Hello internet! Or just Chase, whoever reads this. This is the first post on my new blog for my Senior Capstone class. I suppose we're blogging once a week to keep tabs on our thoughts as we approach the end of our time in college. Documenting our process of finding auditions or internships or finding the right grad school program for us will be invaluable to us. We can jot ideas down here so we don't forget about them, and so that there's a certain amount of accountability held by you and the internet at large.
Today we had this really great conversation in BFA about our standard rep auditions, and about how we have to have a really stark contrast to whatever pieces we choose to work on. In BFA yesterday with Tom we all had a fantastic time choosing songs to pair with monologues (sorry for the noise level, Chase, we swear we weren't trying to disrupt your Lit Theory seminar!), and I think it was really refreshing for the three of us to realize how fun it can be to prepare audition material. As a whole, I know I've been struggling to find monologues, or maybe I was just blinded by my own laziness, because when I actually applied myself to it, it turned out to be really easy to find sources of audition material. It got me so excited to start this school year when I realized just how wrong I was about it, but it also in turn frustrated me that my whole outlook on finding monologues wasn't altered before my senior year of college. It would have made the past three years so much easier. Better late than never, I suppose xD
I'm not sure what else to talk about, and honestly, I might end up using this blog more than once a week. I have a feeling this year is going to be about really finding myself and my voice and getting the courage to present my true self to everyone I know and will know in the future. I'm probably going to want to document my discoveries throughout this school year.
