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
