Plot/Scene idea;

We could develop the idea from Australian Idol of ‘anyone could be a star’, and emphasise some great star, like Elvis being an individual just having won Australian Idol. (Yes, I know Australian Idol wasn’t around when Elvis was, it’s a NON-NATUALISTIC performance). Each of us is then some sort of great star as we all eventually win Australian Idol and we realise that we are now no longer individuals because we are all stars.

So here I am period 4 on a tuesday… what do I do? Go onto my drama blog of course bcoz I don’t have a life. Jks, Jks. Anyway, I relised how other ppl in the drama class seem to record what we did in drama and I don’t, I mean I know that I don’t have to, but I think I’d like to share with you this one particular lesson that I very much enjoyed.

We were sitting in drama, played a game with cats and mice, then we got out our list of possible characters. Each person in our group chose a different character, then we developed our characters further asking a few who, what, where, when, how questions to develop the situation. I enjoyed this process. Then once we had done this, we had character auditions to see if they would fit into our performance. There was 3 characters we came up with - a radio presenter, a psychic, and a screaming beatles fan. All of these I believe can fit into our performance (but knowing me, I think that everything is possible). After which we decided to create a performance based around the beatles screaming fan.

I also forgot to mention the other ideas I had;

2. We all wear foil hats… this can be developed, but not atm because I am writing this during lunchtime now.

We can also explore music before the 20th century.

In my research on the weekend I explored musicians from the 19th century, not duliberately, but I was mucking around on encrata and found some pretty neat stuff. I shall share it with my group later… and possibly blog it. 

I asked a few people about punks and with one person was explaining what they wore (even though I already knew) they told me that they wore safety pins, and I thought y not wear hazard pins? Because they’re stereotypical of being dangerous people.

Thanks for reading my blog, I shall speak with you soon. Ciao!

I just had a few more ideas that I thought I’d like to share….

1)    Have you ever seen little miss sunshine - It’s so sweet, I loved it so much, when you get the chance you should watch it. It has a grandfather who takes drugs and was kicked out of a nursing home because he swore to much. A depressed uncle who has tried to commit suicide. A son who wont talk until he achieves his goal of flying aircraft. A father who is trying to make everyone positive and follow his un successful ‘10 steps to success’. The mother who is trying to hold the family together. And then there is the daughter who is about to enter a little miss sunshine pagent and is probably the only successful one in the whole family. Because a down-to-earth family has entered their daughter in a pagent like this with all the snobbiness and the stereotypical rudness something is bound to happen. The reason why I’ve come up with this is that it has that individualism vs. conformity aspect in it, mainly at the end.

Brb, g2g and have a shower. I shall tend to this in a couple of days.

How is everyone? I’m great, although I can just say these things, and how would u know if I was being truthful? You can just take my unsteady word for it… yes I’ve been having alot of mood swings lately.

I like my background.

YAY! I got a formal dress yesterday, and it’s just as random as me! lol.

And now for something drama related…

I like my drama ensemble group. I have a feeling that our ensemble performance could end up being very symbolic, because we have 2 literature students, and if astrology is true to itself, Ashley and I (having the same birthday) will also influence this. It’s so unlikely to have 2 students in a class of 8 with the same birthday, let alone in the same ensemble group. Our group members all seem to be on the same brain waves because little explaining has been needed while we brainstorm all our ideas. I cannot tell you what our ideas have been because the other group may be listening. But I can tell you we’ve had some excellent ideas about little men in radio’s, wops! I slipt. I’m really looking forward to performing infront of other schools, and in different places, it’s going to be so much fun. 3 of our group members are also involved with the rock eistedford, so we’ll be performing twice as much. Anyway, I was sopposed to research the radio, and try to get a sterio type for a few different radio stations… which I havn’t done. So I’ll say solong to ya all, and drop me a line if you feel the need to.

Bye,

Bye,

Tomato breath!

Our stimulus piece is ‘Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2. I thought I hadn’t heard this song until we listened to it and I recognised the music. When I hear the words Pink Floyd I think of a story my mum once told me about when I was a baby. My mum was pregnant with me having a bath and listening to Pink Floyd, (She thinks it was dark side of the moon, but this particular drum beat is also in the wall) and I was moving around in her tummy to the beat of the music . Pretty absurd eh?
