Yesterday, The Broken Heart Youth Theatre came once again for the sequel to do a workshop. We did warm-up exercises, listening exercises and talked about the skills of acting and exercises that enhances those skills. We also did improvisation exercises. I worked with Katie Miller with that and we staged our scenario on the street and she was playing a charity worker and I was just a member of the public, my job as an actor was think of different personalities, characteristics like James McAvoy from Split and the upcoming Glass. Trailer is below. Just like the movie, I wanted us to go up to 24 but I we only did 8.
1. A normal person
2. A 6 year old boy
3. A drunkard
4. An insane anti-sociopath
5. A robber
6. A psychic fortune teller
7. An old lady
8. A crazily blind fanboy
Unfortunately, I missed a whole hour of the workshop because of my ALS session.
When I came back, we started learning how to write a script. I worked with Teigan Kalekezi on this. Obviously, when we come back from Christmas, there's two of us, so we have to act it out. It's a duologue/soliloquy. We based it as a coming-of-age/slice-of-life type of scene where our two characters: Zoey and Lucky, talk about age and society and how it's affecting them and how it could everyone and everything else around them and how age and society are a good combo and how they are relevant to each other. There were working titles: Influence, The Edge of Eighteen, S**t Don't Stop & S**t Happens.
It was a great experience and I look forward to seeing you again in January 2019. Same goes to Rob, Sharon and pretty much everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let the games begin or should I say let the holidays begin. 2019, here we come.
