weekend:
ADF on saturday was awesome, of course
it was cedar lake contemporary ballet and they were hilarious.
it was mainly modern, duh, but they all dressed in suits periodically throughout the show and one time, grabbed old audience members and took them onstage, tango-ing and sashaying around them.
quite the performance, i applaud. also side note - on the inside cover of the playbill was an ad for UNCSA dance and the dancer was an RC who I know! and he was so excited to see himself on it...anyways
sunday i woke up early, did laundry, and literally relaxed the whole day with law&order and then sweeney todd...then in the evening after dinner, my dormmates and i decided to dress like boys with sunglasses, mustaches, huge clothing, and hoodies and went around the campus, speaking in low voices and basically only saying "ladiesssssss" to everyone who passed. it was fabulous, we did it on a whim, completely.
we're notorious around campus now as being the "faithful five" (somehow we turned into a christian rock band...?) and we did choreographed dances and raps for everyone, including rolling down a hill, being volleyball cheerleaders, dancing to some guy's kazoo, and pelvic thrusting in the what, our coffeehouse.
i can't explain, pictures will do the trick and hopefully they'll be up soon.
monday (today) = combat, audition workshop, and improv and of course acting after lunch
combat: i can now do a backwards fall, along with all my others
audition w.shop: yeah
improv: yeah the usual
acting? our homework over the weekend was to find a traumatic/dramatic story that somehow changed our lives and share it on monday. we got in a circle today and told our stories and everyone was sobbing and feeling for everyone else. some of the things people have been through...god, i just can't even believe it. i can't describe it. it was so sad and shocking and pretty heart-wrenching, to see my fellow fifteen classmates sharing these highly personal stories and being willingly vulnerable. i cried. mike then told us to have a huge group hug and we all just stood their and held each other and cried and one guy muttered "we really have been through some shit."
i dunno, it's always emotional like that and i think mike is getting us to step out of our shells and be vulnerable and learn to share these raw emotions with the rest of our "ensemble". it's my favorite class, besides dance. and camera. anyways
then we went to target and after, as the sun set, made hemp bracelets on the top of the elephants (stone sculptures in the quad)
coming home on thurs for july4th...couldn't be more excited. i love it here, but i also wanna see my gov school darlings and my family, as funny as that is.
xoxo

ReplyDeleteohh friend I love and miss you too
ReplyDeletesorry about my lack of blogging lately, you're deeefinitley way more up on it than me
and you knooowwww i'll be like holllaa hollaaa when you're in durham-what do you have in mind?
I also just realized this is definitley the longest i've gone without seeing you in probably over a year, weird stuff right?
P.S. Europa was amazing! Everywhere we went was goregous, my tie for fave city is between Copenhagen and Amsterdam, both goregous canal cities. Amsterdamn is more eclectic, Copenhagen is where all the hotties reside, so it's really a toss up. But Amsterdam does have delicious thai food yummmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteAnd NCSA was amazing for me as well, we didn't do as much emotional stuff as it sounds like y'all are doing in your acting class, but we did have to bring in a story (mine was about when I was offered to smoke crack) and we did other crazy stuff. Let me know when you start doing Yin& Yang exercises: they are the greatest thing we did in acting class hands down
