March hols rehearsals day ONE!!

Venue: Isaac's place.
Attendance: FULL!! X)
Time: 1pm to 6pm.

Ruth met Mattie, at the school bus stop. Took 12, left for Papa's house. Talked about how disgusting algae green is. Arrived at St. Pat's bus stop (almost missed the bus stop), met PAPA. Walked to PAPA's place, very far!! Longer than 2.4km - Ruth complained. PAPA told Ruth to shut up. Mat wanna walk faster. The rain's HEAVY!! Arrived!! =D 18th floor; very high. Ruth scared. Commentary of the ocean view. PAPA went to use the computer to study fits. Ruth and Mattie studied script, lying down. =)

next paragraph.

We all watched people having fits (not live), very entertained, esp PAPA. and then. We did hotseats (VERY HOT CHAIRS!!) X( Recorded some screamings. Unfortunately, PAPA didn't touch the save function on Mat's phone. Oh well. .fullstop. Next time then.

Established identity (ie: Staten Island, New York, USA. Year, 1969.)
PAPA - Waiter 7.30pm - 12mn(wait for people one).
Ruth and Mattie's school - Shelton High.
Age: Ruth 18, Mattie 17, PAPA 48 (very old).
MAMA died in car accident when Ruth was 8 and Mattie, 7. Very sad right. PAPA got into servere depression. Started drinking and generally went mad. We live in a 2 storey bungalow. Nanny is a boarder, who does not pay rent. PAPA supports 3 souls, pity him NOW!! We talked about a lot more, but well. Abit too much to type. We shall redo the hotseat and post the recordings soon!! Please wait patiently.

next. end of hotseat.
Onto Rehearsals!! Wait! We found a picture that resembles what we thought our "house" might be! Inserted in PREVIOUS POST (the one on the left).

p/s. PAPA comp lao3ya2 (cannot make it luh.)

Okokay. Rehearsals.
PAPA voice weird. So started with Scene 2, MATTIE's monologue (very sad right). Did it once, not good. Did it twice, better after comments from the 2 other souls under the roof. Then we moved on to scene 3. No! But firstly, we establish the layout of our house (AGAIN). And we got it wrong, uh huh. How unfortunate. Rehearsed scene 3 some more. The rabbit was WEIRD AND VERY UGLY. Then we did Scene 4! We we we we did the, the, the, pauses, the replies to pauses on Mattie's phone and PAPA did his scene 1 and didn't want to say the word. So I asked, "WHAT WORD?!" Then we replied, "FUCKING?!" X) Then Ruth say "She will kill us!" Then I interrupted, "but it's in our audition script!" Delete previous sentence.

What we need to do better for the script for next rehearsals.
Must put more emotions luh! Practise dramatic (PAPA said, "DRAMATIC TIMINGS" from afar). Practise falling from fits. And MEMORISE LINES (hais) seriously. And then must really familiarize with the layout (ie, where the door is). What else do we need to do better? "let me think.." i added. "Other than this?" Ruth said. "hurhur." PAPA say "Faster! I wanna play badminton!" Ruth say "MUST IMPROVE EVERYTHING!!!" I scared. So Ruth said, "go home and practise luh oi! Don't watch korean drama."

Okay. Next paragraph.

We did the props thingy. Check previous post TOO! =)

Next. We were supposed to do lightings but we need to study the grid in the BB to do that so we will arrange a time to do that. "WHEN?!" ruth interrupted. "PAPA!! WHEN??!?!!!"

PAPA said, "Next week luh walao!"
Ruth said, "next week got time meh!"
PAPA said, "got."
I say, "why not tomorrow since i going BB, i take picture then we discuss the next time we meet during the march hols, preferably sat."
Then Ruth say, "YAY!!! go MATTIE!!"

But Mattie think his camera's flash not bright enough to outshine the darkness in BB. Ruth say, "we do not care." Mattie cries. PAPA whacks him with the badminton racket. HOW EVIL!!! Still waiting to play badminton. "TYPE FASTER!!!!!" Ruth shouted. "VERY FAST LIAO!!!" Mattie screamed. PAPA showed his sinister snigger as usual. =(

We did hotseat, rehearsal, props. We ate curry puff and general cookies (digestives YAY!!! Thanks PAPA's PAPA!!). =)
