The Schedule Keeps Filling

Hey everyone,
Since my encounter with the vampires (see The Hunted: Expulsion) I have been unbelievably busy. We’ve begun mask work in movement class with Norm Johnson and we’re building our own masks this week. This is an incredible experience, but very time consuming and frustrating. My mask is almost done, I’m on to the painting stage, and hopefully it turns out well. Other classes are going well, this is the first time in my college career where all my classes seem to be working in synergy, and things are moving a little easier than they have in the past.
We’ve begun rehearsals for Much Ado About Nothing, and while we’re still in the table read stage, the cast just seems amazing. I can’t wait to get going. Everyone seems to work well together (the cast is full of the people I spend my time with anyways) and the reading is hilarious. It’s very easy to see everyone in their roles, and working with Greg is great. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am cast as the Messenger (and I’m understudying the Friar), but I was given the extra role of Lord in Act 5, and I will be Fight Choreographing for the show. I’m very excited about this part of the production, as it will be my first time working on Fight Choreography for the IC Mainstage, as well as my first time Fight Choreographing for a house this large. The scenic/costume/light/sound design is going to be phenomenal, the design team gave presentations at the first rehearsal, and they are going to be stunning, so make sure you get your tickets!
We had snowicane 2010 last week (also known as Snowpocalypse 2010) which dropped a huge amount of snow on Ithaca New York, and all of New York State, however a source tells us that Ithaca College was one of two schools in the state not to close last thursday (Feb. 25) and the other was Cornell. Go Ithaca New York, we stick it out! Because of it, the cars were all covered, and the parking lots absolutely decimated, and it led to some great sledding! The snow’s all still here now, and more is dropping on us, which has man people confused. Maybe it’s coming from New England that makes me wonder how they could think snow would stop once March arrived, but my concept of snow is that it snows through late March, and I’ve seen snow as late as the end of April/early May before. Especially here where the lake effect snow runs everything, I can’t believe that people think that the calendar date for the beginning of spring would be any mark towards when spring ACTUALLY arrives. Anyways, that’s just my pet peeve for the day. Beyond that there’s not much to report.
Pretty soon we’re going to go back after the Vampires who attacked us, and we’ll be sure to post the video so you all can see the outcome. If you haven’t seen the first video, again please go check it out here and let us know what you think via a rating or a comment or something of that kind. Showing it to your friends would be really helpful as well as it would help us get the word out. We’re now an official Affiliate of the official site for The Hunted (we have our own logo and everything), so you’ll be able to see our updates there as well. Stay tuned for those updates, because we will try and keep updating as fast and often as we can.
Much love to everyone,
~ Ned
