howdy sports fans!! I mean...... Drama fans!!
I've had 3 extremely lazy weeks (school wise) and thought hell with school back tomorrow, i should make an effort and do something.
We had two rehearsals in the last week of the holidays. Well i wouldn't call them rehearsals, more workshops. And thank you Kane for passing on your fantastic knowledge during these. In the first day, we went through the 8 forms of movement. I won't go through them now seeing as though I'm too lazy to get off my bum and find the sheet. In learning these, we were put through different and weird looking movements that i think some people didn't feel comfortable doing without laughing or complaining. To be honest, this really disappointed me. I think a few people needed to just accept we were doing something silly and just do it properly because I definitely feel I could have got a little more out of the exercises if my focus wasn't interrupted by people laughing or pointing out we looked stupid.

Lastly was the hot ring. Each of us got into the centre of a circle as our characters and were asked questions in like a arena theatre forum sort of thing. In doing mine, I actually felt real emotion coming out of me. Just thinking of my characters sister and how i as the brother feel about her and how I'm dealing with it and everything just made me feel almost real. As I stepped out of circle I felt an almost overwhelming emotions. Sounds lame but it felt extremely powerful. I feel a lot more confident with my character.
Wow that was long. GO ME! Enjoy sports fans!!

Kyle,
2 things
1) You are really using your blog effectively. You are showing that you are able to reflect on the process and articulate particular strengths and weaknesses. Keep this going.
2) the thought and development that you are writing about with your character is soooooooooo beneficial to you and me reading it. You will be thankful that you documented this when it comes to the report. Your decision to use Kane as a sounding board and for adivce is just great and I know that he will feel that if giving you time has allowed you to make some discoveries about your character then it was totally worth it for him.
You are thinking and reflecting as an actor.
3) I have to throw in a third.
Thank you for caring and for putting so much heart into character. It is this that will stand you apart from others. I am impressed, extremely so and moved by your performances.
Thank you and keep it going
