Class 2-9-10

Hey everybody!

Okay, so first i'm going to catch you up all on the film festival I saw at my school last friday. It was a collection of films made my both undergraduate and graduate students. I really enjoyed the film festival and thoroughly enjoyed seeing what my fellow students have been making. There was a large group of films, each very different ranging from documentaries to adaptations to narratives. My favorite film there was probably "Day Labor" which was a touching film about latino Americans who are trying to find work and support their family. I thought it was a very good story but also one that was sad and very close to what really happens. Its message is great and one that does want to make the audience take action and try to fix the conditions that some people in our country have to live in because of discrimination. Overall the film festival was great and I encourage everybody to go to the SDSU film festivals.

And then now I'm gonna talk a little bit about what we did in class today. First off, we did some stretching and warm up exercises, which afterwards I felt very good and much more relaxed and less tense then when I got to class. We also talked about who our scene partners for the first scene of the semester will be and I was paired with my friend Hannah. Professor Cirino then told us he wanted us to do a scene where we would be completely different then what we normally play or come off as, so he said I should do a scene where I am a rough and tough kinda guy. I'm really looking forward to doing a scene like this because I have never really played this kind of character ever so I can not wait to get to play that kind of character. Next he approved and told us which monologue he wants us to do for our first monologue. For me he chose the Nest monologue that I have put up in January. Well I think thats about it for now. You should all come see the Vagina Monologues on the 26th and 27th at 8 pm or on the 28th pm at San Diego State. And I will be doing light board operator for the show, so I hope to see you all there.
