That was fast

Welllll, the show is over. Tears. Oh well now its time to focus on school and who am I kidding? I miss being in a show. I cant wait for South Pacific. Who knows when that will be. Not even people in The Miracle Worker know when its going to be over and we have to wait to finish one show before we can start another. At least I have theatre class... every other day!!! Sometimes I absolutely hate this block schedule nonsense. At least I have two days to do homework.

We are going to start Directing tomorrow. Maybe I'll enjoy that. I'm doing a scene from W;t. the semicolon and all. Its a play about this old lady who is dying from cancer. I guess old is an exaggeration. She's a few years older than 50. An English Doctorate who's obsessed with wit. She just so happens to be a collage professor. I don't know why I chose to do it, first scene I read I actually enjoyed. Its the scene where she finds out she's not going to survive the cancer and if she has a heart attack, she wants them to just let her dye. Pretty intense if I dare say so myself. I think it should be an interesting experience.

Speaking of experience, I've been able to see lots of directing techniques everyone form my father on up. I think the kind of director I like most is someone who is positive, but firm. Someone who is on the same page as the actor but likes to try different things. Experiment. That's who I want to be when it comes to directing someone who's more like a leader than a dictator.

My dad an my theatre teacher this year are kind of in that dictator role too. Maybe even the director from Rapunzel. Not that they are evil people. I genuinely like all three of those people, but just the way they direct is kind of controlling. They tell you what to do and how to do it. Little creativity was allowed with the

My Junior High theater teacher was a very easy going director. She allowed her students a certain freedom to discover things for themselves. My freshman theatre teacher and the co-director in Rapunzel. They all would trust you to use creativity and make the show better.
