The Laramie Project

I AM AN ARTIST?!

SO PROUD OF MYSELF!

how i cried on stage

i did it. i hit a milestone in my acting career.

much as the title suggested i cried onstage during my monologue. Now for the non-thesbians in the room this may seem a simple, annoying task much like mixing colors or something. I can assure you that this is possibly one of the most poignant parts of an actors career, when he or she becomes so comfortable with their emotions and so connected with their work they can summon those emotions at will. Even though i did cry on stage, it wasn't in front of an audience. That will be my real test. If i can do that, then it will be truly a means for celebration. Until then, im content with my little display for empty chairs, because nonetheless it's better then nothing at all

the new jesus movie

all of you have seen the old jesus movie. Shoddily shot, poorly versed, and a little off.

I am here to tell you that 2.0 is a whole new experience in itself

The way we have it now it is like a "Brighton Beach Memoirs meets How I Met Your Mother" style of narration, once again focusing on Jesus's shadowed brother, Mordachai. This style means that the narrator will "pause" the scene, break the 4th wall (which will make for some bad puns) and talk directly to the audience, through this style the narrator is also able to act as an omnipotent narrator similar to bob saggot in HIMYM. What we have changed in 2.o is a lot of the story line. We have made it more cohesive and centered on just Mordachai's various relationships that he has, and will build.

city trip

well the city, what to say.

First off i want to say that i was AMAZED at how much culture there was in alphabet city. On the train to the city i was highly doubting that all of the hype about the culture contained in the few blocks that are alphabet city. Little did i know that the culture was actually understated, and that the culture that i discovered was far broader then i initially imagined. My favorite part of Alphabet city was definitely the community gardens. It was amazing to me how people took, what was basically trash, and made it into art. It was like "oh im walking down the streets of ny looking at the corporate settings and colors" and then "oh my gosh a patch of green with....are those....chickens? live chickens roaming around NY?! WHAT IS THIS!" Heres what this felt like:

bacock!

However the most unique part of my trip was my perilous journey into a condemned building oohhhhhhhhh (don't tell my mommy). This adventure spurred lines such as "oh look at these Halloween props, so lifelike *touch*...no that's a real dead rat...oh...." and "IS THAT A LLAMA IN A CONDEMNED BUILDING?! COOL!" What was strange was that inside the building was a treasure trove of artistic brilliance. The building must have been from the thirties with all of the rustic objects that littered the rooms.

And swan lake.....I'm not a ballerina or have seen ballets, but i have to say i was entranced by the grace and majesty of the dancers. I thought that after a long day of walking and ....getting lost....that i would fall asleep. This was not the case whatsoever. I was amazed that, without words, a ballet could be both humorous and depressing. I guess that is an ode to Matthew Bourne.
