Ok so after having spent the good bulk of my weekend doing research and thinking about the upcoming ensemble performance, I think I’m really starting to appreciate how much work it’s going to take over the next couple of months.

Having officially said goodbye to my Monday afternoons, I’m anticipating at least two or three more to go before the task is done. But that’s what it’s about, its a Year 12 subject after all and I’m certain the great reward at the end will more than make up for the hard yards. And yeah, part of me is missing Year 10 Drama with its’ constant, well, not bludging, but prac work and lots of improvising (and when we did slapstick, yeah that was a laugh, i liked that). But there’s something else great about drama now, it’s very different but I’ve got a feeling it’s gonna be just as fun. Especially when that curtain opens for the first time on the big night and it all comes together, I’ve got no doubt you’ll see a big smile on myself and my classmates faces (and not just because the stimulus is happiness, don’t get the wrong idea!).
But yes given the stimulus of happiness and a number of different dramatic elements to incorporate (as well as things like a montage), at the moment me and the rest of the group (class of 4, it’s nice and cozy) are just throwin’ around various ideas and plots, and forming the base of our performance. And hey with a great team and a pretty damn good teacher as well, everything’s lookin’ good. Fun times ahead. Hard.. but fun times.
But oh this is just the beginning….

I’ll be in touch.
