FINALLY. everyone has brought their costumes.
GIRL - Red dress. Black heels. Little black bag. Black belt. Black cardigan.
GUY - Red button down shirt and black suit.
Louis - Black shirt and white vest. Checkered hat.
Melanie - White flowy dress.
Ken - Dusty grey suit.
Mark - Styrofoam and duct tape.
Mary - White top and pink silky skirt.
Pearl - Green top and corset and short black skirt.
Tod - T-Shirt on backwards and short khakis
Sophie - Shower cap, fake glasses, lose saggy top and long flowing skirt.
Brandon - Long sleeved cotton Tee and jeans.
Linda - Funky hairband, multi-coloured maxi dress over dusty grey vest, black tights and black shiny boots.
Manny - UNSEEN.
Mimi - All black attire.
It was awwwweeesomee.....costumes bring characters to life! Even during the acting I felt that energy.
Even tried the parts with Mr.Moss as ken and brandon. He just flows with the character. its amazing how he does it. Ms. Marshall did an amazing job with the mime. One look that she gave after the "its rude to bring your job on a date" made me realise that she IS a great actress. I have more respect for her now......
OH NO. I'm getting bored with my part.....that is a bad thing. I don't like to do that.....AND. props still not yet up! even tilly has her music....
oh well.
NEXT WEEK.
PERFORMANCE WEEK. *shivers with excitement*

Actors Journal #20 - Dressed up
100309
NO ONE BROUGHT THEIR COSTUMES TODAY. oh except Mark. And he's wearing red and black! Like me! We match and it is really really awesome. :D :D so glad I chose red and black.
Anyway, the stage is set up and abit awkward. The tables are too low for the chairs and there are no music, lights or props. And seriously....are the chairs the ones we are using for performance day? But whatever, its the acting that counts.
So we start and I can feel my energy sapping. Its like....a drain, or a toilet, and i'm being flushed down it. No one is in the mood or has one bit of excitement for what is yet to come exactly 7 days from today. I'm thinking it is replaced with anxiety? hmmmm.....oh well. all i can say is today felt terrible. Even my laughter scene with phumi felt awkward and uncomfortable.
Michelle is getting to be REALLY REALLY good at Louis. She is loud and obnoxious, and when Mr.Moss said "don't mind what she's doing." Michelle actually ignored me and went on blabbering her script and it WORKED SO WELL!!! She has to remember that feeling.......oh man.....
next. Phumi is getting better! AT BOTH ken AND brandon. He's really bringing it each time we practice. So i'm getting more and more comfortable in my scenes with him. Trym. I stil feel a bit uneasy about Tod. Sometimes he just gives me that blank look and I just feel lik giving it back too.....but, i have to be embarassed to be seen with him and try to get him to get that I don't want him near me. So i talk. Somehow.....my rambling works a teeny bit. :P
I have to be more fluent in my lines with Tilly.
BUMPING scene with Mark needs work! I don't bump into him correctly and it is WEIRD. with capital ALL letters. ARGH. blocking blocking blocking! The blocking is so hard to do!!!!! But oh well, it'll work out eventually......
I WANNA SEE EVERYONE'S COSTUMES......
AND. they all like my outfit. yay :D
BIG PROBLEM=My mood effects my acting. How to get over thaaaaat?!

Actors Journal #19 - With an audience
060309
Today we acted all the scenes with everyone else that weren't acting as an audience. After that, wow's & what if's were given. SCARY. but very constructive. lets begin!
First scene - GIRL & LOUIS
It was ok. Comments were.......I have to be more aware of the audience, show my face more, turn my body towards them...Mr.Moss :"I don't mean to discriminate....but the asian face makes it hard for you to act. You don't leak! so whatever you're doing now....you gotta amplify it by 100000 times honey" Yes sir. I have to work on how to disengage with Louis. How to cut in better, how to finally break out with that line "ORRRR we could just end the date right here, because you're the biggest tool I have ever met." Ms.Marshall :"you have to show more what you're thinking...."
Second Scene - GIRL & KEN
Lisa :"you nailed it!" Mr.Moss :"You just made the biggest mistake. you just showed us that you can do it." good or bad? May-Li :"ending pose is awkward?" YES. I AGREE. need to work on how the ending pose can work for both of us and shows ENERGY. FIRE. PASSION! woohooo......hahahhaa. andddd....right before the ending pose, Phumi needs to do something more disgusting to me before i jump and scream :"DOES THIS CRAP EVER WORK?!" to his face.
Third Scene - GIRL & TOD
Interact more with the audience. I actually thought I did.....I glanced at the audience. Doing that "what on earth am i here with a 5 year old for?!" look. butttttt.....i need to exaggerate more. make it obvious. yea.
Fourth Scene - GIRL & BRANDON
I did a head flick! hahahahaa. and I honestly don't know why i did that. but it worked! even mr.moss laughed! whoaaaa....so i have to remember to do that head flick at my longest line.
Time ran out. we only did to that spot. THIS IS AN AWESOME ACTIVITY. Constructive critisim at its best!

