working in groups/background check.                         8/9th November 2018.


In our few days back from half term, Ual acting has been hardcore. From rehearing our hearts out to watching a live performance of the amazing Hamilton. Its been a tough few days but overall very fun.

Working with my group at first was very exciting as finally we get to work with other people in our class and see how well we work with each other. I'm in quite a big group so the need and patience to listen to everyone and their ideas is key as learnt from my other group. I was given the script The three sisters which i was very happy about as i was going to have do to my research into the background of the play. i was given Natasha who is the loyal wife to Andre who is a main character but ill talk about Natasha more in another background blog post. So far i'm finding The three sisters very intense as i'm only in the second scene and i'm talking to Andre through the whole thing so that means the energy from beginning to end has to be at high maintenance and we also have to bounce off each-other. So far so good i would say as it's not to hard but as an actor we have to be resilient. I'm slowly learning my lines and still trying to become one with my character as me and Natasha are quite alike as she is bossy and loves to talk which is just like me. I believe that's why sir gave me the role to carry out and make Natasha the best of what she can be made of.

HAMILTON.
Today our class went to go see Hamilton, it was a beautiful moving piece that i understood quite a lot. Hamilton was trying to bring a change to the world and while trying to become a hero destroyed everything good he had in his life due to his selfish needs and obsession to work and work. This caused his sad and early death, that honestly i saw coming as whatever go around comes back around. Personally, i found the story line amazing and moving as the piece is very mixed cultured which i love as it showed diversity and peace within one another. I would go watch it again anytime as i felt part of the peace they brought with them. One thing i didn't know was that they sang throughout the whole play which was very shocking as they where sweating showing the amount of pain and hard work they put in for months to make this. This made me realised being an actor is more than juts acting for a crowd its about acting for yourself and going upon the stage and trying become someone entirely different than yourself. I believe that's the hardest part.

One thing i learnt in these few days is to KEEP PUSHING HARD.
