busy busy busy 2 weeks….
anyways,
so yeah we got assessed on our ensemble and individually on june 18th, so hopefully the mark will be good! I do, however, feel that it was probably our best performance of it, in a way, although i did like the one at Creative Arts, but this was with the better ending!! So phew now that is out of the way!!
We had our SAC yesterday (i think it was yesterday…) which in a way was kind of good because at least all of it was still fresh in our heads…
tomorrow we have got the exam which i am really nervous about, but i think i could do ok, i did a lot of revision tonight so hopefully all goes well…
well done to those who performed their solos monday night and to all the other ensemble groups, ur ensemble was great!!
Love flick peace out

this is how dedicated i am to drama…it’s quarter to 12 and yeah, well i got the day off tomorrow cos im not doing the GAT…anyways,
we practised til 4:30 today and yeah, without tables…but still i think it went pretty good, it went for just over 10 mins, but that was with minor stuff ups etc
it was originally going to be two ensemble rehearsals this week, but due to Chloe and I not being able to come on Friday after school, only today was ensemble practice and friday is practice for people doing their solo’s, so to those already done their solos shall be grateful i got you out of staying at school longer on friday…just kidding!!! I’m sorry, i couldn’t help being invited to a formal:D (i’m excited i get to wear the same dress i wore to the avila formal and i love it!)
so yeah, i think all sounds good as of now, and I should probably head off…
tootles and peace out xoxoxo

well yeah lots has happened since my last post, so I shall begin at the beginning (A very good place to start:D)
So yeah, I painted the FUTURE sign the other lesson, and drew it up and was very deep in thought while Laura and Nadia were apparently saying things to me and i didnt hear…how freaky is THAT?? so yeah, then the sign was painted mostly by Nadia and Loz, but i put some input into the painting and painted one letter IM SO PROUD hahahaa, and i accidentally spilled black paint on the sign where it wasnt mean to go (bad flicky) but it still looks ok.
And we have a new improved ending!! as previously mentioned by others, our ending was extremely flat and didnt end with a BANG, so now it does, and we were practising a run through yesterday arvo in class and just as we got to the doing the new part the whole class just suddenly walked in and yeah….they loved it, and Cashy said it was so snappy so I was like YAY…. it ends with Laura’s TV screwing up, and Jess, Jaqui Nadia and I r in a line and we do different scenes, with a static sound and Nadia doing news reports in between the lil skits, and I tell everyone how complicated Fairy Bread is to make:P then the last line is See how technology has changed the world, and we all say one word each, but in our characters, then loz goes “bloody technology” or whatever she says then nadia goes “im nadia….goodnight” or something ’round those lines…
we went to Top Acts last night, and must I say man it was so good!!! The Gossip character played by the guy from Top Class was really funny again because he started off in the audience and took some guys jacket then threw it back at another guy…AND HE WORE THE I LOVE HORSES SHIRT!! i think that shirt’s a cack, i love the idea of it…
Tara told me she couldn’t look at me during the Guitar guy from the VCA’s performance because i was laughing at it made her laugh…well i didnt even realise i was laughing, so yeah, but i didnt know when to clap cos he stopped and started so many times and from a guitarist point of view i was like WHHHOOOOOAAHHH!! and the hallelujiah guy omg i wasn’t full on crying but my eyes did well up with tears, it was spooky how well he sang that LOL
Was so funny on the way to Top Acts I went with Laura’s ‘rents and we drove Laura home, and Loz and I have come to the agreement that “I think what she says,” e.g. when our group was brainstorming once and Jess said “so we start off by greeting the table” and I automatically think “hey table” except Loz actually vocalised it, same thing was when somehow Lions came up in our brainstorm and she said “Lions…and tigers and bears OH MY” and i was like omg this is insane!!
So yeah, that’s me for now, au revoir, ciao Peace out xoxoox

