Mimi Does Theatre: Day 1

Okay so I am a screenwriter and artist. I like theatre but I don't really know much past what I had to learn in GCSE drama. But now I am on a theatre course so uhh... Mimi does theatre now.

I had my first day today, here are some notes

We are going to get some free tickets and discounts and this is very exciting. I look forward to seeing plays again.

The company we are with is considered the 'flagship' of the big theatre here, and the place to look for emerging talent. I didn't realise is was so big, well done me. (and yes, this does terrify me) We'll also have to work with marketing and the box office and will form our own theatre company by the end (along with putting on our own play). again, terrifying.

Source to Performance by Mathew dumsomething sounds really interesting. Talks about where ideas come from and why each persons source is shaped by their own world. An idea that stems from my mums hands might look at abuse, childhood, brain development because I know about her whereas you might think of smoking, handwork and anxiety by looking at them because you don't know the extra stuff I do.

We did this task where we had to find a think that interested us and then write as many questions about it as possible. I found this piece of bumpy plastic which I liked because it made a great sound and was the perfect stim thing. I obviously had questions like where its from, who used it last, why it was there etc, but also went into which dinos are inside of it, is it morally wrong to use it in a collage about dinosaurs, what part of a collage would it be - the grass or the dino (bc its green). After 5 minutes, we then had to answer our fav question. I went with the moral one and ultimately decided it wouldn't be wrong as long as you are mindful of its origins and don't proceed to insult dinos while being aware of the reason the plastic exists.

We did a lot of movement stuff which was surprisingly fun. I liked how much I could stim without it looking weird. I need grippier socks if we do this a lot which I think we will.

I am so excited to continue this course and think it was one of the best choices I've made in a long time.

[mimisstudy]

I start a year doing a course at the theatre, tomorrow! Once again, I intend to share updates on it here but we all know how that went last time...

success should not come from deprivation. studyblr community, this is a reminder.

my three idols in middle school — rory gilmore, spencer hastings, and hermione granger — were all bookish, type-a, deeply intelligent young women who were brilliant students and good role models, but they taught me from a young age that success requires suffering.

i am tired of seeing students forgo food and sleep and time to themselves. i am tired of seeing students use adderall to stay awake all night and make it through exams the next day. i am tired of seeing students live off of coffee and a bite of a muffin at six am. we see these narratives on tv and they play out in the dorm room next to me.

my friend has five meetings today after a full day of classes. “thank you so much,” he says when i offer to drop off food at his dorm. “i was just planning to not eat today.”

i am tired of the narrative that isolation and deprivation are the key to a good life, that high performance in school is key to a happy future, that painful sacrifice now will pay off later.

you are more important than your grades, your notes, your burning eyes in the morning when your alarm goes off far too early. you deserve a balanced life and a life that is enriched by your studies and not damaged by them.

you deserve to go to sleep when you are tired. you deserve to eat when you are hungry. you deserve to take a break from studying.

you are the most important thing in your life. please treat yourself with care.

The thing I look forward to the most about finishing college: having the time to learn just because I want to. To be able to write essays on subjects that interest me without being worried I'll get a bad grade or that I'm wasting my time by not doing my set work.

Of course, I'm going to have my cash job and art/writing projects to work on at the same time but this still excites me

[mimisstudy]

I've been working on my FMP a whole lot this week and I've got myself into a tricky situation. The plan was to write a script and create a pitch deck to then pitch to my brothers production company.

Then I read 'the curious incident of the dog in the night time'.

So now I'm writing a book? I've planned all the chapters and I think it conveys my idea a lot better as it's so much more chaotic than I know how to write in script format.

I might still do the script but first I want to see this book through and, even if it's not the final product, I think it's really helped me to understand my characters and the stories of their family as they understand it.

It's 17 chapters and it'll be maybe 100 pages max so it's not going to be a super intense thing to write.

(an example of how not intense it is: one chapters plan is "just expletives")

I'm enjoying this though and, while that's not what the exam board cares about, that's what matters most to me at the moment

I'll probably also be posting stuff here because I've been neglecting this account!

I'm starting my final major project early next month officially and idea developing now and oh my!!! You guys are going to be spammed so much over the next few months until I finish is June.

I'm writing a social realism script about the effects of abuse on teenagers and how the mental health system fails them. I'll also make a pitch deck and a mock up of a set, along with moodboards for each draft and character so the people I share it with understand everything as clearly as possible. It's going to be painful to write but I've been wanting to do something like this for a while so I think it will be somewhat therapeutic

Translating the first Harry Potter book (I don't condone the author, I bought it second hand so she doesn't profit from this) and gosh, there are an awful lot of words I don't know. I have the English text, a French dictionary and a French to English translator. I've got through one paragraph fully and sort of understand the rest of the page.

It's been half an hour.

This may take some time.