Actors Journal #18 - ITS GETTING CLOSER
050309
ITS GETTING CLOSER. I CAN FEEL IT. THE PERFORMANCE DAY IS GETTING TO BE SO CLOSE. IT IS SCARING ME.
Today we did more individual practices. Walking around running lines through with people we need to run lines with. It was comfortable. AND....i found out! Trym is doing Louis, Mr.Moss is doing Ken and Brandon while Ms.Marshall is doing Sophie when Michelle and Phumi is off in singapore.
So, basically we ran through everrrrything again. I did scene's with Mr.Moss. GOSH! he's hilarious! he wore this pink shirt, and white shades and a malay hat. HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA. soooo ECCENTRIC. BUT. his lines are a little messed up and he expects me to cover for him. argh. it was frustrating, but i learn how to improvise :) phumi is getting better! i look at him and i am thinking "yea, i could be on a date with this guy..." and yea, feeling very very at ease acting with him. YAY! Now i'm moving around more.....getting more facial expressions.....its all working towards a better play! yesss! BUT. Trym? still problems with the lines! COME ON TRYM! and tilly. WHOA just realised that I haven't been practising much with her?! its gone bad. so that day, we did lines until I remembered them again :D. yay. Its good to know where we need to work on. MICHELLE IS JUST ON FIRE! she is getting bolder and you can see the confidence she has in her lines. its awesome. :):):):)
Overall. It was quite a productive day. Acting with Mr.Moss is a tad intimidating. How to act like you're in love with ur TEACHER?! *faint*

Actors Journal #17 - FINALLY!
030309
FINALLY! we started working on Check, Please! yes yes yes yes yessss!
but class started off with BAD NEWS. *dramatic music* Phumi and Michelle have to go on an MUN (models united nation) trip to singapore the day we have a night performance for parents. =O. to make a long story short. They're taking a night flight and they will miss the performances only after that night one.
Next, Mr.Moss sat us down, and asked us to evaluate ourselves. What was Good and what was Bad. Once again.........I was first. it gets annoying that i'm always first. Why can't Mark be first? But oh well, because i'm a student in IB, i voice out opinions without hesitation. So I honestly searched through my brain for a moment when I felt was most comfortable and said it out loud "my laughing scene with phumi" honestly. that was it. never had i felt so succesful in my acting parts. anddddd....the bad part - Louis and the Girl's scene. It felt really weak. weak weak weak weak. and i didn't know how to help it. ARGH. but oh well. thoughts out. time to work on it.
Mr.Moss then told us all about what we all suck at. VOLUME. we aren't loud because we just don't use the diaphragm to speak. I know how to use it.....but sometimes, i forget. so. REMINDER #1 - use diaphragm to speak.
So we run through all the parts. MICHELLE WORKED SO HARD! AND PULLED THROUGH! she sounded SOOOOO much more confident this time and I was really into the script. Being a good actor, you can't just rely on yourself, well at least in my case. There has to be support from each supporting role. Thats why they are called that. supporting actors. So michelle done. Phumi. He's still concious and not over exaggerating enough! argh. but he's getting there, i can tell. :)
Lines with Trym are just messed uppppp....and it makes me so frustrated because i really don't know how to help him rmb what he has to say next. I try things lik drop hints....but he doesn't get it. I stall by blabbering on and on.....but he just lets me! OH SO FRUSTRATING. but *sigh* All i can do is hope he'll nail the lines by thursday. Phumi again. WHOA.so much better. I love the Brandon scene. I feel so comfortable with it. IT IS AWESOME. all because it starts with that laughing scene. hee hee! Next is....Tilly. it was.....ok. nothing special. I didn't feel it was funny. no ups and downs. no dynamics that I can work on with facial expression. nadaa. nil. zip. Hope things will get smoother thurs. NO "CHEMISTRY" with GUY(mark) .....am i THAT repulsive?
ARGH.

Actors Journal #16 - None at all.....AGAIN
270209
Today we didn't touch Check, Please AT ALL. I'm getting frantic.
Instead we work on our PPP. We were given a stimulus, a poem, in this case, and asked to write down the words that come into your head when right after you hear it. like the acid test in TAPS. I admit. I SUCK AT THIS. and it was really scary for me. Everyone seems to be like, coming up with awesome ideas, like, savouring the journey, not the destination.
Next, we take 5 minutes to construct a play from what little stimulus we have, and from that idea, try to sell it to a producer. sell it. USING 15 seconds. tell me how impossible that is! argh. once again, my mind went blank. i seriously didn't have any idea about what my production was.....and you're asking me to SELL IT?! madness. But we attempt anyway, bravery and confidence covers over other thoughts and emotion like fear, nervous-ness, TREPIDATION. well, at least it smothers it abit. but yet again, I sucked. its tough for me, i don't know why, and I really want to be good at this.....I just don't get inspiration that easily. ARGH. nevermind. next challenge. which again seems tough for me. we sell a production we have been involved in before. and mine is LOVE PERHAPS. OH DEAR ME. Mr.Moss thinks the play sucks, so how am I going to sell it?! *brrrrriiiinnnnggg* the bell rings and we're off to hear this singaporean guy speak and SELL La Salle, a school for the arts. selling. how ironic. it was boring.

