Project week
DATE: 2013-12-16 | TIME: 07:43:29 | CATEGORY: theatreMorning babes!
This week is something else: no homework, project week and it will be the first time I will be on the stage and preform. I am so excited!
Project week is a six days long week when every program is specializing in their own subject. As I am studying drama I will have theatre for six days and end the week with a performance.
I have already had two days of project week and I have been stupid not to blog about them. Anyways those days were good and we got split in to groups so we could plan and improvise our own scene. I ended up with the lovely Elena as she is Mary in the nativity play and I'm Joseph.
We have got some really nice scenes, and now when we've worked a lot with them it feels so practiced. I just need to be spontaneous when I'm up on stage.
Some feedback that I've got is the focus, I really need to give Elena my focus by looking at her. Really look at her!
We will see how today goes and I will keep my blog updated!
Hurray!!
Clown workshop 5&6 and theatre lesson
DATE: 2013-12-05 | TIME: 17:20:22 | CATEGORY: theatreI've had my last two clown workshop and they went pretty well.
We worked in pairs, and I worked with my lovely Elena because I will interact with her the most in our play.
Clown Workshop 6:
We were supposed to get in on stage, dancing around three laps and then introduce our clowns and our duo name. When that was over both of our clowns did not have a routine and we were very confused. Haha!
This went pretty well, we had some great moments and it was fun. I just really need to take in the audience and do it for them instead of a play between me and Elena. Flops are good, dare to stay longer in them!
Workshop 6:
On that lesson we were also working in pair, with Elena of course! This time we were getting on stage knowing what to do, and we got an animal portray. We got birds. When one of us were doing "the bird" the other one was supposed to stay behind and look at the clown acting and be impressed. If the clown who were acting got a lot of flops the other one were there to save him/her.
This exercise went really well, we had nice ping-pong as our clown teacher called it. Plus we had very great ideas, both me and Elena got great laughter which feels amazing when you're up there exposing yourself. I got pretty much the same feedback this time, be with the audience!!
I need to work on that hah!
Clown lesson:
Today we had clown again, without our clown instructor which was a bit scary. My drama teacher did a great lesson and I got very concentrated, she got me relax and it went pretty good.
Today I got the same feedback! Again! I really need to take the audience in.
Clown workshop: lesson 4
DATE: 2013-11-18 | TIME: 15:50:18 | CATEGORY: theatreToday's clown workshop was so much better, the audience laughed (hallelujah!!) and I felt more confident than what I have done before.
I may not have found my clown yet, but it feels a lot better.
Clown Workshop: Lesson 3.
DATE: 2013-11-17 | TIME: 19:44:34 | CATEGORY: GeneralFrustrated. I feel frustruted. This clown lesson was so unhelpful and it felt like the teacher was not trying to bring out the best of me.
I really like the teacher, I do, he's funny but it feels like he tries to help everyone to find they're thing, besides me. When it was my turn to go up infront of everyone and do a character, the clown teacher picked up the wrong things and when I followed his instructions it did not go well. I got so frustrated.
I got to do Marilyne Monroe, it went well the first five minutes. Then I felt I were just repeating myself and I did not get any response from the audience. You feel when it's time to walk off the stage and instead the teacher got me playing for 10 more minutes and I felt I couldn't do it.
I guess I didn't have the right attitude this time either. I can see that after what I have written haha! Next time tomorrow I will try to be more enthusiastic and not go out of character when the teacher interrupts me.
I have the best drama teacher's who made me feel happy, and said what I did well in. Mr. Junkka said he things I have strong facial expressions and that he thinks I am doing well. Janna said that I did well too, and like I've already mentioned "to stay in character the whole time".
This is what I learned this lesson:
- Always stay in character
- Never confess while being clown, that nobody laughs.
- A "flop" is a good thing.
- Don't get frustrated
I am back!
DATE: 2013-11-17 | TIME: 19:23:22 | CATEGORY: GeneralHello dear, not reading readers, I am back!!
This blog was meant to be my "diary" for my six weeks in London. I did not use it very well and I will now use this as my theatre blog. I will write document every drama lesson and keep them filed here. I might be starting to blog properly. Who knows?
Okay, fanks, seeya later.

eheheh
DATE: 2013-07-20 | TIME: 10:12:18 | CATEGORY: GeneralI AM SO SORRY, I KNOW THIS BLOG IS FOR MY TIME IN LONDON AND WHAT HAVE I TWEETED ABOUT???? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
I've had really big problems with jobs, and then I got one at a Jazz Café, which I really enjoyed just until yesterday. The Boss is no good. So I am actually going to call him today and tell him I'm not coming back. Ever. (Sandra and Mark aren't even letting me anymore hahaha)
I've had really cosy times with Mark, memories that I will never forget, every second is just so so amazing. Two days ago we went to Southend-On-Sea in Essex which were on of the best days in my life. He is so incredible.
Yesterday night my roommate's boyfriend finally moved out from the flat, and I got their room! Finally a bed to sleep on! whoopa! I've really enjoyed this night sleep (I've been sleeping on a sofa for 5 weeks, feel my pain.)
