Tuesday

I LOVE THIS WORKSHOP! Does it have to be over this Tuesday? Really? That just can't be! I still have another monologue to work on. AHH! Not to mention I believe all of us, regardless of whether or not we're auditioning for colleges, love the workshop, and equally importantly, we love Joy! Okay now i'm just going on a happy tangent that sounds like a 5 year old wrote it...

We worked on the subtext of our pieces today. We sat in a chair facing whomever our character was speaking to (in my case, the character's sister) and say the monologue, then say what's behind the monologue, the subtext. The subtext was often our own combination of the writers' words, but I think that's okay, because it showed that we understood the piece.

It was at this point Joy gave me a terrific compliment and told me that she was going to push me harder than before because she saw what I had inside of me. This literally made my week, I can't put it into words. It really reinforced that I am special at something and not just like everyone else.

The two things I still need to work on are breathing and slowing down. SHOCKING right? (/sarcasm). But i'm willing to work on them [:
