First things first- HAPPY FRICKING NEW YEAR- hope you all had a good 'un.
Now many of you may be complaining that I haven't wrote anything in a while. Thats because I had nothing to write about, with my boring job and lack of auditions. BUT NOW I only work saturdays and boy do I have alot going on.
I've had two auditions and two workshops and it's only the first week of january. My First Audition I had was Manchester Met, which I won't go into huge detail about as you can refer back to my first audition post of the school (see Jan 2014). However this time I experianced the weirdest thing yet.to.date.
It was in the audition (to fill you in it's important to know that at Man Met you do your peices in front of a small group who are also auditioning) and the first girl got up. She was doing Constance from King John as her Shakespeare. During the speech she pulled out a chunk of her hair, scattered it on the floor and kept repeating "I'm not mad".
Personally I thought otherwise.
But then for her second peice, the whole monologue was about her and her mates waxing their viginas, and halfway through her pretended to stare at a lazered vigina and grinned.
I was not prepered for that.
The girl next to me was in hysterics, the lady on the pannel was trying so hard to keep her face straight that she looked like a lipless tomato.
So it any of you guys meet a girl called Julia doing a King John speech- brace yourself.
Still yet to hear from that.
I had BSA yesterday- got the rejection letter today 😁. But to be honest I enjoyed the day so much that I'm happy to have the oppotunity to go back there again 😄.
I'm going to reserve a whole post so I can talk about that audition process propperly so you guys know what to prepare.
Also (in other news); I started the Contact Young Company programme yesterday, which was fabulous! If you don't know Contact theatre is a contempary theatre in Manchester and hold a young persons company that you have to audition for, and luckily I got in along with 4 others. I have been told by several people that it is the place to go if you are serious about working in theatre and need experiance, because they treat you like professional actors and there is a high chance to get work out of it.
Also just had a workshop with Ian Smith from the Television Company in Leeds, I won a place via the ideastap website. You had to learn a bit from a play called he's talking by Nicholas Wright. It's a really interesting play and I'm very tempted to use it as part of my audition peices.
Ian Smith I found him very rude but very funny, and I can see that he's great at bringing people out of their shells.
It might lead on to something else but I'm not sure if I'd want to do that.
Got My Royal Conservatoire of Scotland audition next week which I'm very excited for. Then LAMDA after!
Cannot bloody wait.
Adios then,
Got to hop on a train.
Terri :D
