Things aren't going quite as I had planned...the character stuff has melted into my word poems and an examination of performing scots accents and dialects.
I think I need to enlist some help for extreme character generation. I need to find some acting books and perhaps get someone in to help. I wonder if anyone else in the class is interested in creating Tarantula sized characters for their show - maybe Brian and Roxy. I can but ask. I'm really hoping that winterschool is going to feed in and send me reeling in an interesting direction.
I had my space-time today...shared with Caroline and she made some interesting observations about my performance (who was the Skye Boat Song character - what accent. Because I pronounced 'to' in a really english way. I am gearing myself up facially for the high notes, which is at odd with my 'blank' expression for the rest of the song. The North Text is long but there is development so it's okay. She want to get a feeling of what South and East might be, even if it's not finished).
I found out that I really like dancing in my green heels. I was listening to Track 1, of the Forgotten Arm (aimee Man) and trying to get a dancefloor ballroom feel (it really reminded me of my Uncle Jack and how good a dancer he was - he attended the Jack Diamond School of Dancing in Glasgow, and danced my very impressed Grandma around my parents wedding reception!)
Gary and I played with show images. I sang a little...I need to be more prepared when I go into the space I think. (Do I, yes probably, all that off the cuff stuff can still come out in lost moments but I need to utilise my time better, make more of the space)
Got my two dresses from Wardrobe. Requested the flat pack shed. Established the tab track wont have a cost implication (need to make decisions about how that will work, the full reveal or three stages? Go for this, even though its complicated to perform/control!)
