Monday - Did rehearsing. Not sure what we worked on..?
Tuesday - Worked on scene with Firpo racing on the beach.
Wednesday - On Wednesday we had our double as usual.
First half worked on some scenes and found out i played some more characters. extras and Man3 in that beach scene. Second half we did some character analysis using Firpo as an example.
Friday - Continued on character analysis (put into pairs), then did a teeny bit of rehearsing.
Saterday - We had reahearsals on Saterday from 11:00am till 4:00pm. Lots of people showed up late and some people just didn't show up at all. It was a pretty intense day actually. There was a scare that we wouldn't be doing the production because of the lack of commitment our class has towards putting on a show. Paul (Mr. Sullivan) was pretty upset and really disappointed in us. In the end though the class came around and is going to work really, REALLY hard to make sure we keep on schedual. So we had a run through from the start to what we could get up to and it seems like it's coming along nicely. We worked mainly on the first half of the play but did the last scene too. Just after Firpo looses the race. I havn't worked much on that scene so getting the feel of t=what to do was i little teensy weensy bit difficult to get a grasp on. My voice wasn't as Firpo-ey as it should have been but i'll work on it.

Term3, Week1
On our Monday lesson we went straight into rehearsing. We started on what we were doing on the last day of school which but then continued through to stuff that was done over the holidays and i didnt know what was going on so i tried making up some stuff which probably didn't look as cool as i though it did. Then we went into a little bit of the script which was a bit difficult because i hadn't gotten hold of how my character should be yet.
We had an after school rehearsal on Tuesday which went from 3:30 to 5:30. It was pretty tough that afternoon. We were choreographing how to set up seens like in Firpo's shack where we had people up making the house around me. Then we did this thing where (in the play it's after Firpo gets given a letter to a race on the beach) and Riley's character Boy is prettending to win all these events. There was a bit where he jumps a set of stairs and we lay on the floor as the stairs. It was tricky because i have to hold Riley of the ground with my hands and feet while the rest of the stairs rearrange themselfs. I hope it looks really cool because its hard work man.
Wednesday. We just continued with the script and acting and deciding what to do for the scenes. People keep not showing up though so we have to have people filling in for others and it gets quite annoying.
On Sunday we had a rehearsal at school from 3 to 7.. i think. It went well considering how tired a lot of us were. Me, from pulling an all nighter the night before :P

Before the Holidays
We recieved our scripts for "The End of the Golden Weather" and started reading it as a class. The story to me, personally, sounds kinda weird but i guess as we start doing it, it will get more interesting and fun. I missed quite a bit of it when we were reading in class though because i was sick and had to stay home so I'll catch up on it later.
Mr. Sullivan told me and Riley that he wanted us both to audition for the characters Firpo and Boy. So Riley and I worked together and did a scene each, with both Boy and Firpo in it and just swapt characters for the different scenes. We did a pretty good job i guess because Sully ended up making me Firpo and Riley Boy. Neither of us were craving for the characters that we got but ah well. We're stuck with it now :P
On the last day and last drama lesson of the term, there weren't many students that showed up. We started choreographing the introduction to the play. It was weird but kinda cool. We start off laying on the floor then we all roll around till we're sitting up listening to Bea (who plays Narrator) as if we are all children listening to a story. Then as she's saying her lines we get up and do stuff and it's pretty cool.
Over the holidays we had two rehearsals booked. We were a bit behind schedule because we had our Shakespear assessment extended but we're a pretty awesome class (aside from the attendance one of our students has and the number of people dropping out) so we'll still be able to work it in the time we have. I couldn't go to either of the rehearsals though because i was a little bit more sick than before so i was home. I was home for most of the holidays actually. But when we start in class i should be ok and i'll be working hard at it!
