Lets hear it from the girl!

Soon, it is. The Tech Week, or should I say,  Hell Week. Tech Week is the week when everything falls in to places. Everything can be still all over the place and people still can't remember their lines, but in tech week, something happens. Especially the night before the show, something magical happens and everything goes well. I call it "the theater magic". 

I have taken some pictures over the rehearsal, but never got the time to upload them online.

For me, this production has been great. I have so minor role so it's not taking too much of my time (all though people who are not used to theater people thinks that it is taking every second of my time:D) and I can really "play" with the role. It is not too serious, and I can make it really stereotypical and it is refreshing. 

Yesterday I remember the hole weird line! I have this line where is just too many ANY:s in a sentence so, it just sounds weird and odd. But yea, I remember it now!!! :)

So the work and all the frustration has been given me something, because now it is starting to flow and the English is not so hard anymore. 

Like I said, everything falls in to places. :)

My point of view usually in the rehearsals

Frustration

I absolutely hate English.

Or I hate that I can't start doing everything like normally I would do, when I start a new production. Because now everything is in English, so first I have to concentrate in the pronunciation and like THINK WHAT THEY ARE REALLY SPEAKING, because no matter how good you are in English there is always a word or two which you don't understand.
And if you do theater in you mother language you don't have to think these kind of things, you only have to think about the context and the thought underneath the line and "does the character really means what she is saying or is she lying".
And then there is the fact that I am really quick personality and because English in not my native language I can't be as quick as I usually am: all the thoughts in your head, first you think them in Finnish and then translate them in your head in English. Aaaaarghhh! It is so frustrating. AND SLOW.

Okay. Sometimes the day is a struggle. Every English word is  hard and even though I have only six lines, I can't remember them as well as I could. But now, six lines and I am having trouble to remember them, how to pronounce them and... Everything is so hard and difficult. Sometimes I just want to go home and cry.
I feel that I am taking everyone elses time because my scene took so long to rehearsal.

But since I am a positive person, I know that I will get the hang of it. It just takes time. Uphills and downhills.
