HEY BABY! (Drop it to the Floor) - Pitbul

Last weekend

1) Fui al one act play. Vi The Other Side. No me gusto. porque? porque:
a) aunq la idea estaba pajasa me aprecio que pudo ser mejorada de las sieuigentes maneras.
a.1) yo creo que debio haber sido toda una historia y toda la otra. Eso hubiese reducido los tiempos tan largo de cambios de escena que malograban el hilo de la historia.
a.2)Los personajes no tenian character: eran losa ctores mesclados con su personajes de down to earth.
a.3) MAS ENSAYO! hubiese qeudado pajasa.
a.4)espejo, pineda y jordan! caminaban same side.

good things:
a) scene INCREIBLE.
b) concepto del espejo! BUNASO.


LA JAULA DE LAS LOCAS.
el sabado fui a ver las jaulas de las locas lo cual me parecio PAJASA. En una parte estaban en un bar /restaurant como mi independent entonces me ayudo bastante.
a) la mesa...con mesas atras. un farol? ...
b) mejor cubos? o mesa de adeveras?


Pregunta: seria mejor ... scenary de verdad? o ...cubos! PROBLEMS!...veremos.

Hoy me quedo a independent. Ya tengo script (finaly) el lunes comenzamos los ensayos con script. vamos bien ...necesito hurry up. TODO FRESH.

Dj got us falling in love again - Usher

Holler! so today we went to watch the play GOLDEN HAWK which was rather a Cirque Du soleil performance. It was this incredible actions that told the story of bird? maybe? ..don't know. the thing is it as a mute play ..so no words rather than APU -------(quechua word).
Gudshi about play-oh:
1.- The guy-oh was painted blanc-oh. Good! it made me think of my independent project and how it would look to have painted actors on stage. It look kewel...and the thing is a realized personaly i like all the actors painted ( he had his plantadelpiei skin color). Now! why was he white? no idea... but it look cool so ..let him be.

2.- Flying bed! THAT WAS SOOO AWESOME! The images that the play had were great! the light and feathers! ah i liked it so much. Howeever i thought that maybe the same thing could've been used in a differente way (a differn situation for exampl) and it would have worked bettah.

3.-physical work- respiration, oppositions and body control. GUSHI. take that in mind gives strenghts as well as ...awes the audience.

4.- LIGHT-ah .- i tought for the first time that light was good-ah. Blue light = mistehriow. yellow light: ..well normal ligh? ...circle light= MY AMiX! light from above: holy thingy.

BADSHI about PLay:
1.- No words.ah: (noentendeeneemierdah) no words create confusion and makes audince understand the play as they want. Music in the background..didn't like. CHanges were to abrupt.

2.- Second Character: ..why would you use a second character (to create conflict?) if
he does nothing...he just...DOES nothing.

3.-Face: no like face. was to ...Nouba ish. THey reminded me of the four nouba guys of the cirque du soleil.


SO! refleXX(X)ions:
SO as the play went by, many things came up to my mind specially the VISUAL theatre that i like. So i know i say that it is more important the visual than the text. THat doesn't mean that text is not important. ok..so ..this play was Visualy GREAT but with no text and so the main idea wasn't delivered as clear como hubiese sido con texto. NOW.. what i also mean is that it whatever the text is it has to be visualy appealing. FINALLY, when you decide not to use texts and make the audience create it in his heads..the message is lost ..well sometimes and for some people. SO...is there plays that don't have a specific message? is it just ...actions to tell a story..which is not specifi either way?...so what is the diffrence between cirque du soleil and this play?

