i feel that our performance is too dialogue driven.
i know language is one of our theatrical conventions, but it just feels boring. we need to work on boosting our physicality in scenes, weaving it in where it would be rellevant and powerful as “a picture speaks more than a thousand words” lol.
also we need to encorporate even MORE with the balloons…use them in everything! this will come more easily tomorrow when we can actually use them lol.
ALSO i am oh so proud of Sarah! she had her epiphany today in her ‘angry smart scientist’ bit haha.
she just “had it”

oh and i want our performance to be better than my solo last yr lol i saw it today.
i want to challenge and push myself…not just be the typical comedic/evil bitch type haha but hopefully i will convey another ‘version of Ashleigh’ in sc 6.
i just want to push myself and everyone in my group for GOLD!
we ARE the goldenbunnies hahah!
and i apologise for being a hard cow but you will thank me in the end!

ok, signing off AGAIN!
ashleigh xoxoxoxo

YESSS! today we got out performing blacks (they look oh so good!) and tomorra…THE CYLINDER! oh yes oh yes it will be sweet lol! this will really help us out as it is a huge difference working with helium-filled balloons rather than man blown ones lol.
we have been having morning rehearsals from 7.30-8ish everyday but monday (SO SORRY I FORGOT ABOUT TUESDAY GUYS!!! MEGA SORRY!) but i think we are making it 8 now because it’s so much easier for everyone and no one has to sit around waiting like i did today lol. as well as that we are rehearsing every lunchtime until further notice; it’s hard but we need the practise.
today emily goddard came to give us feedback etc but we literally couldn’t spare time polishing it. we want to get everything running as smoothly as possible and then see what we can (subtley) change/add.
we also haven’t gone through scene 5 with the rest of the group lol!
but i’m not worried as yet, if we keep working as efficiently as we have been (and PERFECT OUR ACCENTS and KNOW OUR LINES which wastes valuable rehearsal time) we should be a-ok.
just so pumped for tomorrow and the balloons!
love Ash!
