Soaring Reflection (1/20)
I was very surprised that I didnʻt wobble at all despite not doing this activity for a while. Itʻs weird to think that I used to take this activity for granted when things were normal. I really missed doing Soaring and forgot how good it made you feel after. I feel so much more energized and focused and just ready for the tasks that lie ahead of me for the day. I tried my best to incorporate the Aikido points in there but I was more focused on maintaining my concentration and balance as well as shooting the energy through the tips of my fingers and toes. I know this isnʻt an organized entry but I canʻt believe I used to take this activity for granted. I used to do Soaring all the time last year and it never hit me that I would have to leave it behind for a couple of months while the pandemic took its course. I really love this activity. Soaring <3

IBT Featured Entry (1/15)
For this featured entry, I will be reflecting on the process leading up to the final performance of my STP. Of course the task of making a piece of solo theatre is daunting in and of itself but having to tackle the virtual component of it was especially strenuous. I constantly found myself asking questions about how I could make my piece engaging and unique to please the audience and how I could incorporate my own innovative twists in the STP. I tried to do research with films because I thought that there would be many similarities with film acting and a filmed STP performance but that failed. So, I decided to watch filmed virtual theatrical performances from Fordham University’s Acting Program to see how they adapted with the virtual component of performing. Despite these performances being ensemble shows as opposed to solo shows, I picked up a lot. One thing that I found interesting was the way that they interpreted their relationships to the camera. During the play, the characters would face in different directions in scenes to make it look like they were facing each other while talking but for the most part, they would look directly into the camera. As an audience member--even though I knew I was sitting on my living room couch thousands of miles away from them--I felt like I was in the show myself. That aspect really made it engaging to watch so, I used it myself in my STP.

Audition for sides
General Notes: -The slate can make you get or lose the job just from that. Have an intention.
-Visualize. Visualize. Visualize.
-The slightest graze of your eyebrow would need a closeup in film. So stillness and eye contact is essential in film. Use your eyes. Show emotion with your eyes.
-Scene starts off with someone literally bothering you while you are pressed doing something. Play it like that.
-A question for the Stranger Than Fiction scene: What are the letters? What do they look like? What is your choice on these things? For me, I envisioned them as fan mail and she doesnʻt respond because she feels responsible to bring happiness to so many people and sheʻs defeated because she canʻt write any pages which is why the writerʻs block is so bad for her.
-You want to make sure that you acknowledge the beat changes.
-Act with your partner. This isnʻt just a monologue. Itʻs a scene
-Have a secret, have an agenda. It adds to the complexity of the piece.
-You should be THINKING about what your character is thinking, not just saying what theyʻre supposed to be
-When a big shift happens, it mostly happens when you arenʻt speaking; itʻs driven by actions and pictures.
-What is your characters behavior? There are a lot of interesting possibilities about what they actually behave like (in reference to Stranger Than Fiction)
-The auditionees want to see the performance in the room, with the script in hand.
Erisan: Choice-Stranger Than Fiction, Kay
-Seems closed off
-Find the humor in the scene. The pre-smoked cigarettes part is funny so play it.
-Not memorized yet still had a strong connection and good sense of character
-Could work on visualization. Especially during the picture portion of the scene. It would be stronger if the audience could see the image as well.
-What is her secret? What is she trying to play up?
-Could go faster.
-Too much acting, use yourself
-The chunk of the scene where sheʻs describing the picture of the dead woman, itʻs sort of a test for Penny because she didnʻt react to that OBSCENE anecdote. The line after is a beat change where you decide to sort of trust Penny now.
-Nice physicalization of the beat change
-The beat change after the image is “even though i said that, that is not the solution to killing Harold Cricke.”
Kambraey:
Choice-Stranger Than Fiction, Kay
-Used her eyes well. Very scary.
-Used a voice. Try to stay away from that. It sounds inauthentic(?)
-Nice visualization with the photo portion
-Be aware of facial expressions. Some of them are awkward and donʻt really fit the scene.
-How can you fix the beat changes? Some of them seem awkward. Maybe by physicalizing them?
Kenzie:
Choice-Stranger Than Fiction, Penny
-Active listening?
-Maybe a bit more visualization
-What is your secret agenda?
-What is your action on that last monologue? What are you trying to make Kay think, feel, or understand?
-How can you find a variety of emotions by varying your emphasis? If youʻre playing a submissive assistant the whole time, it can get redundant.
Second look after adjustments:
-When she placed her partner at a specific place, it seemed to improve her delivery
-You could see her really start to think in this look. Sheʻs processing everything sheʻs saying to Kay. Nice
-Nice work on her active listening
-You can see her really start to envision the Leaper photo that was being explained to her
-Physicalized when her intentions changed. You could see when she turned from a submissive and sweet assistant to a real hard-ass and authoritative figure over Kay (much like “donʻt embarrass me, i will make you do your damn work”)
-more preparation
Olivia:
Choice-Stranger Than Fiction, Kay
-I think she could take it slower so that she can really think about what sheʻs saying
-The change in topics “they say..” sound awkward. I think she could take her time here
-More visualization
-Can you physicalize beat changes?
-More preparation so she doesnʻt rely so much on the script. The first minute is very important so try to get off script for that part. The beginning and the end is very important
-Highlight the action words.
-Make this all about testing the assistant. Try to surprise her and shock her. During the “Theres a, theres a photograph” part.
Second look from “theres a, theres a photograph”:
-Visualize!! Do you really see the picture?
-Physicalize your beat changes. Make it a bit scarier. This is all about testing her to see if she is fit.
Mika:
Choice-Stranger Than Fiction, Penny
-Nice start. I really liked how preppy she chose to play the assistant. Very strong. Engaging.
-Shows that sheʻs listening to her partner by nodding and making sure her partner knows that sheʻs listening
-Would be so much better if her reader stayed in it
-Change the intention of the assistant through the piece. If you continue to play her so submissively then it gets boring.
-A bit of visualization would make this stronger.
-The last monologue and last line feels like it doesnʻt have any sort of intention or understanding of what sheʻs actually trying to say.
Jackson:
Choice-Stranger Than Fiction, Penny
-Nice costume !! Very fitting for the role
-Active listening??
-Find the humor in the scene
-What is your reaction to the photo? Are you freaked out?
-Are you insulted when they say that youʻre adorable and that your ideas are quaint?

