UNSEX THE PAGAN WHISPERS

Death Week

El nina carro nos lleva.... esta semana moriremos :D

Directing the play I found my limitations, my difficulties, my fails. This, as a learning experience to know more about how theatre works. The "common sense"directing basics, such as:

- No upstaging

- Pronunciation / volume / speak slowly / intonation

- No monologues (unless making it work)

- Counter scene

- Awkward time

- There always has to be something happening on stage

- Not cinema. Other possibilities

- Actions and reactions

- Transitions

are not easy to combine. 

This week is the last chance to apply it all... 3 more rehearsals and thursday we have the premier.
There is where I will be able to reflect about the whole process.

I don't know if people are going to enjoy it as much as last year's play.

I find it difficult to reflect on what I'm doing as a director right now while directing.

Why?
(maybe because I don't really know if im doing it right o wrong and I wil not until it finishes)

I'm probably doing it wrong.

What can I learn from doing it wrong?

Chasing, upside down, what is beneath

Directing sucks if you are not mean enough to forget people have emotions...

Discharge the rage on the weak


That is my blog for directing. Nothing else to say.

The furthermore would be redundant, duff.




Here is a fun quote to change the topic of this blog:
"I'm thinking of imagining" - Kevin Thompson

In the shadows, something creeps

the power, the reign

On the stage, the life takes identity

take control, unleash the spade

The domain behind one's mask

Pull your face out

restrain the heart from leaping

Breathe in, Breathe out

Is this only what I see?

May the reflection copy the shape

Creeping unceasingly
It sprouts a wonder
A rustling

When a shadow replaces,

Does the other exchange places?
