Progress 2
I am no actor. This whole blocking thing has been
frustrating. Although I comprehend that it is important, I am still so far
behind with my lines. I also find myself struggling to know how to even read my
lines with all of the prompts in the script added by the translator which seem
to be off. I struggle to pull off lines that I feel like I would never say in
any situation. Clunky translation aside, little by little I am starting to find
my way and hopefully will reach the point when I will be able to do my part
well. Blocking is a chore, but I realize that if we don’t know where we are
going on stage, there might be unforeseen blunders. I do not want to go on
stage and look foolish. Fear is a powerful motivator to trust our director and
get this down.
