Nearly performance day!
Mood: content; a little nauseous
Today: a senior in our class tried to rap a passage about frogs in Mandarin today, with Raymond beatboxing - then vice versa. Another senior recorded it on her camera.
Antigone rehearsal yesterday was hilarious. It was the last rehearsal, since on performance days they don’t have practice after school, so they did an urban-gangster version of it, where everyone acted out their parts differently or changed parts of their lines. For example:
- Ulysses sang his parts like an opera and actually lapsed into one at the end his line
- Erin played a hooker
- Lyla found really thick-rimmed glasses somewhere and said all her lines like an old woman with a really high, accented voice
- Senator became Obi-Wan
- the chorus rapped their lines
- the sentry kept hitting on Creon
- they sang Happy Death Day on Antigone’s death scene
Also, people in the light booth were dumping water on Richard.
