My Turn!

Second day of the acting workshop went really really really cool. We started off with Grace and Danny's script. It went really well. The parts they both got were good and they worked off each other well. Their script Danny's character is asking Grace's character for girl advice. Grace's action was to get someone to learn how to stand on their own two feet. Grace's as- if was to help her sister get on her own two feet because she was being bullied. Danny's as- if was that the girl who is freakishly obsessed with him is getting too comfortable with him and she has a boyfriend. The girls boyfriend was about to beat Danny up and he had to go to his older sister (Grace) for advice. It was really well played a lot of emotion came out of them too. I didn't think the as- ifs would really work because I thought someone could just fake it. It's really not that easy to fake. Finally, I went up with Kaitlyn and we did our part of the script. I didn't think that I would get out a lot of emotion out of that. It is hard for me to get upset or cry or anything in front of people unless I am REALLY upset. I try to keep those things private. I didn't cry but I felt that I wanted to as I was walking home. In the script I played Millie and Kaitlyn played Lindsey. Millie was basically concerned on that path that Lindsey was going down. Millie is a goodie- too shoes and someone you would find playing by the rules. Lindsey was the same way but started to go off in a tangent. Lindsey started not hanging out with Millie and hanging out with the stoners and all of those kids. Lindsey wanted Millie to mind her own business and leave her alone and to worry about herself. My as- if came literally at PERFECT time. I literally mean perfect. In the beginning of the workshop we worked on Grace and Danny's script and I got a text from my friend. She had told me that her and her friends got tickets to a concert that both of us were going to go to together. We have had this planned since about Thanksgiving. The concert is next week the day before my birthday (Passion Pit). It really hurt me that we have had this planned and all ready to go and she just bailed out on me because her friends got her the tickets. She doesn't go to our school she goes to a school with kids whose parents have A LOT of money.  So the tickets her friends got her were probably amazing tickets. Anyways, my action in my script was to stop my friend from going down the wrong path. So I used this. Kaitlyn's as- if was of her ex- boyfriend not giving her space. Her action was basically her trying to get me to accept her new life stlye. When we did the as- if game I got upset and actual emotions came out not just me trying to fake it. It was a wild experience. The only problem Kaitlyn and I had was that we were not too confident with our lines. I always get two lines confused and when we were told to go from the as- if to the scene we started off well until we got to the middle part and I had to stop and think about my lines. We left off with Andrew and Dani. Looking forward to see what happens tomorrow!
