.. I have decided to blend these two weeks together because I have decided to re-do the way I write my blog..this blog will be very structured and very specific..
This is my overview on the two weeks… in both weeks we worked on finally completing the blocking on 100 which was very relieving as all the actors can finally focus on the actual acting and not so much on where they should position themselves or where they should place their bamboo sticks (not that,that isnt important).
We also had production meetings that where very insightful on the other stage crafts which are coming together very well..for example both Josh and Jarod a doing a fabulous job on the audio… the different sounds are enchanting especially how each part of the music has different sounds for the different characters…(french music for Nia and Alex)

Acting

The acting, I believe is a very challenging part for me as I have the job of creating individual characters personalities and histories..
Each history will lengthen every week when I can finely identify the different characters personalities.

First I will start with Phil
Phil is in his late-20’s early 30’s
He still lives with his parent so he can save money for future goals
His job is his life..and kissing ass doesnt bother him
He is social but would rather spend time on the internet at home..wonder why? jk
He hates co-workers that become authorial figures such as Sophie or more so people who challenge his SO CALLED authority.
I believe he may have low-selfesteem issue and thats why he believes he needs to be the “top dog” to get what he wants in life.

Ketus Wife
Her names is Adia pronounced(AH-dee-ah) meaning:a gift its originates from :Hausa Nigeria West Africa
Although Ketu is actually a Hindu name for a boy meaning :Lord Shiva a Hindu god,I decided I wanted an African name because I believed Ketu to be an african tribal man.
She is in her early 20’s, she was married to Ketu at a young age..most likely 17.Her father arranged the marriage but it was a blessing in disguise as Ketu and Adia fell in love.
They have too children..a boy.. Kirat (another name for Lord Shiva) and a girl..Kali (KAH-lee) meaning: energetic.
She is a hard working mother who strives to be apart of the village life..and to raise her children in the safest enviroment possible.
She loves Ketu but finds his obsession with wordly knowledge disturbing because it goes against traditional ways..
She loves her children above all and wants them too be normal..even if it means going against Ketu.

Sophies Mother
Her name is an old english name: Abigial.
In her early years she was renowned for her beauty. Many men adored..but she fell in love with a hard-working man who had a future for her.
She needed security so that is why she married him..sadly he died when Sophie was young due to a cancer.
She is in her early 60’s and loves social events especially when a young bachelor is involved.
Her daughter is her main priority but in her early years she sadly neglected her needs and that is why Sophie is so driven to prove herself to her mother.

Lastly the Elder
The elder is in his late 60’s, he is wise in all his ways and governs his people in the way tradition allows.
He is stern and has a unyielding passion for his village.
I havent really created much of a background for The Elder but I am working on it..

There are also same minor characters I am playing…I hope to work on them soon..
All in all my characters have lives and I hopefully wish to portray them right..

PUBLICITY
publicity is a challenge for me as I have trouble being organised which I am working on..
but I am glad because this helps me to motivate myself… Burak and I do need to discuss the budget which I believe could be around $400 I know that is alot but if you think about posters,advertising, programs etc etc…the cost seems to rise..
Here are just a few examples of cost I have formulated

Kwik Kopy Australia
The price to print your job as specified is $198.00 incl. GST.
This includes,
100 A3 posters
glossy
full colour..this dear is very reasonable for the price.

Here are some logos and designs I have come up with for 100
