urrrmm.. last 4th quarter of my junior year, i decided to join a stage play (it's actually my first time) to experience the thrill being in a show. But actually i should have been in the last year's stage play but i quitted, because i'm so shy then.. 'til now! LOL! And i just mind-setted myself to feel a little bit shameless more of the time. LOL! This year's stage play doesn't required auditions, so i'm so thankful. hahaha! that's because the group is pretty small than the other stage plays, so the director don't think of holding an audition 'cause the group might become much fewer. AND perhaps i already stated my experiences from the workshops from my recent blog posts. (just check them out na lang) Never think that i am an actor here. LOL! actually i'm an extra here, i'm a japanese soldier, but no lines. LOL! and i'm in the production side.. dancing!

Last March 1-2-3, 2007 - 'Quadro-Quadrado by Erik Pablo' was finally presented on the stage for everyone to see. Quadro-Quadrado is a story of two women defying their fate.. in two different snap shots of time.. in the same frame of an ancestral house. And it is the first time that 'Teatrong Busko' has shown a heavy drama and less comedy stage play. They usually make comedy, teen-inspried, and LESS DRAMA production. lol. And this it's different, because the cast should really focus and can't just do adlib everytime they fail a line from the script. And also it's so effective, because i, myself, get teary-eyed everytime we have a run of the show. hehehe.

So it's in a World War II setting, wherein the japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. And we're like wearing rich clothing, like 1930's tango. (those were taken from the backstage)





It's really an amazing but haggardous experience, because:

*the workshops always end much like 7-8 pm.
*and much gotten later to 11-12 md when there's only few days left before the show itself.
*at the workshop, i should really feel so shameless on my side everytime we have workshops.
*sometimes workshops are easy for me, especially if it's dancing, 'cause i'm in a dance troupe and i love to dance.
*the costumes, you need to find a late 1930's tango-inspired costume, and it's quite hard 'cause you don't have idea where to get or hire one.
*on my side, i'm not so interactive, that's why sir erik pablo once asked of why i thought of joining a stage play and i'm too shy for it. I'm having a hard time, especially when my friend was placed to be the assistant stage manager instead, because he doesn't really can't dance. So every session, there's no one i can talk to.. hahaha! i coped on it naman. c:


*ADVANTAGE? [1]you can earn friends, like no doubt. [2]i became a little bit interactive, LOL! [3]you'll become fit, in every dance workshop, you'll really sweat-up and loss fat, like i did i really become so fit. [4]enhances your dancing skill.. that's it, i guess..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*and most of all, the really hard thing that you will coped up with, is - 'the last and final run of the show', it is the saddest of them all, where actually on the 'curtain call' where all of the cast would take a bow on every ending of the show. 'I CRIED', yes i cried, i'm the only one crying and they're like comforting me.. LOL! i'm touched, of course i'm gonna miss everything!! everyone!!. You'll gonna miss the workshops, the backstage, the setting of the stage, the tension at the backstage. everything!.. up until now, a month and 3 day had already passed, i still missed it.. WWAAAAAHHHH!!!! XD
