Lights, Camera... Not so Much Action.

Mereu finally gave the Theatracks "The Talk." 
 
Coming up on 21 days of rehearsal before the show, the Theatracks were finally sat down and given the talk to get them in the zone of becoming serious about their work. (Farias also gave my AP English class this talk.)

As mentioned in a previous post, some of the Theatracks haven't exactly been up to performance standard. Well, maybe that's the wrong way to put it. Many of the students have been putting tricks together, and most of them are already preforming their tricks (or what they have of their tricks) for other students. But there are some students, including myself, who haven't been working as hard as we could be. 

And Mereu had finally had enough.

Telling the theatracks to either start working on their acts, be it learning a new trick or starting from scratch,  or to please find another place to spend their freetime, I've already seen a difference in the work ethic of the theatracks. 

Everyone who decided to stay is now working on something new.

The members that had their basics down are starting to put together full acts. Mickayla atarted putting moves to music, as well as Maddy and Lexi, and Jackson started putting actions to his acts.

Many of the members who weren't doing much have started something as well.

Bella is working on blocking her script to her act, Chase started a small disappearing act, Hunter and Luis on a comedy act, and Autumn with juggling. Even me. I've been tossing the idea around of working with readings, and I've finally started taking the steps to learn it. 

There is still some time where the theatracks can sit and mess around, and while we work somethings stand out like mickayla saying this;

"If I were a personality type, I'd be extra virgin." Mickyala Clue. October 27, 2014. Her thoughts on personatily types.
 
I have to say that from my last post referring to this issue, Newbies, I've seen a huge difference in the Theatracks. It's beginning to feel like a family again.

  1. I sound Brilliant. *Much implied sarcasm* but luckily for me, you do actually sound brilliant in your writing. Can't wait for the show.

  2. "The talk" can be a powerful thing if used sparingly and timed correctly.

  3. I've had the same problem with the other dancers at my studio for the Nutcracker. I'm glad that the Theatracks has finally gotten focused. I think that the looming performance is finally setting in for the other girls at my studio, too. I'm really excited for the magic show.

  4. This is so true. I've noticed that they have begun to rustle a bit more but seen to be fearful now.
