Content and Context

i am so excited about the addition of Addam to our community. After hearing the whole group sing and each of the principles singing their songs, i have no doubt in my mind we are going to rock the stage. Such strong vocals, Such conviction, Such community.


I feel like i learned a lot tonight.
and i think Jessi highly underestimates how much i respect his creative vision right now.
i have never had what happened to me tonight at practice happen to me before in another show i have been a part of.
“what do you live in?”
“what’s inside that?”
“what street do you live on?”
“what are you doing right now”
“WHAT DAY IS IT?”
“do you have power right now?”
these are questions Addam and I were asked while READING through a couple of our scenes.
i found myself still asking question after jessi had moved on to the two woman only recognizable as maureen and joanne yelling at each other outside on the sidewalk in front of our practice space.
the attitude.
the bitchiness .
true devotion and true hatred both at the same time.
it was beautiful to hear them on the verge of scream at each other as they came up the stairs.
to see that it was only merrisha and sara


i didnt think i could find more meaning in the words i have been living in for the past week, but i found it.
i gained character depth,
i gain some helpful insights on the background of my character.
i gained an excitement i have not felt in a long time.


then i hear matt and brandon singing in the other room
my heart melts.


i hear victoria going out tonight
i feel it,
its there,
we got this.


i hope you all are as excited as i am about this, although sometimes i may not REALLY burst out in excitement, my heart has every intention.


but for now it all comes down to Content and Context
lets steady ourselves
focus in.
