So I guess I can update since like. . .July. -cough-
What, it's only been like 3 months, that's nothing. <<
Well! Where to start! Most of you already know, but for those of you who don't; the reason I've been so damn busy and not updating anything is because I managed to make my college life even busier than last year!
But! This time it's epic!
I WAS CAST AS MERCUTIO IN OUR PRODUCTION OF ROMEO & JULIET!!It's set in 1950s America; where the Capulets are squares and the Montagues are greasers~ Think more of The Outsiders or Crybaby for influence, rather than the typical West Side Story or Grease.
Yeah, it's bad ass. And the best part is how much I am honestly learning being able to be in this production! My director is phenomenal as well, Andy Felt. He's taught me so much since my first acting class with him till now that I can never thank him enough (and it was also his birthday yesterday xP )
On top of that, I am 99% sure I'm going to drop down to a Studio Art Minor and get a BFA in Theatre~ Since studio art doesn't offer any of the classes really that I wanted to take, and graphic design is just. . .an experience. I'm sure the professors are awesome outside of class but some are just asking too much out of a 100 level class. It's pretty ridiculous.
Good news about this is; I only need one or two more classes in art before I have my studio art minor! So I can focus on getting my general education credits out of the way (I only need 16 I think) and take crazy advantage of the awesome theatre classes we're starting to get here. I wish I was coming in as a freshman next year because the newly vamped curriculum is going to be totally awesome for those people who are completely dedicated to the theatre like I am. The starts of it being classes like scenic painting and fight choreography classes...so awesome.
Umm...besides all that it'll be
my 20th Birthday on Monday (10/18)...where did the years go, is my question. >> It's INSANE. I can't believe it.
I'll make more updates on R&J stuff if I have the time~ The show goes up the 29th of October and runs that weekend, then we have four performances during the day for high schools and then we close the show for the weekend of November 5th-7th. I don't perform on Oct. 31st or in two of the four high school performances since those are for the understudies~ But I get to watch, so that's going to be just as fun!
In case you hadn't caught on, all of this work means very little actual artwork from me :/ But as soon as I get some time to myself I want to draw! And I'll try to remember to put up some R&J pictures too perhaps after photo call~
I think that's it for now~ Till later guys!
