"there she is...towering high...broad and grand...ship of dreams..."
these songs wont get out of my head!!!!!!
and they are all rather desperate and frustratingly morbid...
"no moon no wind nothing to spy things by...no wave no swell no line where sea meets sky"
i noticed that all musicals have like three melodies with slight variations.
and i also noticed that all you have to do to act in a musical is make you eyes wide and look off...leaning slightly foward towards your toes... at the exit sign in the back of the house...
no...
i looove musicals
and i love being in them.
and i dont think that that is all it takes to act in them...
but..
i just was thinking...
hmmm.....
i wanna make a movie about backstage at a rehersal...
today i was siting in rehersal and a whole line of girls were practicing thier lines in a whispers...
and they were all really into it...
(which i am always sooo jealous of... cuz i can never get totally into charecter untill i am safe on stage with no restrictions...)
and they were all...expressions and accents and yeah...
but talking to noone.
next to another girl who was talking and reacting to noone...
i thought that was pretty cinematic.
i wanna film...
but for some reason behind i camera i feel like im killing the spontinaety of the moment...
like if i can replay it then its not as one moment like..
and not as brilliant...
i think that is the filmmakers challenge...
ooo...
i having trouble thinking in straight lines...
i just drank a graanndeee and i have a low cofee toleration level...
my hands are shaky as i type trhis...
okay i need to stop...
ismay: "possibly she wont go down... possibly shell stay afloat...possibly all this will come to end on a positive note..."
andrews "not enless the ship could fly...not enless we all sprout wings...
honestly sir i have built her from scratch and i know certain things..."
ismay: "couldnt you design it right?... whoever heard of steel that rips?."
andrews: "ismay im just in the business of building its god who sinks ships..."
okay i lied...
typing with shaky cafinated fingers is sooo much fun!!!!!1

ReplyDeleteActing plays a pretty big role to musical. But singing an even bigger one. Last year I ran the lightboard in Miss Saigon. I was there pretty much every weekend from 10 till 10 looking at the same stuff over and over again. I could probably still tell you a lot about each scene but anyway. When I was in Leipzig here in Germany I got to see a complete run through of Les Mis by professional actors. What I found interesting is the similarities between the two musicals (which were written by the same person). It was kind of stupid because the writer pretty much changed just a little between the two. They both take place during a war. There are two lovers who are separated by the war. etc.
ReplyDeleteAnyway from what i can tell you are taking part in a musical. What musical is it? and can i see a performance sometime? send me an email if you can with the details.

p.s. two of my cousins are studying dancing singing and acting and probably want to do musical. if you wanted to get in touch with them i could arrange something.
This is such a remarkable blog... and thinking and filming is the perfect name for it!