One less lonely girl - Justino Castor

July Holidays

Buenosdiashpapai. So... we've came back from Paucartambo, but this time i went with the IB nexteles. Interesting points i discovered:
1) IDEALY you shouldn't dance drunk since it is disrespectful and the virgin sees and knows all. so..watch out on that.
2)Practice: they practice only four times (officially) and four (outside paucar) per year...
3) Mask: you can see perfectly with mask (i wore one original one) ok so..it's not like having eyes but i could see better than i expected.
4)negrillos rock
5) costumes: each year you buy a new costume (at leat in majeños) and you do it seperatly (not as a group).
6) if you don't go to the rehearsals then you get 3 typs of punishment: 1) talk 2) written...3)the donald trump "YOU'RE FIRED!".
7) Arianna when sleeps moans, snore and ...throw peds a.k.a Farts

Now, the other interesting thing that was discussed during our Cusco Trip was my I.P. And the point i'm going to reflect on is ... my culture reflected on art. I still don't really get why i can't do the disney princess idea...ok i know its now peru's reality but why is it not mine? I've never seen one but i mean ..i've seen like 120000 times each movie and i like them so much. I KNOW that i'm taking about something that happens in US and i'm not going to see i the streets but listen: hey! I don't want to reflect anything in this play (i know... its not the IB thingy) but personally i see theatre as just a way of entertainment ...going outside your daily rutine remember? ...LET'S TAKE PAUCARTAMBO for example... they adore the virgin 365 days a year however ...they have a special festival once a year...and i don't now lets take for example ...the qollas and the maqtas...ok...they dress up as NOT THEIR REALITY!? so they are not doing it right? not at all...i think that you need to ..focus on the audience then! since there are gringous (world cup, last year it was michael jackson)...BUT ARG..i hate you roberto. (i'm not doing the princess anymore and i'm not working with manuela either...so i need to rebuild my I.P. AGAIN) . I still don't fully agree with all this personal thing culture and stuff....since we are half USAnians...but anyway...

NOW... the question is... when you do a play you focus on the theme? or in the audience? ...what's your aim? to leet you message through? or to entertain the audience? BOTH? ..but then what if you don't really want to teach something ..that just comes along but its not important? ...do AUDIENCE need to RELATE to one in order to be part of the play? or that is just to understand the message? ..and if there is no message? does it because less of a theatre and more of a movie that is just actions in a story? ..... complications complications.

ps: I do get your point by the way..i just don't fully agree with it.

25 best mashup - Dj Earwarm

Ok. SO la play paso. y creo que este proceso tubo un gran final sinembargo ese "PROCESO" fue un, como diria la señorita ari, un oscilar de altas y bajas. Comenzemos analizando wa por wa.

PRODUCTION:

Bueno creo que uno de los MAS GRANDES ERRORES que pasaron por mi mente fue el de termino el script y CHA. taquenopeshwon. fue totlament lo contrario. EL script fue como un basis para toda la obra y luego termino siendo completamente diferentes. La razon mas importante obviamente fue el tiempo. la obra era muy larga (por eso quitamos escenas... remplazandola por la cancion) uhm ... o cosas asi. hubieron otras razones como : no tiene sentido ahora, o ... ala el chiste hubiese sido mejor asi. CREO que eso se debe 1) a que cada uno le mete su propia chispa a la obra. 2) ese era el juego no?. entonces yo creo que mi produccion eventhough el script de la obria termino siendo memory script (ya que los cambiamos nunca loss apunto ni vale ni yo) y que a la gente le gusto puede considerarse como un SCRIPT FAIL.

Ahora si analizo el proceso de production de mis patas en las cuales yo participe como Costumes, Skenary y makeup podria decir que fue masomenos lo mismo. Por ejemplo, arianna tenia un album con las fotos como debian ser... y era todo muy ordenado sinembargo en el ensayo general nos dimos cuenta qeu era muy poco fantasioso. asiq eu yo me insipire en los Kohlas y BIM salio todo una cosa totalemente inesperada. Makeup llego a tal punto de un: chapa el pincel y pintate lo que te de la gana. AUNQUE FUNCIONO...supongo que algo mas pensado y elaborado pudo haber temrinaod mejor. EN Costumes, yo solo forme parte del proceso de la creatividad en verdad yo solo ayude a sebas a dibujar sinembargo el era como el que decia no guta si guta. asi que creo que ahi no me meti tanto. VI COMO EL COLORSKIM QUEDO PAJOLA OCN LOS VILLANOS BUENAXERS. Y skenari...bueno este año creo que si ayude bastante dibujando etc.... y creo que tb termino siendo un concepto paja. PERO ...a la vez fue algo de ultimomento, que el diseño nos permitiera hacerlo MAL no justifica qeu lo hagamos mal verdad?

