Pursuits on Performance

"Alack for mercy!"

I am now a member of the cast for Torrey's presentation of "The Tempest". I auditioned last semester and got cast in december and now rehearsal's are fully underway. So from 9-12 every monday, tuesday, and wednesday and am basically in fairy bootcamp. Fairy bootcamp is a very regimented training program meant to turn unassuming college students in creepy, spirits who do the bidding of the sorcerer Prospero. So far, we are basically not used to being in human bodies and use our limbs only in cases of great need. Otherwise, fairies are strange creatures who are half-present in this reality. Sharp head movements and then moments of staring into the black oblivion are normal as are very angular and jerky movements. So basically we spend 3 hours running back and forth in strange manners and jerking our heads around. Eventually the effect should be quite spooky...right now my legs hurt. But it's all for theater and I'm loving it!

Among other things, I am also a co-host on a Biola Radio Show called the Motley Cool. Melissa (my friend down here) started it and is the host joined by Blake, Andrew and myself as her "Motley Cool". We basically talk for an hour each week about current issues and other ideas. Last week was our SUPER show talking about Super Bowl, Super Tuesday, and Super Popular TV shows. This week we are going to talk about Valentine's Day and what the meaning of love is on our society and what it should be. So if you have a free moment on Thursday nights at 9, stop by biolaradio.com and give our show a listen!!

Praying you are all doing well!
