Blighty comes to Tinseltown

Saturday, September 16, 2006

Thursday and (almost) did SR no.6 but we ran out of time. Happens some times. Some people seem to be taking bigger 'swings' with their material which is definitely the way to go not only with these but with anything you're doing! Don't be timid, take a big swing and if you've done your work, understood the meanings and all the moments, you'll have it 'in you' and you'll do a great job. If you don't work on it, generalise the piece, gloss over the meaning and miss even one of the moments, you'll probably miss the point. Do your work! Let the piece sink in over however long you have to prepare it - a day, a week, whatever. Put yourself in the position of someone delivering your piece, the history, the back story, everything, just as the person saying it would be. Only by doing that will you understand what it is and how it should be performed. The more time you give yourself to let it work on you, the less likely you'll be to force your emotions and 'play' your story.
Anyway, back home, out with Uncle J and the monkey and off to the Bev Center for some Panda Express - yummy and then onto Under the Sea. Spent a couple of hours there chatting to random parents, watching a room full of kids having a ball. Fun!
Back home, dins and a movie, Lackawanna Blues, which was excellent.
