WIL- Workshops, Week1
1- dleighb is a leftie
2- Gillian Frasier is Scottish
3- "Allow" is hard for me to do, which makes little sense in my brain, because I do it so often in real life. Heck, work is one big "ALLOW" most days. Push- no problem. Pull- no problem. Stop- Totally never a problem. Allow---must work harder
4- I love that there is physicality in all my classes now. Because I am good at it, it gives me a measure of success in each class, and because it's different in each class, I can keep getting better and learning more about it.
5- I am on a gift-giving basis with at least half of the instructors in each class... which isn't to say half of the instructors overall (which seems like faulty logic, but it worked out in my brain). Not really an important revelation, but one that struck me none-the-less.
6- This has nothing to do with Faire, but I remembered that I still say "nother" as in "a whole nother ______". Chalk it up to dialect and trying to figure out Celeste in my head & make her more Yorkshire and less "Lazy English accent that comes easy to me"
7- Hearing performers whom I look up to say "This will always be hard" is really encouraging. I know it's first weekend and we're supposed to be rusty, but I don't like to fail. I'm vain and want to always look good. It sometimes keeps me from trying as hard as I should, and that's bad.
8- I like B as a teacher. Which is different from loving & adoring her as a human and as my family. I always knew she would be capable and good. But now I can say that I like the way she communicates ideas to the class, 'cause I was there when she did it.
9- I don't like doing "scenes" per se, but in the Burt Lab, Burt made scenes the way Faire is. Don't forget the audience, involve the audience, break the 4th wall (it's not there anyway) and be campy, make asides, be cheeky. It was good to do them that way. It felt more productive.
10- Watching Dana run to get her ice cream cone will make me smile when I thought my face was too tired to smile anymore.
