[14:39:57:pm]   <Emi>   I'd like to ask for help in something.
[14:40:08:pm]   <Ubik>  Do tell
[14:40:13:pm]   Or ask
[14:41:36:pm]   <Emi>   Some other seniors in the drama program are planning to host a show at the end of the year to... celebrate our tenure working in the school's theater, I guess.
[14:42:09:pm]   We can choose to do monologues and group performances, or we can do support roles, like stagecrew and other backstage stuffs.
[14:42:34:pm]   <kewangji>  *nods*
[14:42:41:pm]   <Emi>   I think it'd be pretty cool to help out, but I have no idea what I'd like to do. It'd be fun to perform something, but no ideas are coming to me.
[14:43:15:pm]   <kewangji>  If you do group performances, do you have to come up with the ideas?
[14:44:14:pm]   <Emi>   All the individual segments are thought up by the people performing. If I did a group performance, I'd have to clear it with the group, I'm sure.
[14:44:38:pm]   <kewangji>  Ohh, I see.
[14:45:10:pm]   How about a version of Kafka's Metamorphosis, where a cockroach wakes up one day to find it is a human, and has to cope thusly?
[14:45:55:pm]   <Emi>   It'd have to be relatively short.
[14:46:14:pm]   <kewangji>  one could do that in five minutes, I'd say?
[14:46:53:pm]   <Ubik>  You have practised singing, do you think you'd like to sing something?
[14:47:01:pm]   <Emi>   It should also "symbolize the experiences we've had in the drama program"
[14:47:06:pm]   <Ubik>  Or incorporate singing into something
[14:47:11:pm]   <kewangji>  Oh. <.<
[14:47:20:pm]   <Ubik>  What experiences have you had?
[14:47:33:pm]   Just anything that comes to your mind
[14:49:08:pm]   <Emi>   CURRENT PROGRAM/IDEAS!!:
    Date (tentative): May 6 @ 7pm, 1-1hr 30 minutes long
    5-8 songs, 3-5 skits, 1-2 monologues, each last around 5 minutes
    1 music video to September by Daughtry can everyone be in this if willing?!
    [NAME] will make a slide show
    We will have senior walls (photos of each of us through our four years of hs)
    [$name1 and $name2] are the M.C.s. We will have an awards/superlative thing for all the drama co seniors (everyone's going to get one)
    1 pre-filmed skit will be a sassy gay friend spoof [this can go wrong in so many ways //_x]
    the ending thing will be all of us singing "No Day But Today' from Rent with the slide show in the background.
    Between performances some of us will give speeches of our lives through drama/how hs has been for us/ what we wanna move on to/ something sentimental about drama etc etc
    [$name1 and I] are going to perform "What you own" from Rent for one of the approx 15 performances.
    We're all (or all that are willing) going to do Single Ladies. Also if willing, we're all going to be in a dance to Dog Days Are Over by Florence +the machine.
    I think we should all be in those three (single ladies dog days and the finale thing), then the rest should just be different groups of us wanting to do something, like [$name1] and me singing. This way, not everyone is swamped and forced to commit to this completely. We could all individually be in 4 or 5 but still have the program total up to 15.
    Who is interested in delivering a monologue? Who is interested in choreography? Who wants to do tech for this? Who is willing to plan and organize their own skit/ song?
    I need everyone's participation, even with ideas so please respond to this!!!
[14:49:16:pm]   Oh god wall of text I'm sorry
[14:49:38:pm]   <Ubik>  It's okay
[14:51:33:pm]   <Emi>   $name4: I'd like to do a song. I'm thinking either Elton John, or a Mozart Aria. That work?
    $organizer: Are you planning to do this yourself? Try to grab at least another person, I think monologues should be the only thing only one person does. Also don't just pick a song because you think it'll be cool, do something that'll relate to you being a senior or something that connects to your four years of high school. [$name1] and I have wanted to do that song from Rent for a while now...
    ...and this is the chance to finally do it, that's why we're doing that one
[14:52:06:pm]   <Ubik>  Heh
[14:52:09:pm]   <Zohar> Wow wall of text.
[14:52:15:pm]   <Emi>   Sorry!
[14:52:19:pm]   <Ubik>  It's glorious
[14:53:17:pm]   <Emi>   But yeah. With that in mind, I think my options for something to perform have been significantly cut down.
[14:53:22:pm]   <Zohar> It's OK. :)
[..]
[14:57:19:pm]   <Emi>   There's not really much I can say about my high school experience. A boring first year, a nice relationship during the second, a vastly uninspired third year, and a tumultuous fourth year I can't really share with most people I know.
[14:57:56:pm]   <Zohar> You could do something non-specific about these changes.
[14:58:04:pm]   <Ubik>  Perform 4'33"
[14:58:08:pm]   <Zohar> Just talk about your experiences.
[14:58:10:pm]   Ha ha!
[14:58:26:pm]   <Emi>   Four foot thirty-three inches?
[14:58:49:pm]   <Ubik>  John Cage's Four, thirty-three
[14:58:59:pm]   <felltir>   Such a good song
[14:59:03:pm]   I love the drop.
[14:59:05:pm]   <Zohar> Powerful.
[14:59:17:pm]   <felltir>   ... and then just... ...!
[14:59:29:pm]   <Zohar> Amazing.
