The most amazing show that I ever had

2 May 2012 ( Wednesday)

Today is our final exam and also our performance day. OMG! I’m so nervous! I’m so scared that I’ll forget my lines again.

No longer, the show starts. My eyes actually open wide like a gold fish’s eye, everyone’s performance are so real! OMG! Now I feel pressured. Ishhhh!!!

Left half an hour and is my play! Ok, Wilson stay calm, stay calm. Just like last time, just give it all! Take a deep deep breath! * inhale, exhale* Phew, everything will be alright. Applause heard and I going to make this a great show. The stage is mine!!!!!

During the play, we all changed everything. I feel that we’re really in the pub and I hope that there will be laughter during our play. Well, just a little. After that, my play finished and I think that I didn’t good enough and I feel that this time is even worse than the rehearsal but everyone(classmates)  told me that I did well and I treat it as a comfort. Ishh! Hope that Mr. Rey like it.

After around 20 minutes, our show finished and we all go on stage to give a bow to the audience. Everything is done!!!!!! Finally! I met Miss Pat, my Theatre 101 lecturer and I ask her about my play and she says that I improve a lot! YES! Mr. Rey gives everyone a hug and praises us. So I ask him about my play also, I didn’t disappoint him! Thank you! Another thing, Mr. Rey postpone the deadline for our journal. Thank God! Thank you again Mr. Rey!

Before we leave, we take a group picture and clean up all the stuff in the experimental theatre. Good job guys and I’ll miss you all! Also thanks to Mr. Rey for the teaching!

Object exercise for Woozey Woo!

Woozey Woo! ( by Robert Macadaeg)

Who am I?

-My name is Aaron Ben Tucker. A freshman from University Buffalo. He is a nerd who wants to be cool.

Where am I?

-I’m in a pub and learning how to spike a drink, so that I can become a famous guy in pub and many girls will like me.

What time is it?

-Is almost midnight. Tomorrow I’ve class but for the sake of being famous and like by many girls so I’ve to master this technique.

What surrounds me?

-Colorful spotlights, Techno music, hot men and women dancing on the dance floor and some of them are drinking. Salazar, the pro in spiking drink is teaching me how to spike ( a shot glass of whiskey and some mickey pills).

What are my relationships?

-Salazar is sort of like my teacher. I want hot chicks stick to me so I’ve got to learn and master the technique of spiking drink.

What are the given circumstances?

-Get it down the technique then hot chicks will stick to you. If you don’t master it, you’re wasting your time and money and no hot chicks will stick to you.

What do I want?

-I want to master the spiking technique so that many hot chicks will be beside me.

What is in my way?

-Salazar is teaching me his technique but I don’t want to follow it and I recommend mine to him. Salazar disagrees.

What do I do to get what I want?

-I argue with Salazar.

Full costume and props for play (1st time)

20 April 2012 ( Friday)

Today is the day we use all props for the play. So I dress up like a cool dude and waiting for my partner. No longer, he arrived and he calls me to buy a Coke to treat it as beer for the play and Mr. Rey is happy that I pick the correct prop and that is the NY cap. HEHE! Thanks Mr. Rey!

After watched a few student’s play, now is our turn. So we exactly what we do in rehearsal but we just start our play not long and Mr. Rey starts to improvise us. The tone we use must be appropriate, sometimes the sentence of the tone is slow or fast or strong etc.  After that, Mr. Rey orders me to use up more space-walk around. So basically, use up more space and use appropriate tone.

Now is waiting for Mr. Rey’s prediction grades and comments. Listening other groups comments from Mr. Rey and grade prediction, I’m kinda scared because everybody’s comment is like “ You’re lower B bla bla bla bla bla…” “ Now Zong Zong’s group.” Oh no this is scary and I’m nervous… “ Well, you both did well and is around higher B.” Did I listen wrongly?! OMG!!!! The prediction is HIGHER B!!! Woohoo I’m so happy! But Mr. Rey said that we still have much more work to go on. Anyway, we will do better during the performance.
