That's right blog readers. I got cast as Huck Finn in the Mark Twain tribute play "Tom, Huck and Jim". Bradley Sattler is playing Tom and Deandre Clay is playing Jim (all acting 2 students). So basically Peter's Acting 2 class kicked ass and took all the title characters.
I'm super excited, just finished reading the script and can not wait for rehearsals to start.
I'll be blogging about my process.
yay

Axiom and Neurosis
What is Axiom and Neurosis? if you're a smart cookie you would guess it's the title of something because of the capital letters.
Axiom: a statement or proposition that is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true
Neurosis: a relatively mild mental illness that is not caused by organic disease, involving symptoms of stress (depression, anxiety, obsessive behavior, hypochondria) but not a radical loss of touch with reality. Compare with psychosis .
apt names for a superhero and a not-so-super-villain. I found a clip of a Neurosis monologue. It took forever and a day to upload so you better enjoy

post number two.
in class we were assigned to observe and report. watch an interesting person in one of our classes and mimic that person. I picked a weird guy who points with looks like he's resting a feather on the tip of his nose. that or the guy who keeps his jaw closed when he talks. character development. yay.
but really i like this assignment. sometimes i forget about observation and how important it is to developing a physical character that isn't me.
more to come

In the Beginning...
Despite my seemingly religious opposition to blogging I have been thrown into a peculiar circumstance. I am taking Acting 2 with the *wonderful, talented, weird and funny looking Peter Cirino. I know you will read this at some point Peter and I think becoming tenured has made you drunk with power. Demanding students to maintain a social networking site IN ADDITION to the Facebook or Myspace they already have? As if we spend enough time on the internet. So here I am spending hours secretly enjoying setting up a blog and verbosely explaining my situation to the hoards of internet junkies who are dying to read another blog.*
Here it is. Enjoy
