shakespeare(actually did a blog before i was told and realized it was saved as a draft....cool)

I absolutely love my new acting workshop. First off, I found a new love for Shakespeare and am even thinking about switching to the Shakespeare class for senior year. I also found a new epic monologue that I love from King Lear which I could definitely use for any audition. I also love how it's a small group and there's a lot of talking and learning going on at the same time. Usually in the workshops it's more of them teaching and talking a lot then us trying to apply it but instead, we were learning but also applying it to the monologues at the same time. We also broke down the monologues and figured out that Shakespeare isn't some crazy poety that no one is supposed to understand but just people talking and we figured out how to make it easier to understand. I also found it awesome that he writes in iambic pentameter and how you can use that to figure out how to actually say the lines and how they're feeling if Shakespeare maybe makes the lines shorter or longer than 10. I can't wait to actually get into Rob's written play.

just read my email! crappp

Dancing work shop: Well to start off, I'm a horrible dancer, that was deffenitly confermed on monday. I think this dancing workshop will be really helpful though in teaching me the basics which I'll obviously need if I want to persue this field. Although I was a horrible dancer, I realize that I'm not as horrible as I thought I was and it's not so bad once you get into it. I've had to dance on auditions before so, although I hate dancing and am a spaz, I'm glad I'm in the work shop becuase it's something I need but would never really be able to bring myself to actually do and learn. I went in thinking I'm gunna suck so obvioulsy I did but hopefully next time I start with a different and better aproach and I'll see if maybe that will change things (which usually does). As my mom says, it's always good to be a tripple threat so although I'll never be a master at dancing, I'll strive to be a 2 and a half threat.
