Pre-show time

13 April 2012 ( Friday)

Today is the day we need to present 2/3 of our scripts and also we need to set our scenes. Ish! I hardly can memorize it, there's too many long sentences OMG! Ishhhhhh!!!! C'mon just memorize it before the class starts!

Memorize, memorize, memorize! YES!! Finally get it down. Hope that my partner also get his lines down. Mr. Rey is here! And he gave us 20 minutes time to make ourselves be prepared. Nice one! Me and my partner quickly take our scripts and walk out from the classroom to get an empty space. Ok let's begin! We practice as usual.

No longer, one of our classmates tells us times up. Crap! Hope everything will be fine later. 1st group is Eric and Joshua. Their set up scene is a table and they both sit facing each other. Begin with Joshua eating his imaginary burger so the scene is sort of like McDonald's but the scene they set up, for the audience they only can see their side face and hardly can see their emotions. So they kinda forget the Theatre 101 exercise-blocking. They should've  adjust the chair at 45 degree so that the audience can see what they're doing. Besides that, I can't hear what they're saying. No projection. Of course, Mr. Rey comments them about their voice projection and also their actions and tones. So far of Mr. Rey's improvisation, they only manage to complete not even 1/3 of their scripts. HAHA! Yeah! This also goes to everyone including us.

Next is our turn, we set up 2 blocks as a bar scene and the most shity part is we can't find any stools for our bar scene so end up we standing and we use 2 empty bottles as the whiskey glass. Once we start, Mr. Rey starts to giving comments about the tone and yeah we did it. COOL! Like it! But... man, things just screw up like this-Forget lines. I seriously don't know where to continue. So we just continue. HAHA! Before Mr. Rey stops us, he tells us that we have to used up the space that we have when we're on the stage. Then is Vhina and David's group. Their set up is kinda cool, I dont know how to describe it but is like 2 of them stand on their own positions and do their own monologue. After that is Sam and Lycel's turn. Their play is about a woman stuck in the elevator and she was asking for help. Thus, a conversation begin with sort of like a guard. Something interesting happen, I can't believe that Mr. Rey actually wants Lycel to take off her clothes and left bra and panties because it is part of the script. Man, I feel pity on her. If she really does this on the performance, I wonder what the audience will think.
