Auditions
Hi all,
Been a while...everythings going well in the land of Green. Job rocks, boss sucks.
To get to the point:
Auditions
This Saturday (29th) we're holding audtions at the Garage (Chapelfield North) for the next production: 'A New England' a play set in Brixton in 1981 about Racism, Ska and the National Front.
So basically we're looking for Punks/Rudies/alternatypes, there's loads of parts from the Main characters to club fillers. Whatever your experience is, we don't care, come and give it ago! (Unless your under 18, 'cos of the themes of the play we can't let you in. Sorry)
There's 2 times to come along 11am or 2pm, you can come to either or both if you really want!
If you have any questions send an email to anewengland@hotmail.com and I shall try and answer them. The Auditions will consist of some impro games and some script reading and will last about 1.5 hrs.
Spread the word!

Yes, Yes, I know...
...this is not an update, it's a yet another shameless plug for the festival. So to keep you happy, here's some stuff about me.
I just got over a cold, I have a hideous cough. I started a new job last Monday at that place, TRO, where I worked last summer. I am the Fleet Administrator. It's easy and the company's really cool to work for, so this is good. Also, bizarrely, I work for Declan's Dad (for those of you that know Declan). When I say 'work for' Me & him are the Transport Department. Other than that I have mainly been working on Alice, which brings me to...
( Volunteers Please! )
Tickets are on sale as of now from theatre royal box office 01603 63 00 00 £5/ £4 concessions.

Yes, I reliese there will be about half an hour of adverts and the film will be on at midnight, but I can't find any info and the dressing up thing.
Basically: Who else is going?

If you all jumped off a cliff, I'd do it last and hope I landed on you all...
Pretty much what I expected.
Much More Emotional
You have:
55% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and
77% EMOTIONAL INTUITION | The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored well above average on emotional intuition and about average on scientific intuition.Keep
in mind that very few people score high on both! In effect, you can
compare your two intuition scores with each other to learn what kind of
intuition you're best at. Your emotional intuition is stronger than
your scientific intuition. |
|
Your Emotional Intuition
score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their
unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates
social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you're good
at Quake.
Your Scientific Intuition
score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well
you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with
high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the
sciences. |
| | |
My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 99% on Scientific | | You scored higher than 99% on Interpersonal |
|
But I could still kick your ass at Quake.

OOOOh, look! A Lesser spotted update.
Thought I'd update, becasue hey, I'm quirky likt that.
What's going on in the world of Dan? I heer you say. Well, I'm working for a company called The Russell Organization, in a warehouse. It's a blast. I clean lots of Vans and sometimes drive them.
I have also finished the Alice in Wonderland adaption which took a while and was painful as I had to hack out loads to keep it technically possible and keep the running time down to about an hour, so when you come and see it (which you will, yes I'm talking to YOU!) sorry if I've cut out your faveorite bit, but I've had to cut mine too, so it's fair. We're doing Alice as part of a festival of stuff (we haven't come up with a name yet) involving differant performing arts (Drama, Music, Dance, Art and stuff). Our basic idea is to get people to come along becasue they're intrested in one of the things, but whilst they're there they'll see stuff they haven't seen before. Its on february 9th, 10th and 11th, if you fancy doing somthing for it, drop me a line. We will provide: Venue (The GArage), Full technical support (not based in india!), Stage management and back stage team, FOH team and programmes, space for auditions and pubicity for them to, and full colur posters and publicity for the event. Proposal's but August the 26th please. We're looking for all sorts, the only real restriction is is can't be more than 30 mins. So, yeah, email me if you have an idea.
In other news, we're getting a new housemate, Emma, she'll be moving in in the next couple of weeks. Seems cool and clean. Which is good.
And I've been playing a lot of Rome: Total War! which is fun.
See ya'll sooon!

Bugger...
So, lost my job, at no notice and still dunno why. Sux ass. Deciding I need to start working on a 'career'. Ideally I wanna work in theatre or similar. Or become a Drama teacher or, preferably lecturer. But to do that I need a degree, which involves becoming a student, loads of money and an inherant risk.
So, that ideas is rapidly (and depressingly) going down the pan. Dunno what else I wanna do, toying with the idea of 'Paramedic', but I don't really know.
Yesterday I worked in a warehouse with Manuel from Fawlty Towers. No, really.
Then in the evening, went to see 'Revenge of the Sith' with some peeps. Pretty Dark really. Fun, lot's of light saber action, could have done with a bit more Vader stuff at the end, but overall enjoyable.
Chains tonight, rehersal tommorrow. Job hunting next week.

Morally speaking
Quandary. Let's say, your about to set up your wireless network, when you reliese you are already attached to a network, and the internet, even though you have no other connection other than the wireless one. So clearly you're jacking a neighbours wireless connectin. SO do I spend hours trying to figure out which of my neighbours it is, in order to help them protect their network (and allow me to set up my own), or do I just continue to jack theirs on the ground that if they are dumb enough to not secure the network, they will never figure it out?

Yeah, I bet you say that to all the girls
This week mainly consistsed of 'de Sade' it was fun. Forty people the first night, about 80 the second. It would have been nice do to a longer run, but there you go, beggers can't be choosers and all that. No particular hiccups during either of the runs. It was pretty straight forward really, I was expecting the production to be more surreal when we started, but we ended up with a pretty straight forward play, fun but not overly exciting. Which has spurred me onto get writing on my full on surreal explosion of theatre. That'll be fun. More details on that soon. maybe.
In other news on wednesday our new TV arrived. The delivery guys could barely fit it in the house. 28 inches of pure electron smashing fun. Today me and Tarn are going to buy a new sofa and a DVD player (because tarn got the Lord of the Rings 12 disc box-set yesterday)
Off to UCI at 8.30 to watch hitchikers if anyone wants to join?

I;m Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack...
Morning Kids!!
Yes, after a bit of an LJ break, I've decided to return. Hope you have all been well, I've been dropping in a reading from time to time, but I'm not gonna ever catch up on the last 3 months of all your lives, but I'm sure you've been having fun.
So, what's been going on with me I hear you ask. Well, I've got a new job working for The Stationary Office. It's tele-sales (again), but it's well chilled out and quite easy. We also have internet access, which is nice.
Shit, it's been 4 month since I updated, not 3. Wow.
In the rest of my life, I'm currently rehersing 2 plays: de Sade, which we're doing next week at the Art's Centre (Tuesday and Wednesday - Tickets from The Arts Centre and Kulture Shock £5 normal people £4.50 scum (Not YOU!))
The other one is Only in the Woods: A Misdummers Night Dream, along with HeadCube (yeah, yeah, I can't remember how to do the LJ user thing, blow me). Which is fun, we're both playing Faries, but not your average Faries mind, double hard-bastard Faries. Oh yes. That's going on in June. More details nearer the time.
So, rehersing 2 plays at once means I don't really have time to do much else, which sux, but after next week down to one play, which will be nice and relaxed.
Have been trying to do some writing, but the insane rehersal schedule has stopped this happening, hopfully I'll get some stuff down in the next couple of weeks.
..and that pretty much brings us up to date, I promise to try to update more than previously...haha.
Finally: What's the similarity between a Slinky and a Chav?
They're both kinda pointless, but it's fun to watch 'em fall down stairs!
