BADA updates…….

We were all placed into one of 7 groups for classes.  Each group has about 14 or 15 people in it and is named after a playwright (Chekhov, Ibsen, Pinter, Wilde, etc)….I am in the Kane group (i.e. Sarah Kane - 4.48 Psychosis, Skin, Crave, etc)  Oddly, the name of our group does not reflect the type of work we will be doing.  I am in Kane and we are doing Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters in my Modern class (and since I’m doing Three Sisters in the Fall I might be a little Chekhov-ed out, but this will be really good preparation for the show at AU.)  I’m playing Andrey in Act 3 of Three Sisters and Lopakhin in Act 1 & 2 of Cherry Orchard.

I love my Shakespeare class, and I just got assigned an Iago monologue from Othello.  Very exciting.  And my Voice teacher is phenomenal - we do a lot of awesome workshopping with language and verse.  Heading to my second movement class right now.

Also, I was one of only NINE students (out of 107) to be randomly selected to participate in a Masterclass with John Barton (who is known as the best teacher of Shakespeare in the world).  I need to learn a new sonnet for it.

Gotta run to class now….more to come!