ACTUACION:
BUENO, yo creo que overall mi actuacion no fue tan geneal como pudo haber sido debido a que:
1) no me sabia mis lineas
2) estaba mas en production que en actuacion
3) creo que me confie mucho.
Aunque creo que cuando tome conciencia de esto comenze a poner mas de mi en las funciones de las que habia puesto al comienzo. Lo que si me di cuenta es de que somos un equipo. al igual que teatro tiene sus production. nosotros como actores somoso iguales. MEDIO que dependemos del otro. si el otro no pone yo no puedo responder. y si yo doy el debe responder....algo asi...una maquina? ...uhm si. A la vez me di cuenta qeu el ritmo que le dan las acciones la hacen ver como una coreografia. LA pelea no era tan diferente a lo que acutabamos. por lo menos yo senti eso.

ENTONCES: con esto nos damos cuenta que si, o BLACK OR WHITE. O PRODUCTION O ACTUACION. cuesta bastante hacer las dos cosas. en eso si tienen razon. AHORA yo tb creo que es una cosa de organizarse. que somos medios que flojos y bueno...17 years...aunq no es excusa pero bueeee.

AHORA ...volviendo al tema de ..maquina y coreografia? es eso? o va mas aya. SUpongo que si se queda ahi es muy vacio. no se si me explico. es algo marcado y sin intencion...o no? ...pero si no tampoco funcionaria...o al darle la intencion cambia. AHORA... a qeu reacciona el actor en la escena!? a lo que pasa? a lo que se dice? o a lo marcado? porque si es a lo que se dice entonces de qeu sirben los ..PIES . para tal caso la improvisasion seria ..MEJOR? ..o no. o simplemente es cuestion de orden. que paja ... odio el teatro.

When I look at you - Miley Cyrus

Friday 4th June

Today we went to watch the play EXTRAS at the Biblioteca Nacional near my crib. Unfortunately for us we went with form II. SHAME ON THEM. they won my "THE LOOK". anyway. Some ideas.
1) The change of characters by the two actors i think was great. The first time i didn't understand what happened but i then catch the idea in no time. Actually i liked it, i think it was great like for example when the other actor hold the others hat. It directly appeals for the audience imagination and attention. Bad thing: sometimes the characters got mixed up. So it was an argentinean talking like a gringa or a guy talking like a girl. But overall i liked it.
2) SCREEN! ..(chupala). marks off for this play. The video in the middle could've been acted or just ...mentioned. no need for the video. (great video btw..)
3) Skenary and Crops. ... the box with wheels wasn't necessary,... nose. didn't like it.
4)The part when they said "OK? OK?" i thought it was brillaint since you where the audience as well as characters and one character whas the acort was well as the audience. Brillaint. I liked that mucho mucho.

SO now, the question: When there is a play where actors change character like clothes. The convention is that there is no character and you are watching the actor change? ...right? I think it makes the play less of a "similar to reality" sort of play because you understand that ... AH! matame. ya me perdi. TOK. but you get the idea right? ..SO, if i change character infront of the audience ..does't that affect the "level of reality" in between the play and does the conection between the audience and the actor is lost since you are watching the actor change. I think it is like the masks huh? ?????

Happy Go-Bday to you - Drama group

Friday 28th May.

