Hello Internet!
Updates, updates, updates! I’ve been working very hard on the spropets [sets/props] crew for the University of Guelph’s main-stage production of R.U.R. [Rossum's Universal Robots] this semester and having a blast doing so. The set is looking really great, I can’t wait for show week! My parents and my BFF Tiffany are coming to see the show from back home, which will make show week even better! March 20-27 is our show week, which is only two weeks away! Watch out for a link to some production photos I’ve taken throughout the process.
I’ve also been hard at work rehearsing my Fundies (Fundamentals of Directing) scene project. The actors are doing a really great job and everything is going quite perfectly– especially considering how hair-brained I can be. We’ve had three rehearsals so far and I’m hoping to bring the girls in for an in-class rehearsal this Wednesday.
Last night my friend Karl and I saw Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland so that I can review it for my Contemporary Cinema course. The film was really well done, I was very impressed with the whole thing.
And now, the piece-de-resistance: I was involved in a 24hr project this weekend! Starting at 7pm on Friday, I was involved in the writing and directing of a 15-30 minute play, which was performed at 7pm on Saturday. The resulting play was entitled ‘Battery Life’ and I hope to get the performance video uploaded as soon as possible onto this blog. I really love 24hr projects. Their challenge/reward cycle being a grand total of 24 hours is definitely a plus.
What is there left to be updated about? Hmm…
I may have a summer job already! My aunt has this full-time nanny job looking after a young girl of about six and a boy of about four that she is willing to give up for the Summer. She says she needs a vacation. The downside of this job is that I would have to spend the Summer in Timmins instead of at home. This is also kind of the downside, since Timmins is where my cousin lives and I could potentially get a lot of work done on my musical/my own music-related endeavors.
Well, we’ll see how everything goes I guess. S’later internet!
