it's been a while since i last posted...
great things have been happening outside work, and i am still looking for relevant corporate jobs...this workplace really gets to me whenever i have to complete things by deadlines that just doesn't work. i don't like the us vs. them attitude that splits the firm down to sections, i don't like the fact that the team of people i work with are not really a part of a real team that want to achieve results.
i am happy however at all other aspects of my life.
family and friends time of the year has come and it's great to constantly catch up and hang out etc. wouldn't mind seeing friends a little more since this past month has been a bit busy. but connie's family is here and we've been just chillin' with them a bit.
busy is good. it means i am acting and doing what i love. i auditioned for s+s this year but i don't think i'll get any offers this time around just because i didn't choose a good monologue to do. people tend to like all those emotionally driven pieces which are all fine, it's great, saves time and all, but the idea of choosing a mono to then typecast myself feels slightly odd. wish that the directors would use further audition processes rather than relying on us to work out what kinds of characters they might want. i thought the point of theatre is to create character, tell a story rather than using a mould of a character from some mono, and juxtapose the people together hoping it'll work out.
someone at the audition asked if i was the girl who was in the piece that won best play last year. nop, it wasn't me...but i'm not sure why he wanted to know if i was her. would there be any difference about the way i would then be perceived? (especially that i look nothing like her!)
anyway, filming has been fun. i collected one huge bruise on my left shoulder from staging a faint (at the time it didn't hurt a bit so i am quite surprised it's even there!)
adc - did a show last week and i did ticketing for them. got to see the show.
watched various films which will take too long to comment.
will audition again, and class is back up...i really should study the scene.
