Kayla is filming this. It is incredibly irritating. Documenting my documenting of life is obnoxious
How do you document real like when real life's getting more like fiction in each day??
Okay, so I'm a bit ADD today.....but I guess I'm allowed, it is the day of Fall Break...
And.....I have to cope with ADD, lack of caffeine, and my kilt (which restricts motion like no other) during rehearsal today
Which, so far has been rather fun, although I now realize Bernice is one of the most difficult characters to grasp, and despite that fact that she spends the majority of her time in a catatonic state on the floor. But now that I have a mental image of her (crazy "earthy" artist/cat lady), my perception of her character is slowly but surely sharpening.
The other day, as my parents were vociferously reminding me that my favourite hobbies will never translate into successful careers and I will likely starve, I began to compare my two major hobbies, drama and writing. Both are based on observation and forming a conception of human behavior. Initially, I considered writing to be alot more demanding, as you have to observe humans and then immediately isolate yourself and separate yourself from human behavior while trying to reach insightful conclusions about it and document it accordingly.
Yet forming a larger-than-life character to become for 90 minutes is no small task either. Screen acting felt so easy and natural because it's an extension of your own character, but Bernice is someone entirely different, a facade of another person that I have to become. Now, I honestly don't know which is more fulfilling or more complicated....I guess I'll have to get better acquainted with Bernice first.