There is one week left, and it's my Sylvia Young course that I can not wait for!! Oh and I also discover that I will try out Singing & Microphone Technique - Street Dance - Basic Circus Skills?!?!?!?!?! I can't sing (even though I sing all the time), I can not dance, and Circus Skills??!?!?! Are they actually playing a joke on me!?!?
Well, whatever, if they want fat cornelia to swing on a elephant ear, then I will.
Those weeks has gone by so fast and I miss my girls so so so so so so so so much. You are so amazing and I am truly happy and lucky that I have you. You are amazing.
What is Cornelia doing today you might wonder? Well Corny is going to cry, but try to enjoy her last day with her lovely boyfriend :(((
It's me and Mark's last day together and it's so sad, I wish I could be with this often with him as I am know, but I can't. Hopefully that will change in the future.
(mama I blogged, just for you <3)

Nervous
DATE: 2013-06-14 | TIME: 18:05:50 | CATEGORY: GeneralI'm so nervous I really don't know what to do, I'm going to London in three days and I will be there for six weeks. I will be there without my friends, without my mum and the rest of my family. I don't know if I get a job or not, I'm just so nervous. I have to do a list what to do before I leave. I'm nervous. I will do that list tonight and start on it tomorrow and I think I will email the Pan Asian Guy today and see if I can meet him on Tuesday. Oh jesus christ mother god, abraham lincoln, harry potter.
I need to calm down, I will play some Pottermore, eat some thai food, go and hang out with my lovely ladies Emma and Maja who I have not meet in ages so I'm pretty excited (but still very nervous).
FOUR DAYS
DATE: 2013-06-13 | TIME: 19:13:00 | CATEGORY: GeneralIt's four days until I leave to London and I am so excited, I miss Mark more than ever and to think that I will be in his is arms in four days is unbelivable.
Today's been a very happy day, did something very cheeky against my dads girlfriends daughter and her friend. It was so funny that I've been laughing about it all day, I think that made me happy.
In a couple of hours all of my friends will go to this gigant outside party while me, corny-cornelia will sit inside and play pottermore, watch some pretty little liars and skype to my handsome boyfriend. How sad am I from a scale 1 to Moaning Myrtle? Like beyond Moaning Myrtle... It's quite sad.
Precious photoshop edit by me.
HAPPY
DATE: 2013-06-11 | TIME: 14:59:18 | CATEGORY: GeneralI'm feeling happy today and not down at all.
This morning I went to the doctors and I was basically healthy, but they think I have a small virus because I'm so down all the time but after leaving the hospital I felt a lot better!
I won't eat anything I will feel bad about now, I can't stand feeling bad about everything I tuck in my mouth. So now I will watch Kourtney and Kim in New York and eat cherries and strawberries, yummy.
7 DAYS
DATE: 2013-06-10 | TIME: 17:21:52 | CATEGORY: GeneralToday it's seven days until I leave to London, I've been very nervous about it lately how I will be able to survive by cooking all the food myself and just live a life without my mama. It feels like I'm moving out for six weeks.
I'm praying to god that I will have a job during my weeks in London, it was so funny last month a got a mail and it said that I was going to an interview the 21st May (I had an important math exam so that was a no no). I answered that I couldn't go that day but would love to go to attend an interview after the 17th of June. But guess who got an inviation for a new interview the 13th Of June? Well... Me!! I told Joanne (the interviewer of the company) that I would come after the 17th of June and do the interview. We will see if they get the message...
Yesterday I applied for a couple of jobs in Fulham near the area I will stay in London and we will see if they answer me. If they don't answer I will have my chance at the Lunch Restaurant in Paddington and the Pan Asian one in West End.
Bong Bong Booooong, seeya soon biggy ben
THE FACE
DATE: 2013-06-09 | TIME: 17:56:31 | CATEGORY: GeneralToday has just been a sleepy day, I've been too tired to read, too tired to anything so I've been just sleeping through the whole day. I kind of had to wake up now when my step dad bought me a pizza and hell yeah I'm watching the face while eating it.
First I was like "what the f*ck is this shit" and basically hated it because Nigel Barker is cheating on America's Next Top Model on this program but now when I watch it I really start to like it. It's a whole new concept and it's so exciting, three models the one and only Naomi Cambell, Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha. They have to select four models each on their team and coach them.
This is something different and I think I will be following The Face and might (I won't) ditch America's Next Top Model from now on!
SCENT OF A WOMAN
DATE: 2013-06-08 | TIME: 23:06:00 | CATEGORY: General
This is a 157 minute master piece, released 1992 in the theaters and winner of an Oscar for Best Actor. No wonder that Al Pacino won the Best Actor category, his performance as a blind man is brilliant. For the second time in my life has this man made my tears stream down my face, just because his absolutely incredible acting. First in the god father and now when he lived and breath as his character, he meant every word he said and it's no doubt that Al Pacino is a walking master piece.
My advice for you dear reader is to watch this movie, as fast as possible.
Hello!
