does not have to.

P.G. : ABSENT

Tuesday:

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe. This is the part where I actually get to "meet" Tartuffe. I guess right now Tartuffe is telling Dorine she is ugly and he is doing it back. He knows something is up and I think he's preparing himself. I'm going to continue reading.

Today I deserve a 100 because I am continuing to grow as an artist. We had the day to film so I rehearsed with everyone while our director made everything was okay for filming the next day. Abbi was practicing shots with us and I found myself getting interested in Cinematography.

Wednesday:

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe. I was completely wrong about him thinking they were up to something! He openly declared his love for Elmire, when she has a husband. This is really crazy and I just cannot believe it. I am supposing that Elmire does not feel the same way by what she said to him. I am also extremely happy that she is basically forcing Tartuffe to enforce Mariane's marriage with Valere.

Today I deserve a 100 because I started with the first day of filming. I got into costume and makeup and warmed up. Film is so much different from theatre and it is actually a little more difficult because I have to tone my self down. And unlike things on the stage, the camera sees everything and it looks really fake unless you really act.

Thursday:

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe. Damis heard everything Tartuffe said! Elmire is trying to get him to be quiet but I honestly do not think he will be. Good, I kind of hate Tartuffe myself, and these lovers deserve the truth and the freedom.

P.G. : 100

Today I deserve a 100 because I handled filming really well today. Something happened with a prop yesterday so now we have to film everything again. But since we troubleshot yesterday we have everything down pat today. Today the shots came out better because I really focused myself to be real in front of the camera and Lexii said it was working so I am proud of myself.

Friday: Dance Spring Concert.

I only read a little of Tartuffe tonight but wow! I cannot believe Orgon is gonna make Mariane marry Tartuffe. His own daughter! And obviously by the way Mariane reacted she does not want to marry him and this is going against her will.

Here's some vocab words:

Decorum:Dignified propriety of behavior

Zealot:A fanatical person

Grandeur:The quality of state of being impressive or awesome

Tonight I continued on from last night with reading Tartuffe. What was most interesting to me is this part after Orgon announcing to Mariane that she was going to marry Tartuffe. This conversation that continues after that is with Orgon and and Dorine. It is pretty funny actually that Orgon is so ignorant to what his daughters really want and maybe that he is making the wrong decision. Honestly Dorine was right when she said that Tartuffe is off the street and he is making his daughter marry a bum basically. One part I wasn't sure about was if Dorine was saying that Mariane is bound to cheat on him, I'm pretty sure though. She said something about being cuckold.

Wednesday:

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe. I am so happy Dorine wants to help Mariane. Mariane really needs to step up a little like Dorine was saying. Even though it might be hard at the time period but she really needs to speak her mind. Also considering that she is in love with Valere. I just wish I knew what was wrong with Orgon, like can't he just stop? I really want to know what's got him all "head over heels" for Tartuffe. I can't wait to read how Mariane gets out of the marriage.

Today was a half day and we didn't get to film but we helped tech for Cleo Mack's dance show. I started by taking the frame thongs to the trailer but I got called down to do a fitness workshop with an Olympic runner. I still feel like I deserve a 100.

Thursday:

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe again. That was so stupid about Mariane and Valere's fight. I actually was fooled for the moment that they were actually going to break up. I give props to Dorine for jumping in and fixing it before it actually stopped the relationship. And she was smart for proposing that idea to keep Mariane and Tartuffe separated. I hope this works.

Monday

Tonight I started reading Tartuffe, and I am enjoying it so far. I can't exactly tell whats going on but I am sure I will get the hang of it. Madame Pernelle just keeps talking about how everyone should listen to Tartuffe. She talks about him like he is high priest that knows everything or something. I agreed with the one character that maybe she is just in love with him. I guess its a possibilty.

Today we attempted our independent activity. My activity was to balance a spoon on my nose/face for one minute. I should have guessed that it would interfere with actually speaking during repetition, which is my own stupidity. I'm going to come in next Monday and be prepared with a new activity and my mind blank for repetition.

Tuesday

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe. Elmire and Orgon seem weird to me. For example, I know that Madame Pernelle does not approve, or at least thats what I got from the text, and it seems that Orgon is right with his mother on approving of Tartuffe. From what the play is saying so far, Orgon is waiting on Tartuffe's every movement? Which I do not know, with him being a bum right off of the street I do not really understand.

