STAC TRip : Cymbeline

I realized that a lot of Shakespeare's plays have difficult intertwining plots that all seem to make sense towards the end. As the king has said "Are there any more plots to unravel?". I had absolutely loved the play. It was really very difficult to understand in the beginning but every line the actor and actress's had were very intriguing . Also the way that the actor had played off of the audience member was different and they had all kept a fine line from including the audience and from acting like they weren't there.
I had also found so many aspects of Metamorphoses in the play. The way the sheets were used and the beginning speech with unwrapping the candy. I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or the aspects were copied. I remember that during the beginning of rehearsals for Metamorphoses Luke had said something about how you have to make it clear when you are changing characters. During the play you could tell which person the actors and actresses were being. They did not have to even change costume, you could just tell from the essence of how they acted. I loved the play and grown to admire it more since Metamorphoses. 

Hanna

Hanna was very different from the rest of the American films that I watch but I could never really put my finger about what was different. I feel as if the just the way the movie was shot and the plot is different then American films. In American films there tend to be closure but in Hanna the closure was killing Marissa but it never showed how Hanna would turn out. Maybe it is the fact that there is a different type of closure in European films then American.

Another thing that I have realize occur in Hanna is that the movement of the actors are beautiful and graceful. When Eric had gotten trapped underground, the fluid action of the last two attackers was in such a grace that it looked like just one solid movement. when the bullets strike the man and the knife that hit the other man so quick it seemed effortless. Also I feel as if when Hanna is with the family see almost becomes more a humane nature and she gets to reach a side of her that she has never grew up with. But after the Dwarf gets her you start to see the switch and the fact that she cannot lose the person she was trained to be.

Dada Feist

Wow! All of the Dada performances were great. I loved the performance group and the dance. I think that the Dada performance seems to really have a message behind everything. I loved how they managed to incorporate Ring Around the Rosie into a message behind all of the acting. The message I got from the whole act was that anybody different had to to be "fixed" or could not be different. That it wasn't accepted in society to be different. OH I just had the whole thought in my head but I forgot. But overall I loved the whole concept of the act. I feel that everyone had incorporated their own definition of Dada making it Dada.

First STAC trip of the year

I was actually skeptical about how this trip would turn out considering how we have so many people this year. I can most definitely say that I was starving by the time we got to the Whitney. I found the sculpture center to be odd but also it didn't need art works in every corner. The building didn't have many artworks but the ones that they did have were interesting. I most definitely loved how some of the artworks were hidden or just very subtle. When the swings started moving above us it was so creepy because you expect there to be a person. I think that the people there have really used the building to its advantage.
For the rest of the trip I wish we would have had more time but despite that I found that the show was amazing. It was also so genius that they can still tell the story with only stage directions. The way they used props were also very simple and it got the point across. I fount the show to be hilarious and I really want to go see part 2.

Dada is what?

I think that Dada is something no one would really get the concept of. It is art but anti-art.
So when we were in stac art I was wondering how to make something dada. But then realized that Dada isn't always planning something, From what I get from it Dada is just a spur of what you feel like doing. Just doing what pops into your mind but doesn't serve a purpose.

With acting with the hat the next day it scared me to see how it would affect people. everyone took it a different way and I guess it hurts to see your friends that are so strong even get bother by it. A hat. A hat is what it takes to bother the people you think are so strong. The hat is what has gotten me so embarrassed and ashamed. Ashamed of being a hypocrite to my sister and not being a better role model I can be. Walking into her room to take something.  Everything I do she copies and I hate that she is turning to me like me. I think the reason why I yell at her or try to hurt her feelings is because I see myself when I look at her. I'm trying to hurt myself when I see her. I love her But I can never tell her because I don't want to be weak to her. I can't tell her what I feel without feeling weak. So every time I hurt her I hate myself for turning her into me. wow, the hat never really affected me but when I am writing this and thinking it hurts a lot. I hurts to see what I avoid.
But bottom line, everything just hurts.

Intertwining Chains

        Well, I might as well be brutally honest. I hate blogging with a burning passion. It is probably because I have totally bullshitted my whole blog last year and I have this issue with commitment to do something daily. So that would also explain how my daily blog last year only lasted for 10 days. But this year I will most definitely try to approach each blog post with 100% interest instead of just seeing it as a piece of homework. 

       What is there to say? It was the second first day to S.T.A.C. and seeing all of these new faces I got a glimpse about how the Oldies last year must have felt. Some part of you feels something missing, the faces and atmosphere has changed and it is a year to just start a new family. To make new memories. not to forget but to just add to the memories. So when I walk through the door it felt like nothing has changed. I mean sure people are different and there are more to learn but S.T.A.C. is still S.T.A.C.; it is still a place where I can look too where it is my break in the day. But besides that I feel like sophomore year is a year where you just go with anything but when 7th period starts I have a bunch of goals to start and finish.

       While working on the wall today there was something that Luke said that has been on my mind. He said that the oldies seemed to breeze through the activity then the newbies and it has got me thinking about what has changed from thinking like a newbie to thinking like a stacie. Or about how my mind set has changed because of S.T.A.C. it seems like a light switch has been turned in your head. After a year being in stac , you learn how to think like a stacie. You just learn the expectations. So to all the newbies that have to clue what Luke's talks about (that tends to happen to me, no offense Luke) or is just confused, Have faith by the end you just learn how to think the stac way. But while working o the wall you learn about everyone so differently. Instead of playing introduction games or anything this way is much more entertaining and you get to see what really matters to others. Not just having normal conversations with them but you learn how they think and what they love to do. I also realized while writing my web that I spread out my chart to reach out to other people. There must be a bunch of lines crossing over.  But I also got to talk to other people seeing the connection that could be drawn. like I drew serenity and that got to be linked to Jei Woo singing. I really am interested to see how this year will turn out.
