alt_daphneWell we've almost come up on our second completed week of rehearsals, and I just wanted to say, on behalf of myself, Mr Krumgold, and Professor Carpenter, that we're so very impressed with how dedicated the cast and crew are, particularly in light of a rather busy term here at Hogwarts.
(And no, Mr Krumgold really didn't mean to yell atJugson certain persons for taking too long to come back from the loo, he's just really very particular about keeping to the schedule that he's drawn out for the afternoon)
In light of everyone's solid good work, I have decided that I will award a weekly "super star" to the actor, actress, and/or crew member who's done the most outstanding job in rehearsals, whether that be by showing excellent dedication, exceptional talent, or impressive improvements.It'll help me to meet the public post quota
For this week's award, I'd like to congratulate Samantha and Lizzie for already having memorised their entire routine. Girls, I already gave instructions to a castle elf to deliver both of you a little star-shaped tin of toffees that I ordered in my weekly hamper from New London. Bon Appetit!

Well, all of Shakespeare makes excellent use of the concept, but I think Much Ado About Nothing gives the sort of example that Gerald envisions, as evidenced by the characters of Beatrice and Benedick.
I suppose I can just give it to you in the Great Hall tomorrow, unless you think you'd want to start reading it tonight.

soon efine.And what do you mean you noticed I'm up to something?
Seriously. If you wouldn't try dragging me around on the turns. I'm the one that's meant to be leading, yeah?
Re: Private message to Ron Weasley
Date: 2013-01-17 04:05 am (UTC)I mean the silly faces you pull, and the way you sort of mince around when we dance. That's why I've got to lead, to remind you to stop mucking about.
And you do just fine when we've rehearsed alone, so I don't know why you can't be the same way during the group rehearsals. Or are you one of those boys who doesn't want other people to know that he's actually got talent at something like dance?
Re: Private message to Ron Weasley
Date: 2013-01-17 04:24 am (UTC)You're over-thinking the rest of it. I mean 'one of those boys'? Seriously, I'm just an ordinary bloke. With a bit of a bossy dance partner.

Date: 2013-01-17 05:00 am (UTC)I'm not. I think you're an ace dancer, actually.
And you're good at teaching it. When it's not rehearsal. Only, when it is, you're... well, you get all serious.
I didn't mean-
Don't mind me.
Re: Private message to Ron Weasley
Date: 2013-01-17 05:04 am (UTC)Or - fine.
If I say that I will be less serious, do you think you could be a little moreso?
Re: Private message to Ron Weasley
Date: 2013-01-17 05:14 am (UTC)I mean, it's not like I'm being completely dafYeah, okay.

Date: 2013-01-17 06:13 am (UTC)I mean, by and large I trust Gerald when it comes to his opinion on all things theatre, but I don't always know if I agree with his theories about 'method acting' and life imitating art (or art imitating life, as it were). He says that I would be too 'familiar' with Blaise or Draco as the lead, and that he wanted the feeling of strangers who had an unspoken - well, it was an entirely too long-winded explanation, but I was hoping that once rehearsals started, everything he said would fall into place and make sense to me, and it hasn't yet. It's like Weasley is two different people; he's fine when we're working one-on-one. He seems to try really hard, in fact. But then when we're in a group he wants to cut up and have fun and make everyone have a laugh.
Imagine if I went out for his quidditch team and was really ace on a broom, but I showed up to the practices and faffed off doing whirly-whatsits in the air! Mercy me, I'd be hanged from the Whomping Willow, I think.
Anyway, I'm up too late by now. Enjoy the toffees!
