yay & random stuffs
Jun. 16th, 2005 09:03 amDamn, after being toast for like weeks Ezboard seems to be working again. Below the cut is an article on Luhrmann I was really pissed to have lost when the thing blew up. I've linked to it before, but now I'm archiving it here. Probably falls into the "shut up already, Rach" category for all of you. Thankfully, we have the cut tag. Pet the cut tag. Love the cut tag. Moving along.
A fitting way to begin a day that involves an audition for Poultrygeist, The Musical! Don't you think? Yeah, not so much. But I try.
( article )
( why I like it )
Meanwhile, I feel so far behind on everything in the sense of I can get it done or I can document, and unfotortunately, documenting is a pretty significant part of my deal.
Today: 1 audition, 1 performance
Tomorrow: 2 auditions
Saturday: 1 audition, 2 performances (a day which is going to suck, _strongly_)
Sunday: 1 audition
Monday: 1 audition
W, Th or F: 1 audition (I've not decided when to go yet)
You'd think that would make me feel productive, but mostly just frazzled.
Also meanwhile, I'm having a lovely time on this film I'm doing. My role is jut a few lines and we've not started shooting yet, but the production team is lovely, communicative and organized, the latest version of the script was mailed to me last night, it's SAG Experimental or Low-budget or one of those things, which does me no good union-wise but makes the whole thing a very efficient operation. Hopefully they'll bother to get the thing listed in IMDB and then I can be there already. That's one of those not important things that obsesses me.
In less pleasant news, I made a mathematical error wrt my bank account, and so have essentially no money until I get paid on Tuesday, unless I get my check from this play or Haddassah between now and then. That would be a great good thing that I'm trying to will into being, mainly by concentrating really hard. Veins should be standing out on my forehead at any moment.
Had a bit of a freakout during our pick up rehearsal last night, because of damn scene six. I can't run the lines without doing the scene (because it's all "hi" "hello" "hi" "see ya" over and over), and I said this when we were running lines in a hallway before we got our room. So then the stage manager said we should do it in the hallway, but we were half speeding through it and half acting, and I just didn't feel okay. The second we got it into a room (after I was like "I _cannot_ do this") it went perfectly fine. But it was interesting to see how accutely I needed the boundary of the rehearsal room or the theater to feel safe, to understand the expectatins in execution, and to not worry I was somehow making a fool out of myself. What could I have done differently? Well, instead of trying to just brave this whole thing out from the beginning, I should have said way back when this started so many weeks ago, that this sort of thing gives me the heebie jeebies, and it's fine, I can do it, but just know sometimes I might be a little jittery. I'd like to think that had I done that, I could have much more calmly addressed why doing it in a hallway was not okay, and in fact the whole thing could have been avoided. Honestly, what shocks me the most was how easily I snapped back into doing it once we had the room.
The great thing about using a monologue from an Australian play that's never been published or performed here, is I can so be wobbly on it, and as long as I look like I know what I'm doing, it's relatively cool. This is a little sneaky, and I don't do it all the time, but today is one of those days.
