a random Pakeha lady told me I looked "so beautiful (...) like a little China doll" today 8/
One week to opening night! Starting to get nervous; I think I've hit the two week out wall: I'm dropping lines, timing things wrong, forgetting blocking changes, and it's freaking me out aaaaaah.
We watched season one's dress rehearsal last night and it was kind of amazing: One of the boys is very elaborately pretending to do Everything is Going ( Read more... ) -
you know what feels awesome? getting AO3 kudos from someone whose writing you like
ablabsolute's 21st was in the weekend and I had a great time! Good pizza at Big Dogs on Blair :) And it was lovely to catch up with non-theater people.
Obligatory theater babble: We open in two and a half weeks!! And we are barely off-book ahahaha. But it is lovely to have the team back together ;o; and I have my costume! And I accidentally found two perfect ( Read more... ) -
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL
Last night I saw Sunset Road by Miria George with the And What Remains cast and director. It was really good! Despite my dozing off early on; apparently I needed my nap. What is even happening to me. Everyone was fantastic and the physically stylized moments were gorgeous-looking. And after one of our Summerfolk directors (she's mentoring our AWR ( Read more... ) -
June has kind of been a big month
Summerfolk was kind of brilliant. On the last night we had a full house and extra seats in the galleries!! I love being right there with the audience reacting to stuff; I had this off screen line screaming for a boat and on the last night I actually heard someone worrying about it. It really taught me that acting is such a process, because things ( Read more... ) -
There'll be other stories. I'm up for it!
In the next month I have:- An essay comparing two theater companies from a list (which I was briefly displeased, after my mid-essay rant last year on ethnocentrism in our theater studies, to notice had only two companies that weren't European, American/Canadian, or New Zealand, but naturally I only noticed this far too late to ask if I could write ( Read more... )

first couple of days of uni 8)
I've had my back X-rayed and hopefully when I visit the doctor again I'll find out the hell went wrong here and how to fix it. I wish she'd hurry up; I'm not looking forward to theater shenanigans with a munted back. :/ At least I'm really light on textbooks this sem: Only one of my classes has a student notes book and it's not too thick (that's ( Read more... ) -
I rollerbladed allllllllllll arouuuuuuuuuund town today :D
Classes are over for the year! I walked out of my last ALIN 202 workshop (which pretty much just turned into a shared lunch with some kickass food) with yet another A+ that feels slightly undeserved. I have pretty much kicked this class' ass with very little effort, to the point I'm doing better in it than the classes for my majors. o_o;; (I had a ( Read more... ) -

Classical theater workshop mostly rocks right now. I say mostly rocks because a friend and I did a lot of awesome work on our bit last week but it suddenly feels so different with the rest of the cast actually there and blocking not just text and it feels like we took two steps forward and one step back. But we will claw our way back to our ( Read more... ) -
On This Day In 2009, I was learning about prostitutes (I love Facebook's new "On This Day In X")
Stuff that made me smile today:- I figured out how to print stuff at uni without any help! Yes, after a semester and a half (the setup's changed since I was in first year) I finally worked it out. Sometimes having been away a year makes me feel like such a first year.

Totally failed at giving a shit about most of my lectures today: Film lecturer went over the joys of writing based on actors' improvisation and method acting (thanks but we're never going to get to do that for our assignments so what the hell), English I'm sure would have been helpful if I'd actually read the short stories but I hadn't and don't ( Read more... )