I just laughed at the comment the Admin lady gave me…it is very true I do write heaps but I can’t help it…I express myself well on paper…
Well what an eventful week, two huge performances in the time period of a week is just amazing to think that I got through them alright…
well yeah we had our creative arts last night, and it was only the day before that we actually had a dress rehearsal in front of the class and they gave us some constructive criticism on our ensemble, which actually was quite helpful, and we came up with an ending where Nadia goes to kill Laura but Jess and Jacqui save her and run off stage and I say the last line…which I don’t think I was saying particularly well in rehearsals, but after running it through my head loads of times and pretty much annoying Laura with how to say it…I think it said it ok on the actual night, but we feel our ending is still a bit flat…so I think we shall improve it in future, as we still have to perform and get assessed on this ensemble on June 18th
I must say (sorry for sounding a bit cocky here) that I think our ensemble did pretty well considering we only found out like 13 days ago we would perform in Creative Arts, and we spent a lunchtime, class time and before school time, rehearsing and brainstorming new ideas, so I think we did pretty well.
Laura and I were pretty much just hanging with each other most of yesterday and last night, just in the change rooms and around Robert Blackwood Hall, and come the time for the Orchestra to start we were already changed and watching LOL and while walking out of the audience someone said “hey flick” but I had no idea who they were, so I just decided to be nice n say hi anyway:P
So yeah, Cashy seems pleased with our performance, the only malfunction that was noticeable was that Jess’ microphone stopped working near the end of our performance…which did kind of suck but not a great deal, the audience still laughed at her jokes so it must have been alright:D
So yeah, hopefully we’ll do just as good if not, better, on June 18th:D
Peace out, love flicky the Hippie and Cassie (im skitzophrenic…just kidding lol)

OMG guys,
I’m so incredibly buggered! Last night, well actually yesterday, we had drama period 3 so that was just spent in Bunjil everyone practicing etcetc and other members of the class giving some helpful constructive criticism which helped…majorly!!
and then I just had pretty much all day feeling nervous, apart from the morning cos we were doing the bootcamp…and we just HAD to have the bootcamp on the day where I am spending like 14 or more hours at school doing a solo and the bootcamp WAS period one…life’s harsh!!!
Anyways, so I was extremely and utterly nervous, and even Cashy was encouraging me saying “DW flick you’ll be fine,I’m backing you” so thank you very much. Last night was very evident that you can change minor things at the last minute…only two days before the performance I discovered that it might possibly be better without the CD Player and me, I was over stressing (it’s my job:D) so I just figured I’d play some of my guitar and just say the chorus really loud so everyone can hear….which, in the end, I believe that sort of fitted in with my character. Also, during my protesting, about an hour before show time we added in that I would yell “MAKE PEACE NOT WAR” 3 times and on the 3rd make it as if I were saying it to the guy who came up to me, who was going to be in the War, so that fitted in nicely
I was really enrvous close to show time, and it seemed like everyone whose solo’s were before mine (i was last) went really fast, and extremely well…then it was me, and as my mum said it, it looked quite obvious I was nervous while holding the sign and being introduced, but after I did the first protest yell, I eased into it!! It was really great to have not only our whole class watching our solo’s, but to have mates come along and support and I really appreciated this:D To my co soloists who performed last night, well done I love u all (well I love every1 in the class but still..) and I think u all did a damn good job! As Jess said today, I think everyone’s performance energy lifted!!!
I sort of tend to think that I did better last night than what I actually did when I was assessed, but mainly because I had already done it before and that regardless of how crap I did or didn’t do, the audience was always going to clap me anyway:D Also, the fact that this was a performance where I was not going to be assessed, and the only people who knew or had some sort of idea what the assessment criteria would have been would have been my classmates, the year 12 drama girls, and the drama teachers, thats like 30 ppl outta 100 or so, so prob more than 70 most likely had no idea how well I scored:D
Now, onto the Year 12’s, I was considering leaving at half time, but im glad I didn’t because the year 12’s were just AWESOME!! I was so inspired, especially with how well timed and synchronised their actions were, and their russian accents were awesome!! It was really obvious how much work had gone into that performance I was sitting in the audience goin “WWOOOOOAAAAHHHHH” and yeah, so yea I loved the whole night:P:P
Now it’s just more focus on ensemble and creative arts for our group…and then the drama showcase night!!! busy busy busy, but fun fun fun…I think
Au Revoir
Peace Out

As you can tell by my title i am excited…OUR GROUP GOT PICKED FOR CREATIVE ARTS!! well done to all the other groups though, i’m sure yours is great.
So yeah, with Creative arts about 11 days away or so, and due to losing a lesson just to practice our solos again for those performing on thursday night, our group will most likely/definitely be practicing at each lunchtime we can…

