Started Theatre in the 70s. I'm proud of me for remembering most of the stuff. Also happy I managed to properly phrase the difference between for-profit and non-for-profit.
Theatre Journal:
I'm going to collect my thoughts on Buried Child sos I don't forget. So I may look at that VInce monologue right near the end. I do needs me them monologues. Ah geez. But yeah. I want to do more research on how Sam Shepard makes use of different mythologies. There's the whole corn-god thing going on, along with the triple-death of burial thing.
Dance Journal:
OUCH. Hot damn today hurt. It's simultaneously awesome that I have the ballet background and terrible. My body still remembers what it has to do; trouble is, it can't do it right now, but is still trying to. Hence, pain from hell making it, shall we say, problematic to walk at the moment. Yay for knee braces with built-in pouches for ice packs.
Gabe Journal:
Dun wanna today.

100th post!
Yay for first proper blog of the year! FYI to Aladren, I have to blog for dance as well, so this will now be a dual-purpose blog.
PG= 100
We started movement with the freshies today. First of all, very proud of them for catching on so quickly. Second of all, it felt amazing to get back into it. I'm glad I was a (seemingly) effective example. And sorry for almost dropping you.
Theatre Journal:
Seeing as I've already finished Buried Child and Old Times, I'll be a-bloggin' about Death and the King's Horseman. I still haven't gotten past scene 1. I'm really hoping what you say is true. So far I have almost no information to work off of in terms of characters or plot or anything. Just a bunch of Yoruban, Syinka-freaking-out-Western-theatre-goers ritualistic stuff. It's a neat intro to Yoruban culture, which I may do some additional research on, even if I don't use DatKH for my paper, but I still don't have much in the way of a play yet.
Dance Journal:
Oh Jesus Christ I'm so happy the school year has started. Totally thrilled that I get to do two periods of dance, even with the interrupt of history. Gonna need a lot of stretching: I feel about as tense as a(n) {insert analogy here}. But as far as I can tell, my body still remembers how to move, in general. Improv went well? Maybe? I mean, it's only day 1 (for me), so I can't say a whole lot yet. Tomorrow, then! Woo! Oh, and I missed any curriculum-ish stuff that may have been covered, so I have no clue what day brings what. And I must remember! I must talk to you tomorrow!
Gabe Journal:
This was an awesome day. Dance, movement, and choir. This is my Monday. For the rest of the year. Well, at least until my concert in a couple months. I am so incredibly excited. I'm positively giddy and inebriated off of joy. Or something along those lines. Except for that I can't listen to my totally awesome concert CD from spring, due to brother breaking CD tray 4 fucking months ago and never managing to fix it. I still can't figure out what the hell he did that has it jammed so tight.

Holy Senior Year, Batman!
Since I know I'll take a few days to get used to it again, I'm going to start blogging tonight. Participation grade and all, even though I know it won't count.
PG: 100
Today we had that ever-so-lovely discussion about college. I revisited my list of colleges I said I wanted to apply to, most of which still apply. Mat the freshmen, and hopefully made a good first impression. Katie is my freshy. Since I'm guessing you (Aladren) will be shaky on names at first, the one you said looks like Kate Hudson.
So I'm going to do that list thing here.
Strengths:
Physical technique/dance
Vocal technique
"Large" characters
Classical text
Distinct, not-so-common look
Mah hur
Sing and play several instruments
Smart
Quick
Fairly savvy and good at schmoozing
In terms of college, high SAT scores
Weaknesses:
Work Ethic
Honesty
Forced and walled personality
Narrow range
In poor shape
Bad skin
In terms of college, sub-excellent GPA
I'm happy on two small accounts. My strengths seem to somewhat outnumber my weaknesses, and most of the weaknesses are possible to fix. Oh my. I'm in for a fucking doozy of a year.

It's not 12:00
Is it? Shit. It is. Damnit.
100 for today for hiring Lou as director and Scarlett as designer (with, of course, Chelsea as my SM).
Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Okay, so I'm going to start outlining that whole budgety thing.
Talked to Lou briefly, and a director is a good idea. Said he'd get back to me as to who he recommends. Also will look to Cleo for guidance with the dance part. SO yeah. Director will probably be a good portion of my budget. I seem to remember that artist-paying is something we can get more money for, since that can take more time.
In terms of money that I spend sooner, my guess is most of that will be toward various accoutrements for music. Certainly a sustain pedal, perhaps other pedals. Microphones, should I choose to use other instruments. Perhaps looping technology. Stuff of that sort. I may try to find someone to look to for music guidance, as well. I dunno.

Jesus
Got home really late last night because I had to wait around while Cleo appeased a spastic parent.
Quick proposal-shaped thing:
For my senior showcase, I am looking to artistically interpret one of Shakespeare's sonnets. These interpretations will be in all forms I know how to do, including acting, music, and dance. I plan on hiring a director. Chelsea will be my stage manager. Beyond this, I do not believe I will need any other assistance.
ANd now off to school! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-!

Accomplishment and not
Okay, so I guess 100 for today. Everyone except for me, Glenn, and Mike were either testing or at the PSA thingy, so there really wasn't too much to do. But I didn't break anything, and I didn't get into trouble. SO yes.
And I did not read tonight, although I have good reasons.
One, I had choir tonight. First rehearsal ever with the orchestra! It was REALLY COOL!
Second, I have literally spent all of the rest of my time this afternoon/evening/night transposing the fucking Star-Spangled Banner, since they can't seem to find anyone who can get to a fucking F. And they insist on not letting us use one of our own, since I know Casey, Chelsea, and Scarlett could all do it. SO yeah. Going from B-flat to G has been rough, but I needed to do it, so I did that instead of reading. Sorry.
