Hi der

Hello to all my sad, sad fans. Anyway, thought I migt as well update. Recently, we (me and my five-strong BTEC group) have been studying Drama through the ages. In the last few sessions we were studying the Ancient Greeks, the first known civilisation to practice the modern perception of play. Then, we moved on to drama in Elizabethan England, which was mainly about William Shakespeare himself. This week and last, our main focus was Romeo and Juliet. Not much to say on it, as everyone has heard of it. Well, the term ends in two weeks, and for those last two we are ocupied with Arts/Enrichment week(s), so yesterday was probably our last BTEC lesson 'till next term. I guess I'll talk to you (or, rather, blog to you) then. LATERZ.

Been a while....

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooez.
Nobody has asked me to do this, but I thought I could get back into the swing of things. For a while, we have been doing a peice on the Holocaust. We are a 1930's-40's family who are relocated to the Ghettos. I play Lutz Steinberg; the father of Heidi; the wife of Adolf; the father of Caitlin and Lilly. As you can guess, I'm old.

*Insert grouchy comment here*

Now we have been in the Ghettos for a couple months now. For some reason, Lutz has been taken away from the family and, subsequently, the other three families sharing the room. Now, Lutz is a bit senile; crazy even. When he heard they were gonna be relocated, he was suspicious. He brought a gun and a radio with him in the one suitcase he was allowed. Which didn't leave room for many clothes.

lol.

Anyway, he left the gun when he was taken (probably forgotten it) and entrusted the radio to a member of another family: Gustav, father of a sick child. Now, the family has found Lutz's gun and Gustav has confessed to his possesion of the radio. The people in charge of this particular house in the Ghettos know that someone has a radio..... and has organised a full cavity search for it. The family (and Gustav) attempt to destroy the radio, fail, and then decide to hide it. It turns out they hide it well, but when the search comes, the guards find..... the Gun! Heidi knows that if they find out the gun was Lutz's, they'll kill him, and decides to take the blame for herself. She is taken away.....

And.. thats all we got so far.

On another note.....

Yeah, this may seem inappropriate, but.......
Why no one comment? Me comment on you entries if was in same situation...

Another Lesson Thang!

Okey dokey. Here we are again. So, we read two more pages of the Ernie's Incredible Illucinations script. We then proceeded to act them out. This was a scene set at the fair, so there was plenty of loudness and obnoxious....ness. Oh, and Tom (Bateman) doing a terrible impression of a police patrol car (try not to wrap your heads around this one, kids. Its an inside joke). I didn't think much of my performance. I think I could have been a lot louder and a lot obnoxious....ser. And.......... thats all I can remember. Probably shouldn't have taken that binge straight afterwards. Or that other thing...... In fact, forget it. I'm out. Peace!

Some lesson thang!

OK, I may have put this off until a week afterwards. In fact, I did. And now I can't remember what happened. Something about dragging around my corpse....
I don't thing Mr Penn will be a happy chappy (oh God, I'm an old person! Or at least I'm acting like one. You all know the one I mean).

Beh (bye)!

That Poem Thing

Well, here's the freaking poem.

If you project your voice,
You'll make a lot o' noise.
If you whisper,
You'll sound small and shy.
If you do an accent,
You won't sound like you-
If you talk for too long,
The audience will get bored!
If you talk too fast,
You'll sound like a bird!
If you're pitch is high,
Your eyebrows will reach the sky!

Sucks I know, but I didn't come up with it - they did.

That Thing That Happened

Ignore the other one. I don't know how to delete entries yet :).

Anyway, I am her to speak (or write) about the activity we did in Performing Arts today. Now, I don't remember much of what happened...

*Pause*

But in all seriousness, my memory is fuzzy. However I do remember that we did perform a segment of a play which required "multi rolling". Now, I cannot remember who played which character(s), but I do remember that the transition from characters went rather smoothly; the differences in voice, posture, etc. were very noticeable, and effective. Overall, it was very good. And, as is my new tradition (I hope it catches on) I will give both performances (we were in two groups) a number rating:

The other group= 6/10
My group= 6.5/10 (muahaha)

EDIT: I deleted the other one. Yay!
