I am a fun loving outgoing person who loves to make people laugh whether or not its something I say or just the faces I make. I don't know what my future holds there are so many thing I'm interested in its hard to pick just one or two to stay apart of. There are many things I love, many things I think are amazing and want to be apart of theatre is one of these. I have always loved art from digital art like a movie, or a 3 D headset, to drawings and paintings and things I can feel, touch and be able to see the emotion form the art itself. I look forward to performing in all aspects even if I'm one of the ones painting the background sets.

I don't think I have changed much every thing is kinda the same when it comes to my openness, and how I interact with others. Drama is my favorite class because I get to act silly and be weird, to be honest I always am ether way. In this class it is just more fun then just being weird by myself or to my friends because I get to see people break out of their shells, and met new people that i don't know and make friends because of how silly I am. It makes me happy to make people laugh, if even for a second or a quick chuckle because i don't know they might be really stressed out, they might need a laugh or somethings going on at home that is really sad and they need the cheer up. I'm here for my entertainment and to be apart of the action, I hope it not change myself but to improve it.

I loved the whole thing to being part of it to being able to watch it from the sidelines. my group honestly thought are act wasn't gonna be long enough so we drug out the fight scenes, unknowingly making it five minuets. Many clapped and to be honest the group and I felt very appreciated. It didn't feel anything like 5 minutes, i guess the saying ' time flies when your having fun is very true'. I was very happy with how are performance went.

I am doing many things to prepare for my performance such as reading over my monologue so I am able to get back into the setting of my character ( my character is me), also reading over it multiple times to be able to get the right inflection in my voice that I'm trying to convey. The feed back I would most like to receive is on my emotional physicality, and on anything I could / or should improve.

Before preforming I was fine and I knew I could do it but the time came to preform it I wasn't sure. When performing my original monologue,I felt very nervous. Like my heart was gonna burst out of my chest, before I started to perform (once my name was called). Once I got up their it felt like the words wouldn't come out of my mouth, but then I started talking and it just came out naturally. I was happy with how my performance went but i felt like i could do better, I'm very hard on myself in that aspect.

So your nerves did show through some bits of nervous wandering, but overall I appreciate that you worked to use the space. Just as your vocals should match the intentions of the text, so too should your movement be intentional with changes in tactic. What dynamics of voice and movements could you add to ensure the beat changes in your text are apparent? Knowing who you're talking to, and where they are, should help with the focus of your movement. Overall, your intonation is very natural.

My set design was very nerve racking at first because I had no idea what to do for it then at home i sat and actually looked at me collage and i saw a really big reacquiring theme and that is games, video games. i thought to myself what if i did some kind of spooky fantasy thing like post apocalypse thing then i thought of an old abandoned castle. That's how i started. Then after school one day i was hanging out with Mr. Hanky- panky, after a drama meeting and he gave me the idea that the stage pieces could be removable, like an actual stage. That's how i came up with the idea of my project.

My puppet is crazy like actually mad, because he is the mad hatter. Their is a twist he is from the video game Alice madness returns and the video game is about how Alice comes back from wonderland and her parents die in a fire so she starts going crazy, so she is sent to an insane asylum, when she escapes she goes back to wonderland only to see that she has to save herself and wonderland from being consumed by the madness that holds them both. the one thing I'm doing is making it have a deeper meaning and that it that he was perfect and smiling and that is the mask he holds and underneath is is crazy as ever.

I'm a stickler for details, when I want to bring a character to life I take all the steps to do so. My character is the mad hatter but even more crazy then before. I had no clue on how i was going to make his head after four pieces of foam and hot glue i finally made the head, then i had to put the skin on and make everything look realistic as i can. he has a really big head but my character in general has a really big head, and he has the big personality to match it.

Thanks Elina for your nice comments on my puppet, it took me a really long time, i almost thought i wasn't gonna have it finished by the time we were going to preform. I liked your puppet to i thought your guys story was great, good job.

I thought the puppet play went pretty well one thing I think could have been better is if we added more depth to the story and actually made it into a longer skit. I thought my voice could have been better, my manipulation could have been more than just standing their. Their was a lot of great plays that I have seen with more depth and more manipulation with the side of comic insides.

My idea for each character is that they will be very different form each other. Thisbe will be a fallen angle type of outfit and one of the Athenians, I haven't particularly decided to which one I am going to do. I chose Thisby for this out fit because it shows a different take on the story at hand.

I Haven't Seen Your Makeup & Hair Design or Your Costume Design But I'm Sure They Both Look Good. I Hope You're Ready To Perform In The Play Tomorrow & Have Your Lines Memorized.
I Wish You The Best Of Luck During Your Performance.

Well don't know exactly what I am doing, I just have ideas of what I want to do. My ideas consist of a multitude of plays and other performance, such as Alice and Wonderland, Star wars, Wizard or Oz, Mid- Summer night dream. My "Performance " is going to be costume designs for a combination of plays, I also might do a monologue based on maybe one of the plays I decide to design for. I'm not Hoping for much of a take away form my "performance" I'm just hoping that I can pull this off in the time frame I have.