Actors Journal #16 - IPP + Check, Please
260209
We spent the first period running yet another IB requirement. seems like we have endless writing assignments AND one teacher even commented that IB drama has more written assesment projects than IB english. WHAT?!
Anyway, overall again. Number #1, which is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. it is only your Portfolio that is being assesed. Not your objectives and how you achieved it. Not your success in your task. But the PORTFOLIO. meaning, you set a goal, yet at the end of the day, you fail to achieve, but the process of failure is well documentated then.......you may pass with flying colours for your IPP. First of all, when we have the IPP in mind, we have to set objective(s) that we intend to achieve through the independent project we are carrying out. The portfolio is actually about the preparation, finding out what we need to do to achieve the goals, what we actually DO to achieve those goals and how we determine we have achieved our goals aka SUCCESS! hee hee. simple. its the process, what the production does FOR you, instead of what it does TO you.
In an IP, we have to have at least have a fusion of two of the main elements in theatre, Theatre in The Making, Theatre in The World, and Theatre in Performance. The IP must result in an actual performance of some sort. Also, EVERYTHING in the introduction, body, conclusion and tribulation is to be considered in the word count of 2000 words. Textboxes are not considered.
Sorry if the information seems random, I just write them down as i go and how my memory serves me right.
Now to the other half of the lesson that contributed to me as an actor. Check, Please!
We did the scene again, through and through anddddd.....I'm beginning to feel a little bored with check please. I feel that we keep making the same mistakes! Sorry Michelle....but I sometimes don't feel like we click. Sometimes (well, maybe most of the time) it might be me, feeling tired and not in character. but bottom line, things just don't click. BIG PROBLEM. Phumi forgets to do stuff, anddddd yet again, is still so self concious. Trym....I can say he's awesome though! his energy. wow. i love it. I look at him and i REALLY REALLY think - 5 year old kid? hehe. he's great to work with Phumi again, haha. SO GAY-ISH. ESPECIALLY when he says "oh my god, the most hetro-sexual dating experience....STELLLLLAAAAAAAA!" hahaha. phumi. gotta work on that. oh but Ms.Marshall told me i need working on gaining more intensity in the dates. like work towards the climax when phumi calls me teri. HOW?! i need to look like i'm in love with phumi more! yesssss....i shall work on looking LUSTFULLY at phumi. haha. I think I need more action and movement when Mr.Moss gives me this most AWESOME part to play. I stand up, thinking of maybe punching phumi or something when i see the glass of water, examine it for a little while, then slowly yet surely pour it over his head. NICE. With Tilly......i'm supposed to act bored right?
Time ran short, and we couldn't finished it. Mr.Moss commented on some but he didn't get to me. I NEED THAT FEEDBACK or not i'll never really actually learn! heeeellllpppp

Actors Journal #15 - TPPP
240209
Spent the day going through our IB requirements again. which is good.....but, Check, Please is coming soon! and i'm freaking out for my part, THE GIRL, to me still seems to have a dull character, and needs to have more facial expression, needs to be able to build climax more, needs to have good body positioning on stage, needs character internalizing, needs more VOLUME, needs to have nice hairdo's every night. AND THE LIST GOES ON. accesories, acting, acting WITH PARTNER. right now, the only person I feel i really connect with is Trym. He feels my frustration.....i think.
Anyway, for our Theatre Performance and Production Presentation, Mr.Moss said that it was good if we divided it into 6 categories :
1. Inspiration & Influences
2. Theatre in the Making Experiences - script is IMPORTANT
3. Experiences as an Audience - how what you watch affects you as an actor
4. Resources - workshops, books, media, teachers, DVD's, internet, movies
5. Traditions (Theatre in the World)
6. Pratices - I have yet to determine but one eg. Comedia
Here's a little cap on what Mr.Moss touched on.
- TPPP is actually a reflection on your reflections. CONTRIBUTION BY TILLY! she cracks me up.
- It is not a history of what we have done, but WHO WE ARE AS A THEATRE PERSON.
- only 1 or 2 productions may be mentioned.
- Theatre in the Making is before an audience is present.
- Theatre in Performance is when an audience is present.
For standard level (me) we have to talk for 20 minutes using 5-7 images
For higher level (all the rest) they have to talk for 30 minutes using 7-10 images
mine actually sounds harder..............
