Starting Over

Oh dear...it seems I caught myself just in time. See when I auditioned for Puck I did what I said not to-and already had an almost set character knowing full well I was garanteed that part or Titania. I had the funniest walk down and was looking forward to experimenting with this character's movements and what it could/couldn't do.

However...just because you got the part doesn't mean you should keep it just that way. You got the part because yes, you did great at the auditions but you really got it because the director wants to see what else he can do with it, so be prepared to make some changes as I stated in my last entry.

I have to make many many changes...the funny lil walk I had for this character will NOT work in a clown collar skirt unless we plan to make this some weird goblin porn. Furthermore, I am not even sure anymore of my costume as I obviously (hopefully) will not be wearing a clown collar skirt. I saw one quick drawn sketch only and...well it wasn't much different from what I wore for photoshoot as far as the characters free movement range goes and so forth.

I do hope I'll get to climb a tree though! But what to do about the darn physical personality of Puck? I have it's jokes and pranks down, but that's just a small portion....

So, here is what you do when you're in a rut about finding the characters body:

Nothing :(

There's nothing you can do but practice different styles to show off at rehearsal. This is the time of waiting and thinking. Acting's not really involved :'-(

It is very difficult for me with my excitement to hold back and not just go about developing a character based off assumptions as I am in fact, very good at guess work and improvisation. However, this is the time I lay the script down. There are no rehearsals until the end of this month and there is nothing but memorization I can allow myself to work on. I already have my lines memorized so I'm going to be the grumpy work-a-holic I am when I have nothing to work on.

Or perhaps I'll just divulge in a little play of my own :)

again XD
