so viewers, it has been quite a while, thanks to this newfangled technology.. so ill just copy down everything that ive written the old fashioned way.. you know.. with a pen and paper.. ancient stuff..
weeks 9 and 10.. maskwork.
maskwork was probably one of my weak point in being able to keep charactet -as the masks were quite stuffy - claustrophobia! - and there were a few moments of freaking out which obviously meant going out of character.
i actually got annoyed at myself for freaking out - i wanted to experience this wierd world properly but really, was unable to do so. however, the general effect of the mask made me feel alien - having to focus on my movement as opposed to facial expressions. i still felt myself making faces behind the mask! but i was aware of my body to a greater extent. every movement made was made for a reason, and i think that was the point that ms mace was trying to get across?!
this body work led to ideas for our group production.. which shall be continued in the next post..
xx

loving your honesty. It is an amazing feeling when you can succome to it. That sounds terrible and haunting.
It is great that you can still see the potential for the learning.
