Today in Theater was not that exciting. It was not a bad thing, it was actually good for a change. Firstly, we started by getting a partner. Then we had to stretch while holding each others hand. While we stretched, we had to recite Life's Brief Candle, a poem that we already knew by heart :) I paired up with Melissa and we had quite a lot of fun discovering how well or not our body could stretch. After that, we all gathered in two circles according to guys and girls and we started to read the monologue scripts. Now, this was something I was looking forward to. I was eager to know what kind of characters we would be able to portray. I picked up the first sheet of paper I saw and started reading. "I wanted to be a sex goddess." That sentence actually struck something in my head. I was taken aback at how indiscreet and straight forward it was. I loved the fact that Ms Pat had so brilliantly allowed us to use such characters for a monologue. That sentence pretty much said it all and I immediately fell in love with the piece. As I kept reading on, I became well assured that this was the piece I wanted to do. However, I had to give the other scripts a chance. I read a few more, but the words seemed to float around the page as I knew my mind and heart was set on being a Marilyn Monroe wannabee. But did I have the confidence for it? I consulted Ms Pat. However, her reaction gave me mixed feelings about my choice. But then again, I wouldn't settle for anything else. I don't know what it was that happened when I read the script, but I was hopeful that I could pull this one off! |
