GBH Unplugged Reflection:
I haven't done many performances with GBH thus far, but out of the others I've done, this one required the most effort and work. Not only did I write and direct my piece, I also had to perform in it. Keep in mind, After last years mainstage, I devoted I would never act again. Little did I know what the next year held for me. My directing fellowship ends in 2014, but I am a company member of GBH until i'm 21, which means it is encouraged to perform.
I'm getting off topic here, but anyway, Performing means that I was once again faced with one of my biggest issues: My stage awkwardness. During our blocking rehearsal, I had to work with the fact that I have a very hard time looking natural on stage. What made this experience easier is that all of my pieces were real life examples of mine, so I wasn't playing a part. All I had to do was be Bri. However, i'm not even totally sure what that means yet.
I was faced with an issue 2 hours before the performance. The director decided it would be best to cut the entire first page of my script, which threw me as well as the other actors in my piece a little off. I wasn't expecting it last minute, mostly because my writing/casting process had been strictly me, however everything did work out in the end and there were no forgotten or misplaced lines.
I know that I need to find a new blog assignment now because the Girl Be Heard season is over. I will resume again at the end of January, which is also the end of the marking period. I wont have any performances to work for, so I will spend next week trying to find something new to work on.
