hello hello hello
Class with Jerry on Friday was lovely. I really like these character questions from Ms. Hagen. This whole conservatory thing has been my first experience in learning the different techniques in acting and so far I'm really enjoying it! Although on Friday, I wish with Jerry we would have been able to get up and do something. I felt like we were sitting there for a while. But I loved the stories he told. The one about the Christmas tree prop, and the one about Uta's dog strolling up onto stage! He sounded like that was all a really great experience for him. But anyway, here are my questions and answers. I don't know if I picked the right scene for Touchstone, but this is what I got:1. Who am I?
I am a bright & witty man. I won't take crap from anyone, but I speak my mind openly to everyone I meet. I like showing off my clever charm, and I find myself to be pretty hilarious at times. I'm a chill guy and will go with the flow, but I have a definite opinion on everything. I'm an observer and am quick to make fun of all the little strange parts of life.
2. What time is it?
It is getting close to the evening of another scorching summer day. Who knows the actual time is? There are no clocks in the forest. But I would guess it to be around 8 because it's starting to get a bit darker.
3. Where am I?
I am in that favorite little clearing of ours. The one with the nice cool rock and the assorted (but mostly yellow) flowers. This is where I first met Audrey (and her goats). It's a good place to try and relax after a tiring day.
4. What surrounds me?
Cool breezes are starting to wisp past. Leaves on various trees and bushes rustle around. The sky is staring to look dusky. But, really, who cares? I mean, all I care to see is the dusty path I'm trying to drag Audrey along to get her home.
5. What are the given circumstances?
Audrey and I just met with Sir Oliver Martex (the vicar of the next village) and he turned out to be a total drunk loser. Audrey and I will not be married by that offensive, vile man. And now, on top of it all, I find out someone in the forest is trying to get with my lady. No way, man. No way.
6. What is my relationship (to the surroundings)?
Since this is the place Audrey and I first met, it does have some slight sentimental value. Also I know this clearing. This is my turf, my home court. I have lounged and contemplated the world many a times on that rock. It's just a very comfortable place for me to be in.
7. What do you want?
I want to kill this man. He needs to leave, and I need to make it clear that he won't ever be coming back as long as I'm here.
8. What's in the way?
Isn't he the wrestler? I mean, I'm good with words, but not so much with the whole muscle thing. This guy's got the whole strength and stature thing going for him. I don't want this guy to come at me!
9. How do I get it?
If I make my words intimidating enough I can make myself seem bigger than I really am.
10. How will I know when I've got what I want?
I know I've got what I want when the loser is gone and Audrey and I can be married in peace.
+ Jackie
