in this lesson we worked on the exact things that were going to be in our play. we suprisingly got a fair bit of work done even though me n dan were busting to go to tamworth. but we did get through it and this is what we have come up with

part 1 = we are praising the spirits and ancestors. dancing and making noise.

part 2 = dan and zac are planning their attack on amanda.. zac does an aside.

part 3 = dan and zac come in intending to shoot amanda but shoot me. they run off in shock horror that they killed me

part 4 = i turn into a spirit. manda and jenna are amazed….

and so on… the rest is in ma book

well yer great lesson and untill next time thats the way the cookie crumbles. 

well.. miss ghest told us that the dat of our performance is the 1st of june. in the lesson we started by being in our groups and circling around the room to different stations with things for us to do (like one was different ways to show rage). our group took a long time to cotton on and no one (including me) really seemed that focused. i think it was last period thing where all we want to do is get out.

then we were told to play build for our peice. i quickly discussed with the group about the dilema with the geisha theme and zac excitedly proclaimed that he wanted to do cowboys and indians. we agreed and went to it (me n zac also decided that we would swap positions hence now i am the hero). i feel a great bond/connection between zac and dan which is great. i started to play build okay but the girls dont really get into the spirit of it and gradually comes down to them hardly participating at all……. but from what i did i was happy.

so untill next time thats the way the cookie crumbles… 

Research

i watched the start of memoirs of the geisha. a geisha is an artist. they entertain rich business men as moving art (twirling fans, etc). they live in little houses in geisha villages where they buy girls to either train to be a geisha or to have as their slaves. the business men give the geishas lots of money to be entertained and sometimes to sleep with. the money was used to buy elaborate clothing and make-up. the geishas lived lives where everything was done for them- the slaves even opened and closed doors for them.

after watching this film and learning what a true geisha is i am a little unsure whether this is really the right topic for the group to be doing. i will discuss this with them at school.

well in drama today we went straight into our groups. we had to think about the following questions:

-who am i- my caharacter is the villan. i had a thought of samuri in my head. i am wise, quick, sharp, witty and bossy

-what time is it- perhaps late 19th century or early 20th century. spring. day time, possibly some in night.

-what surrounds me- a bamboo forest outside the little geisha village with a secret lair in mount fujii.

-what are my relationships- daniel (my assistant) is scared of me because i can hurt him. i dont like zac (hero) and want to get revenge..

-as a leader i can work on- i could help encourage people to let more into their comfort zones.
