ok i perceive that ppl don't check back here :b -if- the room booking goes thru, it's 1.30pm at L3 room 2 this sunday 24 aug 08. DY will be talking to us about The Origins of Theatre, which will give you a good overview.
just to recap, here is the list of stuff we were to go thru (ignore the dates heh):
15/6 Performance Basics
22/6 Voice Training
29/6 Elements of Storytelling
6/7 Stories of the Bible
13/7 Interaction and Cooperation onstage and off
27/7 Getting Ideas (plots and characters)
3/8 Getting into Character
10/8 Making a Point: Evangelism and Drama
17/8 review: Videos
24/8 review: Scripts
31/8 Writing Lab/Improv Practice
i think we haven't done the stuff in bold yet. here's the thing: given the lack of time left for leisurely training, we were thinking this is what we'll do in future sessions: actors go with pete, scriptwriters come with me or brainstorm on your own, basically to practise acting/writing separately. any suggestions or ideas let us know!

Skip to my Lou!
This post is specifically to update Lois! (The rest can see also la, but you know this stuff already ma)
First of, how's things over there? Or are you back already? Nvm, everyone say hi to Lois!
Everyone: HI!!!!!!! *Fart*
Right.
Anyways, ya this Aug 31 i've entrusted to two happy volunteers to write the script for: Marilyn and Cristabel (on my phone book, becos i dunno how to spell, her name is "Crystalbell")
Since it's a children's talk, and it's on Teacher's Day, its kinda obvious we should do something on Teacher's Day. So we're waiting for them to come up with some ideas and we'll talk more on Sunday. Like i said, don't need to come up with anything concrete yet, just discuss. But if your on fire and have done so, by all means.
The following are our other dates for Children's Talk:
26-Oct, 30 Nov and 21 Dec.
On other news: Yee Qing and Priscilla has officially joined us as... actors right? Right. So ya.
Oh we also went through homework for the girls team and let me say again, you guys did well, and im proud of ya.
I liked: Your enthusiasm and how you tried to bring out the characters.
Things to work on: Stage awareness (how you move, stand, etc), and voice PROJECTION!!!
Next week is Who Died auditions so don't have meeting, next time is Herman the German and Elijah the Prop's turn to present.
Oh ya, finally, Terence has approached me to put up a skit for the Princess Elizabeth Boys Brigade, and I said yes!!!
... You cool with that? :)
He's gonna give me a date and topic soon, so hold on to your armchairs.
Until then!

back~
wow Pete linked smth!
scriptwriters particularly, check this out as a resource (blueletterbible!)
-parables in the Old and New Testaments
-harmony of the Gospels
-symbols in the Bible and what they mean
-chronology and genealogy aka people and how long they lived
in addition to being useful for context and understanding Bible events if you're dramatising things, they're also fun to read :)
