drama- week 3

hello,

well it is like a week to the performance. Im a little worried we wont have our play polished to the best it could be. it is becoming harder and harder to sit every lesson listening to the people in my group talk away our class lessons. i wish i could say it was my fault to but the truth is i rarely talk with the other people in my group because i hardly know them, and we don't have alot in common. i think they are all great people but it is beginning to be more and more noticeable of the little work we have been doing in class. we have organized lots of after school rehearsals and hopefully that will help (if everybody will come). I'm also having trouble with my character for the school scenes. She is a 15 year old high school student. i think it makes it easier, with this kind of situation, to know the status of your character, Lisa and Erin are 'popular' and Ben is a 'nerd' and i am kind of in the middle. this is hard because i cant develop a character of somebody being popular in a school or a nerd. so i am trying my best to develop a character that can fit..well....just being normal i guess, but i keep thinking if i do this it will be to boring, well i am confusing myself now so i will stop rambling on. i hope you can sort of understand what i am saying Ms Mace.

bye bye

Yes i can understand what you are saying.
I think this is the trap of doing sterotypes in performaces such as yours. as it suits some and not others. Also be careful when creating characters not to use terms such typical. No one is typical. Would you see yourself and everyone one around you as typical teenagers? If you would what does this actually tell you about you or them. Nothing really as you are all so different and when playing a character this difference needs to come through.
