As the first week came to an end, I had a very different perception of what these school days are going to be like, in part to Mr. L’s saying so. We were practicing the most tedious little sections of the play, making sure everything happened correctly. Sometimes you lucked out and did not have to do anything, letting you practice your lines, because you probably would have to memorize them for a date coming up anyway. Sometimes it was the opposite, and you had to say the same line or two, or even have to carry chairs off and onto the stage.
Although people may say that an advanced acting intensive is a blow-off intensive, every single member of this class would strongly disagree. These little tasks here and there, acting and teching, and doing so for six hours a day (and the other times for production work and memorization) add up.
With the start of Act II came these ‘hardships,’ and the start of my true acting experience. But I’m still learning to love it nonetheless. My characters have overlaps in character, so it is easy to stay in character, but difficult to remember the correct lines. But this is still the best intensive I've had here by FAR
