Even though I stayed home today, I tried doing as much as could for theater. I continued reading A Streetcar Named Desire. I am almost done with scene one. I hate that I had to miss today because today is my minor day, which is film. I would have gotten to start my editing for my "Truth" teaser. Hopefully I will get to work on it during Friday's class, which is a main stage day, and I will stay after school if I don't get it done in class.

I continued reading A Streetcar Named Desire while I was home sick today. When I picked up from where I left off, Stella began telling Blanche about Stanley. Stella warns Blanche to not compare him to the type of men they went out with when they lived at home, because Stanley is very different. She explains how she goes crazy and cries when he is away. After this, Blanche confesses to Stella that she has resentment toward her because she left, leaving Blanche at Belle Reve to fight and bleed for it. This confuses Stella, because she had no idea what was going on while she was gone. Blanche tells Stella that she lost it because it was too expensive.

Today was our theater history day, and we continued talking about the different art movements of the 19th century. Instead of contributing to the slide, the class agreed that we would prefer a lecture, so we sort of did a mixture of both. We made a timeline of all the art movements, then one by one we found clear definitions of them. Once we had a clear definition, we had a small lecture on each of them, and we talked about them until we fully understood them. I honestly liked the the method that we used today, because it was the first day that each art movement really stuck into my head, probably because I have a clear definition of each.

Today I continued to read A Streetcar Named Desire. I picked up from where I last left off, which was when Blanche was telling her sister that she had not been fired from her job, but her boss had told her to take a leave of absence. From this, she seems to quickly change the subject. She begins to criticize Stella about her weight, and how she does not have a maid. Stella tells her that because she only has two rooms, so there is no need for a maid. Stella shows Blanche where she will be staying, and Blanche begins drop hints that she can tell she is not wanted, and that Stella probably hopes she will go to a hotel. She also says how she can't do that because she isn't well. Stella brings up that she seems a little bit nervous. Right after she says this, Blanche changes the subject abruptly once again and asks if she thinks Stanley will like her.

I honestly don't deserve the 100 today. I didn't know that even though I wasn't required to be called, if I was planning on staying I have to be at the school at call time which is 4:30. Also, to get credit for staying after, I have to stay until the whole rehearsal is over. Now I know exactly what I need to be doing when I stay after. Besides all of that, I did get the footage for my next teaser done. Hopefully i'll get to work on it on Wednesday.

Today was Monday, which meant it was our main stage day. I teched for the first time in a while, because every main stage day we have had I was working on film. I helped Miguel and Robbie measure the dimensions of the set, and then marked the stage with tape. The measurements involved a lot of fractions, and math isn't my best subject what so ever, but I did catch on to the measurements after a while. I don't plan on becoming a tech, but I'm glad I do know how to do it if it ever needs to be done.

Today we did another theater history lesson. Brett and I did a lot of research on Absurd-ism, which is a philosophy based on the argument that the universe is irrational and meaningless. To put into simpler terms, it is the thought that nothing has a true meaning behind it, not everything happens for a reason. Martin Esslin describes it as "the inveitable devaluation of ideals of purity and purpose."
