Vladimir

Just completed the most important course of my life. I can't effectively put into words the amount I have learnt in 4 days. Vladimir is a legend. I first heard of him last year when some of the second years who were in Twelfth night had him. I can't believe how lucky I am to be on a course with such talented individuals aswell. I have learnt alot from these people and have found it interesting to see how they have changed over the past 4 days. I'm never going to read a play in the same way again. We basically worked on scenes from 'Three Sisters' by Anton Chekhov. I played Chebutykin and Kelagin? and I had to do a drunken speech to the audience. Vladimir helped me alot though. This presents a turning point in my career I think. I had begun to become slightly disillusioned over the nature of practical acting, but this guy has shown me how limitless it is. Its even made me consider directing, and I have emailed Chesh to see if I could change my modules. I am adding him now to the list of the dramatists who have influenced me the past 5 years: Sue Rickman (Still teaching at Chantry) Pat Abbott (Same as above) Tom Knight (Teaching in Africa) Daniel Morgan (C&T) Pietro Cardillo (In Manchester) Allison Reeves (Still at WSFC) Paul Roseby (NYT) B (NYT) Dave Blumfield (Tom's Uncle(NYT)) Baz Steph Vladimir Boucher Me and Em wrote the panto in the end and my mate Steve (Practical group, Dogs on Tour and Russian Workshop) is playing one of the ugly step sisters. Went out for Halloween (Year since Craig's mate Becky visited). I hand-made my scarecrow costume and scared alot of people. Bumped into Owain, who has some projects lined up. Mentally knackered and worn out. Have to learn Macbeth lines for Tuesday.
