This is my journal of stuff that happens in my TA 101 class. I began this journal as part of my assignment and now, as part of my blogging craze, its made its way to blogger for the whole world to see.

Script Draft #1

It's done, it's finally done. the first draft of our script it done and we're all pretty excited about it. Today, we worked out the kinks in the blocking and Pritina and Farrah walked us through some of the basics like:

1. Talk to the audience and not to each other.
2. Speak loud, don't shout, just be audible
3. Visualise the character you're playing (esp for Judy and Lauren)
4. Listen to your DIRECTORS! (very important)

Now, i just realised that i haven't told you who the characters are, so here we go, in order of appearence:

JUDY - HAZEL
LAUREN - GRETEL
NATASHA - WOODCUTTER FATHER, TREE, COTTAGE, CAGE, OVEN
SAILOSI (ME!) - STEPMOM, BIRD, TOAD, TREE, COTTAGE, WITCH

Yes ladies and gentlemen, i am the witch of the play. Pritina and Farrah are a little skeptical about me playing the witch, but i'll show them. They don't know that i've played the role of a witch several times.

If you have to know, when i was growing up in Malaysia, my school did a production on "The Wizard of Oz" and I was an understudy for the Wicked Witch of the East. You should hear my cackle! God i'm evil...lol

Yeah so, that's about it for today's rehearsal, we're meeting again next week Tuesday in class for some more work on our blocking with maybe Ian or Apete's help.