Free write/clearing my head
As of right now, I have so many things going on in my head. The aftermath of the Capitalʻs invasion and the unjustified breaking of government property is so incredibly overwhelming to digest. The stupidity of these people who have done this for NO TRUE REASON is just astounding. I like to believe that America and itʻs society has taken many steps forward in our political correctness so that we can learn to be a unified nation but the event that took place yesterday took us back many steps. I donʻt care what your political stance is, but if you agree with the attempted coup yesterday then I donʻt know what to tell you. (Not targeting any specific person in that, I am just using “you” as a way to address anyone. Just to clarify)
Itʻs even crazier to believe that the police force there was so weak as compared to the police force protestors of the BLM movement were faced with. Of course, people were tear gassed and people were killed in this event but as terrible as it sounds, the force those selected people experienced were DESERVED as they INFILTRATED THE CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES. I canʻt believe that I typed out that sentence because never in a million years did I think I would write that sentence as something that happened in real life and not in a movie. We are one week into 2021 and so many things have already happened that itʻs just insane.
But in other news, I have a second interview with the General Manager of this place I want to work at. This would be my second job that I am taking on so I would be a senior with two jobs. Just to pay for college. But itʻs ok because this is building character and really testing me as a person LOL. I am excited to start another job and get that experience in, though.
Anyways thats basically it.

STP Feedback from classmate and peer mentor (10/28)
-What if this were written from just Maisieʻs perspective?
-Maybe incorporate the fact that she was abusive and his family life was terrible so he had to end it
-Research specific disorder and incorporate symptoms into the piece
-Voiceover in the beginning maybe?
-The setting in her dorm room, immediately after Kyleʻs death is announced
-She is being sused out by the police officers
-Keep it anonymous and broad in the beginning
-Fix painting bit, as the story goes on, there should be clues where the audience and Maisie are like “omg is it her boyfriend?”

Five Truths Ophelia
Theres a whole flipgrid out there posted but I just wanted to put some of the highlights of my notes here so that I have a physical (or I guess digital) record of what I said so that I don’t have to go onto Flipgrid. OK AWK.
Stanislavski:
-Modern props, cigarette, lamp, wallet, watch
-Desk was relatable, very realistic. All the props on it were placed to make it look like a “slice of life”, as if it were just a normal desk they brought on stage from someone’s house.
-Props had significance, when she took them out, she really visualized them and told a story about each prop with her facial expressions.
Peter Brook:
-ASMR watch ticking LOL
-The space is empty compared to Stanislavski’s. Very minimalist. Every prop you see were only the props necessary to perform the scene.
-The delivery was very different, as if it wasn’t fully realized. She kinda reminded me of a 5 year old.
Brecht:
-Song was so different
-Spoke about herself in the third person. “and then she..” before she sang or spoke
-Makeup style was very different too
Grotowski:
-Very interesting and different start, very powerful.
-The only props she really had were the flowers, there were no theatrical design elements to aid her in her storytelling. It was literally just her and the stage and she had to depend on her ability as an actress to carry the scene.
Artaud:
-Very uncomfortable experience
-It was like a car accident, you shouldn’t be looking but you can’t help it.
-The only sound came from her