Today, I got to learn about the Globe Theater. I love the history behind the Globe and the South of London. It's expanding my knowledge and I surprisingly enjoy it. This year, specifically recently, I've had a booming interest in my own education, and learning just this little tid-bit in theatre today just drives me forward to know more, I'm hungry for knowledge!!!!!!! =D

Wednesday

Tonight I continued reading Tartuffe. I was wondering on the other side of things whether the "children" for lack of a better word are right. Is Tartuffe wrong in what he is doing: giving orders, having a servant, running the household. It makes me on edge and puts me on the cautious side. I do not know who is right or wrong at this point, I'm dying to know!!!!!

P.G. : 100

Today we started working on filming I guess? Our filming team seems a little unstable and unreliable. But I'm not gonna sit around and watch this happen, I'll do what I can. I'm going to listen to my director Lexii and I guess do what she asks, she is above me in the hierarchy and I need to respect that, I feel like it's a good instance to be learning from that also.

Thursday

Tonight, I obviously continued Tartuffe. Orgon is really pushing his luck with Cleante. Like he really has to disregard all of his friends and blind himself to only see Tartuffe? Cleante is definitely right in this matter. I also cannot believe he's putting off the wedding! How could he do that to poor Elmire? And he hasn't even explained himself yet, or so far that I have read. That is in my opinion dispicable, and I just know it's because of Tartuffe.

P.G. : 100

Today we continued to work on filming. I felt that it was so irresponsible for Lexii to leave her director's book with Rebecca. And as I said the day before I was going to offer my help, Lexii and Rebecca's reply were that they did not need it. So as she went to take pictures of a different location, and left me with absolutely nothing to do, I made myself useful to Aladren to at least get something done. I felt this need to do something and to get shit done. I've never felt like this before. I'm feeling things and going places that I never thought I ever would and I cannot thank this program and Aladren enough for it. Oh lessons.

Today we furthered our knowledge in nutrition. From just talking about everything last Friday I have decided to quit sodas and move onto just water. This is making me see how bad of eating habits I really have. I want to change myself for the better, I do not want to be the grease ball eating fast food, and depriving my body of all nutrients, which is what I've been doing for months and months and months. I feel it, and I'm done living like that. I WILL be healthy and I am gonna start gym up again to equal everything out with exercise. I can't wait. The nutrition is another thing with the craving for knowledge. It's amazing, I feel my growth as an artist really firing up.

Blogs for the Week,

Monday :

Tonight I read fuenteovejuna, it was really interesting. To start off with the play introduces you to the Commander, the Commander goes to see the Master about the Master receiving his title. He talks to him about going to war with the commander so that he can prove his self worthy to his subjects and to earn respect. I think this is a little out of wack, I mean, if the Master received his title why should he have to prove himself anymore, obviously if he received it he fit enough to hold it.

Tuesday:

Tonight I started on Act 1 Scene 2 of Fuente. In this section you are introduced to Pascuala, Laurencia, Mengo, and Barrildo and also Frondoso; they are asking Laurencia's opinion about whether love exists. To skip to the end, Flores, which is the Commander's servant, comes to tell the group about the battle the Commander and the Master had just one, and he returns to Fuenteovejuna. First I believe love exists. This is almost a really touchy subject for me because I know I have felt it and ran with it and still feel it.

P.G. : 89

Wednesday:

Tonight I read Act 1 Scene 4. It opens up to a field in Fuenteovejuna, and Frondoso is trying to "get" with Laurencia and asking her to Marry him. The the Commander comes in to the scene and he tries to tell Laurencia that he can force her to love himself. So, Frondoso gets the Commander's bow and protects Laurencia. How can the Commander come between true love, I guess he's just ignorant and really thinks he can have whatever he wants. Maybe it was that way back in that time, I know there were arranged marriages and things like that.

Thursday:

Tonight I read Act 2 Scene 1. Laurencia's father and Juan Rojo are talking about what the Commander did to Laurencia in the field. Then the Commander enters and says in the city the husbands' of women would feel proud that the Commanders were interested in their wives, and he tells Laurencia's father to talk some sense into Laurencia. I hope that her father knows the right thing to do, and lets Laurencia do what her heart tells her to.
