Medea
Hooray for my first (and probably only) Greek tragedy, the one where I could audience-view via the camera in the annex, get teary-eyed backstage as Medea breaks down, and meet crazy cast members / friends.
In all honesty, I didn't expect professional people like Mr P and Mrs Prry to have such positive comments about the role of tutor. Nor did I anticipate how tough it would be to keep the positivity, especially after getting teary backstage all the time. I really had to feed off the memories of happy thoughts, just so I could create a contrast between myself and everyone else. Never again shall I underestimate the difficulty in the fool of the play. I had no catharsis at the end, and so had to be content with crying before the productions. (: Sounds quite pathetic.
But now it's over; post-production blues are settling in, but nothing as serious as choir / dance concerts though. Although I did have the huge urge to shout out medea's lines this morning, which I did with such relish.
And while watching Oprah today I had the luxury of glancing over at the pretty bouquet that sumae & tanneh gave, 3 pink roses for us! My happiest bouquet definitely, although my sis's friend caleb's one is a close second, spoilt only because he gave her flowers too, and she didn't even act.
Ministry rehearsal today at suntec ballroom. More acting...
