Awesome! Acting! TALENT!!!
Jan. 4th, 2007 11:47 pmKate, my Principles of Realism teacher, said I've nailed the character of Tom in The Glass Menagerie. Her advice is basically to just keep doing what I'm doing. This is damn encouraging, but I still don't know if it means I'm going to graduate.
Here's the thing about Studio: if the teacher doesn't pass you, you can't advance to the higher levels. And the word is that many students don't end up passing at all. If you don't pass, you have to take Principles again. And again and again until it's deemed that you are good enough to pass. The fact that there are four Principles classes (the prerequisite) and only two Character and Emotion (the next step up), says it all right there, doesn't it?
Lord knows if I'm going to pass. On one hand, Kate's impressed with what we've done. She chose this scene at the last minute, and I like to think that the fact that she chose such a hard fucking scene for us speaks for her confidence in us, my partner and I. But on the other hand, Studio is a cruel mistress, so who the hell knows?
My plan is this: if I do pass, you betcher arse I'm taking Character and Emotion. But if I don't pass, there's no way in hell I'm talking Principles again. No way in fucking hell. I'm going straight to Shakespeare Theatre's classes in that case. I want to take a class with Floyd King and Andrew Long, damn it!
Studio's offering a full-blown Alexander Technique class and also an Alexander Technique workshop, which would only meet a couple of times. I'm not sure which of those I should take.
I suppose I really should start auditioning again. I really wish I had an agent or someone in the know to point me to projects and say, "Hey, you should try out for that."
