Here's London Bridge, My Fair...

          Einstein said that the world would never lose it's energy. The energy that has been here since the beginning of time has stayed up to this day and is still here. So, when actors and theatre actors create energy up on the stage or in front of a camera, does it mean that they themselves are creating energy? Like really, does the energy that we as actors create go away to the audience and do those audience members carry it away?

          It's like a big energy factory if you think about it. We generate feelings, emotions, bring out the deepest feelings inside people and make them into people that they themselves hadn't even thought of becoming for their whole lives. We change people, in a way that's beautiful, because all we gain out of it is their love and support. Well, that's considering if what we make isn't 'deadly.' We as actors and directors know that we must create energy between ourselves and the audience to actually make them feel a certain way. No matter how dull your character is, no matter how boring they are, you can still always generate that feeling of sadness, happiness, love, lust and anything you can think of, only if you show your energy. What's the use of a factory worker, if they don't turn the generators for the energy to pass through? Well, that's why we need to create that synergy to let the energy pass form us to the audience right? Oh yeah.. I think that's it. Synergy being that bridge from us to the audience. Slowly building itself from the stage to the audience from the beginning of a show to the end of it. Inch by inch, brick by brick, slowly and steadily. It's a matter of how we keep that synergy up, that determines whether or not that bridge collapses or not. Don't let it collapse.

The kids on Thursday evening, were stupendous in my eyes. I blame the writer of the script, for making the show into a history lesson with music in it. Hey, I'm not going to lie here. I'm sorry if i'm being too critical but really, it got me angry seeing how the kids were putting so much energy and effort into what they were doing, yet the written script of the show was just so dull. The kids were so free up on the stage, and didn't at all think twice about their lines. They just jumped straight into it with no fear at all. Somebody like me, a wimp, wouldn't be able to be as fearless as the kids up on the stage that night. I think the more innocent a person is, the more fearless they are up on stage. Think about it, what would an innocent person have to hide up on stage compared to a person with far more deeper secrets? Maybe i'm just talking gibberish but, it's my take on it.

I loved the lighting effects on the stage that day, it was so calm at times, and then all crazy at other times. The dances and songs that the kids had for the play was fantastic! I really loved their smiling faces while dancing. All their innocent faces put a smile on my face. I felt like a toothless tiger looking at a whole flock of rabbits jumping around laughing. The tiger having done so many bad things in it's life, while the rabbits have nothing to hide. I've gotta start being more open on stage. Haha.


The IBTA Year 2 group was fantastic as well. Especially knowing that they had made the play themselves from scratch is mind-blowing. I loved what they had done with the costumes and how everybody was just so entrenched with their character. I loved the videos that had been put up and the 9  Indian blocks that contained different emotions. The whole play was just so surreal and lovely. I really loved the sounds and things that the different characters were saying. It really showed how art has such a big impact on this world. It's constantly turning into new things, being turned into things that have already been used yet renewed and so many other things. Like playdoh :D

Ahhh.. This was a fun blogpost to write. Thank you!
