The Climbers

Larry…. you did it again, what are you doing to us? you tried to confuss us again. :S

Any way, yesterday was hard, why you ask? Of cause it was hot and it was hard for us to constrict the exerise. Some of the actors did not understand the rhythem. It took a while to get the idea of the pratice. Then we started the big fish-small fish again, the actors began to handle the concept of the game and they have improve it but still needs to improve.

After the break, we continue on the brain concept, then we had an idea about body and mind. So one actor been as a mind and other the body… a few of them are good…. but still didn’t like that idea. I was hoping to put in the 10 anniversity theme play… however, it could corparated as somethin sybalising to it. And mind you, my ideas went wild and i have told Larry with ideas and he thought they are not bad ideas.

Any way, i have to go and trying to cool from the crazy hot weather.

Ciao

Big fish… small fish?!? You are confussing us Larry!!! :/ :P On that last Wedenseday, we did the quick response game called “big fish, small fish”. This game goes like this; it starts off with big fish but we have to do with the opposite to small fish. Then continue with big fish. And we have to do the actions too. So If was to say big fish, i have to do the action with small fish.

Unfortunately… we did not do very well in the end. So Larry continue with the naming game as from last week but this week was food. Next week, we will do the animinals.

After the break, Larry asked us about life in the work area. I thought that we meant to do other issues, so discussed how it like to work in the workshop, or it isn’t enough money to earn a week and etc. Also what is like to live in the hostels in the dark side. In the end, Larry asked about the actaul disability in general and that if a normal person had an accident. Then, Larry give us some of educational story about the brian. What i have learnt was that the brian is actually fat?

After that, Larry asked us to do the scene of the brian from normal to damaged brian. I thought it went well then.

Now, I have to sign off now till next week.

Caio.

Well….. last night was interesting, why? well, Jo is not longer with us for a whole  But with chaos from one end to other. Some of the peolple had ideas for this year….. i said to myself, “o my goodness…. have they got ideas?“. It was unfortunate for them to lose her, but she will be droping by time to time.

Our director is Larry Boyd that is also the Artistic Director for the Company. Some of the group did not wish to read the script or let Larry read the line at the background at the show. Now, he will do as Jo do other the years, no scripts, no themes doings and no sharpirians plays for a whole. So he let the group tell what they would like to do for this year.

The group had ideas that they would like to make a celebration theme for our 10 anniversity. So my idea is to make a documentary film like or make interview how it started til last year. Also i asked the group which ones are their favorite scene or play. So the ideas went well and the ideas went one thing to 20 things at once. And poor Larry couldn’t keep up with the group with their ideas.

Whole we giving ideas, Larry stop for a moment and he told the group that they have been improve so well in the past and improved for over the years now. I have also told Larry about that too. 

Before i end, we wish to welcome our new 2 members, their names are, Adrian and Aliesin. They are from other groups with same company.

This is it for the momenent, and stay tune for the audition for the World Congress of IDEA in Hong Kong in 3 weeks.

Happy new year to you all!!!!! And yes Jo, it was a great year with an exicting news in the end.

I can’t wait for the audition and i have the money on hand till the day. I have also a couple of supporters who they are willing to pay some of the expenses.

For sure Larry will pick me…. Why you asked? Well because i have known the group for almost exactly ten years now. Also i have the talents to make the audience laugh so much that they would think and say that i am the best in the end. 

If the judges picked me, that would be the opportunity to explore a new country and culture. However, i have known their culture pitty well. But of cause i never dare to forget my beloved follow actors of the group.

mmm… I was hoping to pick me. i have been with the group ever since that i have known their personities and there some of their since of houmer. With my talents, i have experties regards to bouffinic style of acting or as in translation to a french clown.

If i wasn’t picked, then i have other plans to continue to make a presentation film for a feature fim for the 2008 Other Film Festival.

Before i go, judges for (IDEAS audition)…. i will give a link with a CV so you can see that i have all of skills for the presentation. Also for other theatre groups and companies might have me in other roles that might fit  The CV.

Hi there, this will be my last post for the year. Also i have a message for you…. wink. here

Hi there,

Last week Jo was happy with our performance. She was so pleased that we have been foused and quicker then last 2 weeks ago. And i was pleased too that I have got the King Midas’s costume…. do I look sexy??? [cough cough] Tonight is our last dress rehearsal and tomorrow is the big day. Wish us a good luck.

And i might not be here for a while but if I dont send you a post pre to Xmas, I wish you a merry Christmas and have a wonderful new year.

mmm… yes Jo, we have got problems without the students. But we got managed to go through without a hanch. We have got good simple costumes and some of them are funky too. lol

Only problem is we need to adjust the timeframe of the scenes, we are a little rusty with it but again, we handling very well considering.

This is the last week for rehearsal for the year. Next week, we will be at Clandler Community Arts Centre for a week. Wish us luck.

This is all for the moment, and see you after the performances and hoping you also be there too.

Yes Jo,

It was freezing my tosh last week….. lol … snow and wind in 1 week. And this week was hot hot and hot again and it was 36 degrees for 2 days a row. And tomorrow 20 degrees… [eyes rolls]

Any way, back from last week’s rehearsal; last was a little rusty but getting there. We were a little slow but we got the idea of the scenes. Maybe this week will be even better… I hope.

For me, I had to learn the lines proparely and sllllloooowwwwllllyyyy…. mmm… yeah… i might have to do it by myself at the centre.

Everyone were there exept 1, she didn’t came for that 2 weeks and that was over three weeks ago. We were a little disappointanted that we all were there every week since November. And that is includes Jo too …. especially her….. and we all hope that she will there tomorrow…. i hope.

Any ways, wish us luck for the peformance and hoping you also will be there too.