Mi cumppleaños niños. Bueno el dia viernes fuimos a ver una obra que se llama Concierto Olvido en Ashkani. La verites es que no me afano tanto como obra, al final todo el mundo se paro a aplaudir pero ..yo creo que (es mi punto de vista personalk ..no fue tan WOW como para pararse). Nevertheless, hubieron cosas BIEN pajuelas que seria rescatables.
1) yo creo que todos agreearan que los sonidosk de la naturaleza fue uno de las cosas mas pajas. y me hizo pensar bastante en GLEE (una actividad en la cual participo) y como estas dos cosas Drama y Glee pueden complementarse para crear algo bien paja. Tambien me di cuenta con esto, que cada actor recurre a su confort zone. me refiero a que Debora Belt siempre usa los sonidos ImaSUmakianos y pajariescos, y la otra amix usaba la oveja "beeeh". ENTONCES ... el actor siempre se basa de sus confort zones? .. nose, siempre veo que rodrigo masomenos actua igual, velantina igual, yo igual .. puede ser. O debora belt uso al viejito...pinguinon.
2) Paucartambo! incluyeron cosas divertidas como los negrillos y otra cosa que me parecio pajasasa fue cuando vistieron al señorito con el terno y se escuchaba la voz del narrador, de la actriz y el susurro de todos los personajes de atras.
3) Colorscheme, funciono bien , sinembargo no me agradan los zapatos. creo que hacen que se vean deformes. Ahora con esto (ya que estaba haciendo mi PPP y queria ver como se veria el fondo negro y vestuario negro ...y yo creo que si funciona. me ayudo a tomar la decision.
4) Mientras la obra pasaba me parecia genial como cada personaje reaccionaba, pero, no parecian personajes isno los mismos actores hablando. facil esa era la intencion de la obra.
5) mientras acuataban estaba pensando en mi IP y ya que voy a usar solo actrices mujeres me di cuenta que debora belt y sus dos amixes (justo de sus costados.. no mike wasawski) era geniales y funcionaban juntas bien. se complementaban, y me parecio genial.
6) en la vida actuamos tanto que para hacer teatro deberiamos dejar de actuar. WIN.
7) no parecia una obra sino ..musica tras musica y cha.

now, BACK TO the comfort zone.... es bueno hacer esto? ..siempre relai en el mismo basis para tus personajes / obra ... yo creo que es algo natural. Si sabemos que esto funciona entonces siempre vamos a tender reaccionar de la misma manera. PERO, que pasaria si lo cambiaramos? ...y como? ...intentando? posibilidades? y a cuantas posibilidades te limita tu confort zone! a matame.

oops....lo escribi en español....bueno es mi cumpleaños, dejenme.

It's My life / Confessions - Glee

Friday 23rd - Saturday 24th

After school, Sebas and I we went to Gamarra to look for "telas" samples for our plays costume. Sebas is in charge of costumes, so, he had already a color scheeme, we just needed to go and ask for prices etc. Luckyly for us, we found telas licradas which was moreorless what we were looking for. There were so many colors, so in the end we took around 40 samples of telas and we paste them on a cartulina to watch them all.

After that, we went to Sebas house to make all the sketches for the costumes. We stayed up all night drawing and coloring, and in the end we made almost all the costumes. There were some that look great such as Nighthawk and arrow, however, there were some that sebas has to change everything (Sparky) or add something (superhereos 1,2 and 3) or change the colors (lievenesses). Doing this i think helped my friend a lot, in the sense of expierence of doing stuff by our own (gamarra) and also in the sense that we are finally working as a team an we know our strengths and weaknesses and we can complement each other with the group. however, i know that i can't do all the work for him and he has to do some himself, and that is exactly whaat happened this weekend. Overall, great job sparky!

The Saturday rehearsal helped me alot in character building, in the sense of how would my character talk, moves and thinks. Now nighthawk is a complete bird, he has no fingers, his arms are wings, and he is like a mistical bird. It reminds me again of Raven, but also of SOMBRA in ppg. And then the "pasada loca" helped us making some cool things such as the "QUICK HIDE!" and the hiding behind the squirrel. I think the play is going to be cool.

Now, I wonder, how much of the adult audience would be entertained by this play? because...we are changing it a LOT making it more and more to a children's play (which is our main aim) BUT, there is not going to be also parents! and those are the ones that chiritsize aren't they. I don't know. I'm really not a big fun of the "SHOULD I BELIEVE THEM? YEESS!" but would it work for both audiences?
