Alice and the Wonder Garden Pics
Okay!!!!! It's a wrap! This project has been shot! :D
The weekend went so so well, no problems at all, we had wondrous weather (so much so that I got a bit sunburnt on Saturday!) And everyone was fantastic to work with.
Here are some production stills as promised. We have Alice, the fawn, the rat, and the rabbit.
I'm so excited to edit this, however dissertation comes first. My next job is to condense 8600 words down to 3000. UGH!
Wish me luck!!!

Summertime Blues
A term I think is probably quite rare or unheard of, however the end of the summer months for the past two years have been rather depressing. Nothing major happens to trigger this, (well...maybe last year) but you begin to lose motivation for anything but aimlessly surfing the net, watching films and comedy series', and writing and reading blogs!
Winter blues in my opinion don't exist, because winter is a warm and generous time, whereas in Summer everyone goes home (which tends to be hours away) and all there is to do is work to attempt to earn back the overdraft you've accumulated over the last year, to no avail usually/as of yet. At least here it is anyway, maybe in Bristol it will be different, and we definately won't have four months off for summer!
And on top of the boredom and loneliness you experience in the same four walls everyday, when you do venture out (when financially you really shouldn't) to see friends, as beautiful as it can be, it can also produce the most ridiculous and unbelievable questions to torment your conscience for the time after when you go back home. But that's a rather intimate story that I shan't delve into, because ultimately, it won't work, is pointless considering, and in the early hours of a morning haze you wonder if it really did even happen. Sadly I'm the kind of girl to appreciate any prospect, and ignore the recipe for doom it provokes. (I can deal with that later...right?)
We have less than two months till the start of the third year, which is SCARING me! I was supposed to spend a lot more time preparing this over the summer, but such a lack of creativity, has proved to be the opposite! Oh gahd, I hope some ideas start popping into my head soon.
ANYWAY sorry for that negative update, on the plus side Im going to Falmouth in a week :) Which will be fab.

'I sit looking at the pages of centaurs trampling the soil of Argos, and outside my window he is trying to become one in a Hampshire field!'
Last night I had travelled back home to attend Equus, a community drama club production being shown in Frome. My good friend Luke Stuart had the lead part of Alan Strang, and I had never seen Luke in a play before as a lead role.
I must be honest and say I had no idea of the plot, I had been told by a few I had a surprise awaiting me. So the play started off, with the other main character of Doctor Dysart, who had many underlying problems that began to emerge as the play went on. Luke played Alan very very strongly, he portrayed a boy who was confused, yet completely submerged in his passion for Horses and Equus, the god that could be found in every horse if you summoned him. The myth was that Equus could make the rider and the animal one, and this is what Alan desired more than anything from a young age. He however, had blinded 3 horses because he felt he had betrayed Equus with a girl who worked at the stables with him. He had been driven to insanity through his desire/belief, and as Alan acts out the events that led up to the incident, he becomes more and more emotional, as surprisingly so does Dysart, who I assumed to be the neutral figure in this story. It turns out Dysart has as many problems as Alan, and becomes highly jealous of him for chasing his dream.
Alan Burgess who plays Dysart, brings such a presence to the stage, he has a friendly, warm voice, and piercing eyes that slowly revealed his troubled conscience. Yet he can turn around when provoked to show his stern, more irritable side.
Stephen Scammell who played the father Frank Strang had a powerful and intimidating voice, which was perfect for the role. He really portrayed an agitated, bottled up character that could explode at any moment. This really kept the audience on the edge of their seats, and you could really empathise with Alan being his son.
Juanita Chedzoy played Dora Strang, the religious mother of Alan. She put across a clear peace-keeper and a classic sensitive, forgiving and yet another character that bottles up her true feelings. She does have a moment where she explodes at Alan, which is inevitable due to the events in the story.
Aynsley Minty who played Nugget, the horse, really got the facial expressions right for the horse, and worked very well with Luke being so passionate towards him.
Everyone who worked on the play had clearly put it a lot of work and devotion to the production, and it really showed.
Luke's version of Alan Strang was so intricate, through the many emotions his character was experiencing, he really indulged himself when Alan had his violent mood swings and painful outbursts, and made a clear difference between decided when to talk to Dysart and not to. Especially the flashbacks from his memory, were also acted out well to show he was a much younger age than at present. Luke was so composed on stage, he had such a strong level of self control through immersing himself into his character, and not making eye contact with certain members of the audience unless required by the scene, which is something I really admire in actors as I can only imagine how hard that must be to pull off!
This was such a great example to watch Luke act professionally, as he showed a range of different emotions and settings, I will definitely consider him for my future film productions as a serious actor. However I would love to see him in a comedy, as I never stop laughing when I am around him.
I would definitely recommend going to watch this if you get the chance, it is a very good play and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Word Press...??
What a complicated method of designing :( I dunno how long that one will last, I was inspired by my friend who has just started writing novellas daily on Word Press.
Think I may just stick with straight forward Blogger!
Anyway, the reason for this post, today I got my disposable camera pictures developed :D Thanks to my great house mate who did it for free! One camera was one Ive taken pictures on over the last year, and the other from Glastonbury Festival last week.
So here are a few of the best ones for your consideration. Enjoy!
I especially love the next three <3
And the last one :)
