Three rehearsals and then the show. The nerves are overwhelming! Tensions are high. I have complete confidence in our show but we are going in to the lion's den rehearsal tomorrow which means any changes that are going to be made are going to happen tomorrow and then the show can't be touched again. I feel like some things might be dropped but then again a whole bunch of things might be added. I've picked up the diablo again and the ceiling is ruining my plans on making it work. I got used to tossing it too high!
I'll let you (non readers since no one but myself reads this!) know how the lion's den rehearsal goes.

WEEK OF SHOW
So it's the week of the show and OH BOY IT'S STRESSFUL! It's crunch time and a few of us are starting to crack under the pressure. My energy is up but that's because some new things have happened and well let's just say I'm happy, it's interfereing just a smidge with ONE of my acts but we're working on it. I'll just have to step up my acting skills.
Logan is getting sick, ok, not getting sick he IS sick. He's a "warrior" so he hates medicine and basically refuses to take it so I don't know how to make him better. All my mom insticts are screaming SAVE YOUR CHILD! But Logan is screaming I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF! I just feel terrible that he feels terrible. But we shall see what happens
We're pulling rehearsals every day this week until the show. So much is going on it's hectic. But I'm still completely confident that the show is going to light up everyone's day it's just such a fun show that people can't help but enjoy themselves.
Until my next post, keep your noses red.

Just this one time
Hey guys!
So we're starting full run-through rehearsals which is exciting. I'm really excited about the show, looking at all the acts finally coming together, it just looks awesome. I'm really starting to get my character I think. Tucker and I are doing really well with our improv and bouncing off each other. I'm getting better at hating Cassy on stage which is funny considering everything else that is going on right now. Anyways! The costume are supposed to be started today (Wednesday) but I have no material yet! I'm not worried though, I'm pretty sure the costumes are gonna be awesome.
There's not really too much more to say, just really excited about everything that's happening right now. I mean I feel a bit rushed with our school musical coming up and then the circus vera show and another one really close, and just work, and the school workload and other awesome things on top of that. Just a lot of things all smashing together. But I'm excited and so happy right now I think that's helping my energy and development of my clown character.
Hope to see you all at a show this summer!

Hoppy Clown Days
Hey guys!
So I'm on my Easter weekend break right now. Not doing too much clowning but I AM trying to master the art of Diablo. It's so much harder than it looks. I'm getting a lot better at throwing it and catching it. I've found (for the most part) it's easier to catch it the higher you throw. So we'll see, but so far the only trick I can do is throwing it in the air, I need to figure out how to do everything else. Youtube is gonna be my new best friend until I can figure these out!
Not really too much else to let you know about. Just a side note for you guys I just heard a whole lot of music from "tales From the Bad Years". It's so good! I fell in love with it instantly. It's really cute too you should check it out on yourtube if you get a chance, try um... 'pretty girl blues", or "not her way" OR! "Just this one time". good stuff I'm telling you.
Oh! the costumes are coming to a rush to get them done for the show. I still haven't fully taken in that this is really going to happen. I mean I'm way excited and I'm taking it seriously but the whole summer tour and stuff hasn't sunk in yet. We'll see where this crazy rolelrcoaster ride takes me.
until next time,

First day of Clowning
Hey everyone! Just figured I'd set up my own blogsite to give you the inside scoop on what's going on with the Meeshosters in the world of Vera. By the way you can see what's going on with the rest of the cast at Circusvera.blogspot.com
Anyways. Huge rehearsal last night. the rehearsal itself was a huge success for the overall group but it seemed like I was having an off night I suppose. I think I just need to develope my character more and figure out how to hit my bottom levels. Of the three levels I have mastered the "over-the-cave" level but I jsut can't hit my middle as well, I get it but it's a struggle to get there and my bottom level is basically non-existant. I don't know, I'm going to keep working with it but I jsut have no creative ways to get to the bottom levels. There are jsut some days when I get discouraged with the circus but I suck it up and put on my clown face and get through it.
I'm really proud of Tucker though he's really stepping it up now that he's established an actual character for his clown. His character voice is priceless. He's been struggling with energy issues for a while but now he's just oozing with energy. The only downfall of his new character development is that he's banking too much on his new voice to carry the skit than his physical comedy. he jsut hasn't learned to balance it yet, but I have complete faith that he'll figure it out quick enough.
The rest of the cast is doing fantastic. I'm glad Josh slowed down a considerable amount because for a while I honestly thought he was going to seriously hurt himself. Brett has come a long way as well he's pushing himself to learn hand balancing and he's making leaps and bounds in contortion. Cassy is doing awesome breaking out of her shell as the lecturer. She's so much mroe confident in herself and she doesn't seem so robotic anymore.
Logan has been doing a fantastic job keeping up with individual cast members and school and booking us summer gigs, I don;t know how he does it but he's kicking ass. He's doing a great job of demanding attention and being seen as an athority figure and seperating that from outside of rehearsals when we're just all really close friends again.
Okay guys I'm done with the updates for this morning. I'll update again!