I cant remember if I mentioned last time we have changed ours and edited it and Cashy saw it again yesterday(hence why he decided our group cos he had to see everyone’s to make a decision) and yeah, as Nadia mentioned in her blog, She is the Mum, Jess is the Dad, Jacqui is the son, Laura is the Grandad and Im the daughter, and it is pretty much set at Grandad’s house and we just act out scenes as they are being described to the audience…

Also, the lesson before, Nadia gave a really encouraging talk to the class to try persuade people to do their solo’s on Thursday….now, as you could probably see from reading my other blogs, I have been quite nervous about this, but Nadia’s talk kind of made me see it from another point of view, so thanks Nadia!!
So yeah, I’m pretty sure that is me up to scratch, just need to start practicing my solo again…
Peace out, love flicky the hippie

so yeah last lesson cashy watched our ensemble again and he told us what parts to cut out and what parts to keep, and then we just ended up brainstorming more ideas and coming up with good ones and actually changing our plot. Instead of being a spy company, we are actually now a family, just learning about how technology has modified over the years, and explaining how things worked and how they were different to the olden days etc etc
All sounds and seems to be, reasonably good….cant wait to see what the finished product will be like
love flick xoxox

So, last lesson we got more done, and rehearsed it and all that and threw new ideas in and talked and all that…and had just finished adding in another new bit to our script when cashy said it was time to watch ours and what we have done, so we did it in front of him (including the new bit) and I forgot my cue and jaqui and jess were left holding their positions (im really sorry guys, I mean it!!) and i was like “o no it’s my shot isnt it..” and so after a delayed pause i was like “pfft I have a much better story than THAT” and we continued on. He said that there’s a lot we need to cut out as it already goes for about four minutes before we actually mention about technology. As an individual, there is a lot I need to work on to perfect my part of the performance too (e.g. speaking louder and REMEMBERING my cues etc)
The reason why I am a lil stressed is still due to the fact I have a week and a bit before I need to perform my solo everyone again…I know you are probably thinking well that’s what drama is, flick, I know that…but still it’s nerve racking….
Well that’s me up to scratch guys…Peace Out love flick xoxo

Hi guys,
well a lot has happened since my last post….our ensembles are actually coming along quite well….WE HAVE AN ENDING!!! LOL…
we still do have the odd occasion where we do get a bit carried away but o well…we still have worked and will continue to work hard….tis coming along nicely…..
well….Cashy told us today that….year 12 Drama ensemble night, they are no longer doing it with the other school (the other school pulled out) and so now it’s being done at our school, and there’s only like 5 or so girls in that class, which means that us year 11’s will be performing our solos that night to the parents…well half of us, the other half will be performing it on year 11 drama showcase night in June….
So yeah, I volounteered with Nadia n Laura to do mine in two weeks…I figured I just want to get it over with and out of the way…but the reason I am stressing is (I stress lots but try not to show it) because it was my first solo and…yeah it wasn’t exactly the best….but I guess this is a time to improve on it, but what makes it worse is that thought that genelle is most likely performing on that night!! I mean, well I know of course she’s going to be good because she was in Top Class….but it just makes mine look really bad!! I dont mean that in any offensive way, it’s just that I have a lot more to learn about solo’s as this was my first one and genelle is so experienced and yeah!!!
and btw…did I mention I was stressing?? LOL
Peace out flicky the hippie (for another few weeks)

So yesterday (I think it was yesterday:D) we again got together and started talking about more ideas, and my character is the person in our group who uses all the up to date technology, which is really cool….and we are somehow going to use it (the updated technology) to kill/capture Ned Kelly!! Charming I know, but I have thought of some ideas…like maybe I could put an ipod on him and it is the “SONG OF DEATH” or something like that.
We actually got to the stage of acting out our first scene and it was fun because I get to push Laura’s character (Sorry Laura if I offended you in anyway!!)
It seems like our group are going along well, but trust me it has taken a lot to get to this stage…it’s much harder than it sounds like….
But yeah, the finishing product sounds like it will quite interesting…and funny!! I’m in a group with some of the most funniest girls in the class i think….so yeah…I think that’s pretty much our group up to date:D
Cheers, Peace out xo
