the evil monkey’s blog

well, i havnt posted something for a while so i thought id do so now coz i have a spare and im bored. yes i probably should be doing drama script or something but ill do that later.

well, this week we are scripting and doing as much as we can and make the most of clarry not being here. yesterday we did the slavery scene which worked well, aaron did the script resonably well. im the white boss yelling at the black slaves because they are playing music but still sing once i leave.

the next scene was kara’s which was the gospel scene where we are in a church and aaron, kara and kendall are praying then start singing “oh happy days” from sister act and they decided i would be jesus in the corner… i like that idea. it then moves on to them singing on tv and jesus turns into a host.

we have a fair bit of work to do over the next few weeks so we are going to knuckle down and be productive.

see you on the flip yo!

last nights performance was awesome!! i loved it how they went from seriousness to comedy then being serious again. i loved the little jokes they put in and every actor/actress played their part well. i took particular notice to the lighting and background used. i noticed when berenger (aka geoffery rush) was walking into heaven or was in the final stages of him dying that the light was only on him. they were the normal lights to start then it started to become brighter as if he was walking into heaven.
i liked the thought of how he cant let go of his power and seems to let go of everything else that seems to be close to him. its as if the power is the most important thing in the world to him, a bit like some leaders today.
the interaction with the audience made us feel like we were a part of the play by walking through the crowd and talking 2 feet in front of us. they also spoke to the audience which i thought was different, but in a good way.
the background was the same all the way through and i couldnt really think about what it meant, so i thought that it might be like the different wars/battles he’s been involved in and they are reminders of what he has done.
all in all it was a great performance and id go see it again. ill give it a 9/10
see you on the flip side
watch out for aarons fart joke!

ive noticed as of late that every rap/r n b song you hear or see it always features someone else. most of the time they say a few lines even just a few words but they always have someone else in them. do these so called “singers” sing their own music or they cant sing and need someone else to make it sound better? i mean its good for a band/group/singer to have a featured artist in a song for something different but its not different anymore, nobody can really sing a song by themselves. its one or 2 genres now, i just hope it doesnt spread like rapid fire to other genres and defeat the purpose of singing their own music.

well thats my thoughts of the week.

see y’all next thursday.
