Don't ya hate it when ya sitting there having finished a bit of homework and think "I'm sure there's something else i'm meant to do" Then think aw well then go to bed? Then realise the next day you should have written a Drama Blog? That WON'T be me tomorrow! Woo Hoo!!! Do we even have drama tomorrow?
Anyways...
JACK DAVIS
I've never really had a problem with Essays before. I dropped English for it's Journal. But Jack Davis Killed me. That was so fricken hard to write, despite a (i think) sound plan, lots of notes, the plays infront of me, a quiet house, no distractions... Ah well. I handed something in. I can forget about him till term 3. I'm glad they didn't talk about the essay in the exam at...
DRAMA DAY
I found drama day to be mildly useful. That Mr Butler guy that Ms Mace is in love with was a pretty good talker-speech person-thingy. That ISP dvd killed any enthusiasm growing in the back of my mind for an off-stage role. Looking back, after all that Ms Mace about physical theatre and Mirror, Mirror, Seeing that Group production bit about that deaf and blind girl serves, i think, as a sign of the potential brilliance of...
MIRROR, MIRROR
This has the potential to be fricken awesome. Physical theatre is fun, kinda weird, but potentially powerful, and if we get it right (As Ms Mace apparantly believes so) The audience will leave entertained, enlightened about a social problem, and our marks will SOAR!!! Over the Rainbow way up high! Birds fly over the rainbow, and so will our marks. Except mine won't depend on my acting, it will depend on my...
MUSIC
WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!! If i had any character other than Theo in last year's play this would have been the most fun thing in drama last year, and i'm doing it again!!!! Hooray for Me!!! *Polite, more than a bit bored applause from the audience* From what i have read and heard about the play there is so much potential for so much, and i have so many ideas already (It took me much longer for the engine to warm up last time - about 4-5 weeks after getting the scripts), and Ms Mace said she does as well. I'm thinking Massive Chords, Frenzied Runs, late 19th Century Russians, mid 19th century Eastern Europe. I'm thinking Liszt, Chopin, Wagner, Rachmaninoff, Kabalavesky, Grieg, Debussy. I'm Thinking Sabre Dance, In The hall of the Mountain King, Clowns, Comedian's Dance, Hungarian Rhapsodies, Mazurkas, maybe even Golliwog's Cakewalk. Juxtaposed with Poignant, Beautiful melodies, rich chords, complex harmonies. Think Gymnopedie no. 1 by Erik Satie. Errr, if you heard it you'd probably recognize it. As you can see, I'm absolutely pumped about this. go me.
=))
PS I'm so pumped about this i don't even need to put Shaka on.

Holy moley pudding and pie. I had no idea you were so into the music thing. Does that mean you've definately decided on offstage?
Your enthusiasm is inspiring.
I just read thru your post again after I commented. I didn't say half the stuff I wanted to. But I don't have words for it.
I wish I was as excited about all this as you are. Really, I do. I feel left out, is anyone else this enthused and inspired?
I'm scared.
Yes Josh i think you are EXTREMELY enthusiastic but i am tooo except that yeah i dont no whether ill be any good but ANYWAYS,
Musik sounds gud to me.... but remember i was going to say that we are trying to appeal to a MODERN DAY AUDIENCE remember...remember... personally i think a lot of liszt and wagner and rachmaninoff will out them to sleep.... ! but still good on you josh sounds awesome anyways..... goliwog capewalk could really work tooo !!!!!
luv *bEc* xOxO
Well josh, I do like your writing style. It made me smile which can be tough when reading lots of blogs.
For the record i am not In love with him just a whole lot of awe, nothing wrong with a bit of awe.
It is great to see that you are inspired by your off stage role. Let me know if you want to be on stage at all as there are many parts that can be split. I would like you to be at as many rehearsals as possible as you will see what is happening and hence be able to create a mood with the music. I think this will be the most effective approach. Great blog Josh thanks
