Today we started reading our new scripted group performances, Almost, Maine, we do not know yet who has which role, just that we will be performing one of the scenes with one other person. We started reading the first scene/story (each scene is a little story by itself, they all have the common theme of love, and they all have something strange, for example the scene we are reading the girl's heart is broken so she carries it around in a paper bag) however we did not finish because we had a short second lesson as it's remembrance day.
The script is a bit funny, with the language and the awkward moments, where the characters just stand around saying "um". The script is also quite weird, using the above example the girl is carrying her heart round in a paper bag. The whole prospect is a bit worrying as well, our character will be chosen for us, and could end up with any character (well, I know that I will play a man, but still...), however it is also a relief because we don't have to pick our character and that will take out a bit of anxiety from the whole process. Also I will have to perform with a strait face, saying these things and with the weirdness of it, it could pose a challenge. I know that the performance time will be fifteen minutes, which is quite a long time.
