 But I don't know, sir. Can you guys get off the stage, please? Let's go. I need to actually tell you something. On the table, everything, every role, every part is up on the table for me right now because a lot of people feel to realize that the theater has a lot to do with the discipline. It is a discipline, it's a disciplinary art and after we already struggled with persons coming to Rio, so I've had a particular issue with this one person. Right now I'm actually thinking about, it's about completing the play and I think the people who started with us might not be the ones ending it. My name is Shine Savory and I'm kind of a hands-on everywhere person in this play. I'm the assistant director to Ms. Dubois. I have some hands in writing and I'm hoping to do a little bit of stage management so I'm kind of running around everywhere, helping out. I'm not getting a clear motif from the movie so it's that and also the body language towards the end. But while you're talking to me, it's more of a space. It all comes from the phrase, I'll get there on ocean time or it's starting at 6 o'clock ocean time. That's something within our culture that we need to break off, that just we need to make people understand that when it comes to theater, especially that that doesn't apply and that you can't decide I'm going to do it this one week and then not show up for a month and then come back and expect that everything is going to be there ready for you. It doesn't work like that. You can't be there half the time or show up late and just expect everything to keep going. You have to have a certain kind of level of expectations for yourself and take yourself seriously before you can expect people to make accommodations for you. You know you have good days and bad days, today's not a good day. So you're laughing because I'm dismissing it constantly. Because it's funny, it's funny right? It's funny. I love XR2O. I'm telling you. You can say three more weeks. We've had a very tumultuous past few weeks because you know we've been struggling with people and the commitment coming to rehearsals and we had as of recent two people who have officially resigned from being a part of the play so I'm kind of in a bind. It's a noise, you're making noise, noise, noise, noise. Thank you. Thanks. My audition, to be honest, was horrible. It did not represent my true potential. I was not prepared, you know, I was practically clueless as to what exactly was going on. You know, I was not exactly focused, I wasn't centred. So when I did get to the audition, thinking that you know it would just be a read through like I said, it turned out to be like an actual, you know, I guess you know full on audition where I had to go on stage and do everything and I was not prepared. I had never gone through the monologues. I had no idea that you know we were auditioning for rules. I know it's horrible and sad but I had no idea we were auditioning for rules. I just, it was just communication was lost and somehow I was just all over the place. I tried to wing it but unfortunately that type of play I guess it just didn't work out in my favour. Wow, Luke Sadia just messaged me, hey Dinel, sorry I'll have to drop out of the production leaving the island next week. Do you see the same thing? Well, I didn't intentionally leave the play. When I found out that, you know, it would have been delayed, you know I had to make the tough decision to, you know, drop out. My name is Sidale and you may know some of my hits like this one.

Protecting music rights. Man helps, but that brings more togetherness, a feeling of, yes, we're doing something. I feel not belonging, so it was a very good thing. There's an open area, they don't need to have any props as such. So usually, people in fear they have a lot of life and you give them that latitude to do, you know, to express themselves and the more they're together it helps on stage because actors feed on actors. If actor is in character and they have the energy, the other one will step up. So all that helps in terms of trust too, if you have to hold some body on stage, you might feel uneasy, but all that can help because I could hold you, I could squeeze you. So all that, so I let the vibes. I know you and I know you and if I know the two of y'all, it didn't have anything to do with the way things are in the film, but somebody's personal life you're talking about. It will be common now. It's like soaps, you know, everybody in life is soaps with you, Alice, you know, everybody in life is soaps there. There were two scenes that we had, well they haven't done and today we do it and we just go through it, which I was surprised. Although there was one or two lines that I was missing, but they didn't stop, they didn't buckle, they didn't, you know, they went right through. It was good. Yeah, I feel like one more becoming there, as I said. My character is a bit of an unfortunate character. We have a lot of those in the public right now. Tries to make a living by robbing persons, but he went one step too much. Oh, it's back, it's back, it's back! Drop it, drop it! She's getting it! That one is a little off of opposite to my character, persons would be quite surprised. I jump on the opportunity, it is different to what I would be comfortable with, but I hope that the director and writer would be satisfied with what I do. Huh? That's what you're trying to do? That's what you're trying to do first? Who are you going to kill? Boss, boss, boss, boss! Boss, no, no, no! Boss, you're just going to kill me! Challenges we currently face are people forgetting their lines, persons of course not showing up. When one person is not there, that energy is felt, that void is felt. So it's kind of hard to pick up or to, how should I say it, be fully engrossed within the rehearsal. Faster! Alice right now, for some time now, Alice has been struggling to come to rehearsals. When I realized some time back that it was becoming a problem for her to attend rehearsals, obviously to have to leave early. I told her, well, consider, you know, not being a part of it, seeing that I can't get the commitment from my actors. I now have to go and find somebody else to play the role and make arrangements so that we're not behind. Daniel I guess, you know, knows that I acted a few years ago. So many, many, many moons ago. And just asked me if I wanted to be part of the program that was happening. And of course, as anything else I volunteered to show off what I can do. What are we getting ourselves into? You love me enough to take me out of this f***ing place? You love me enough to walk in the bush and talk to me? I was an understudy for two roles. It was Doctor Pot and some guy that I love if a girl. Jack, alright. And Robert, he was playing the role cash man. When Robert came to play the role, I was like, boy, let me get the role already, let me get the role. Because Robert is more experienced in terms of being on stage and that kind of vibe. In a drama pussy. So I said, oh boy, let me get the role. So I was told to understudy cash man with being an understudy for two other roles. I was like, boy, that's a lot of pressure on me and after the nine, after the nine. So last week, two days ago, no, last week, Wednesday it was, the producer came and I was like, oh, I have good news and bad news. Somebody jumped out of the play. And my man was like, boy, tell me. Tell me it's messy. Alright. So then when they said his name, I was like, I'm charged. I'm disney. I'm disney boy. Here are ways to reduce your plastic bag use.

I asked my friend Shatoya from SHIR 758 to come and do dance rehearsals with them because I always like to just expose the cast to different things, to just get them in the zone and excited about rehearsals. So she came, we did our curtain call and we did our choreography for that. And as of recent, we've been challenging the cast to just run the play off script, which means no script, even though you don't know the lines, let's just improvise. So let's see how the movement of the play takes place. And for some reason, the energy was just off. The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue. To me, I see it already. But she saw it on Saturday, not today. I did saw you do something like a fair thing, try again. A million ways to say something. The lips? No! The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue, these are the tools of articulation. The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue, these are the tools of articulation. You know, they say sometimes your best performance is usually one of your best rehearsals. And I've seen the play performed and done so much better than what took place. So I was just kind of disappointed and I tried my best to not make them stop. So I just wanted to see if they'd pick up the energy or just check up vibe like it wasn't good and it was just like that until the end. So ask us to marry after every rehearsal. We give feedback and we have that one-on-one discourse about everything. And I think it was Dishon. He has, well, he's the one picking up from Robert. So he knew that almost about a week and change. And it was obvious that he didn't really go through the script. So I'll be honest, I've not been going through the script where I wanted to add funeral of all my great-grandmother. And after I was like, boy, you know what, let me channel the rest of the line. So when I got through rehearsals on Monday, I was like, well, Daniel, I cannot use my script tonight because, you know, I try and play things. I know my own. So I want to, like, you know, go through the script whenever she's like, no, we're improvising. So the past rehearsals, it has been improvising as well. So I was like, okay, cool. The last rehearsal, she told me, boy, you did excellent. Boy, you did good. So I mean, I have the hype by going and improvising. I know I could do it, right? So I, when I went on stage, my first line, I spill it out. It looked good. Daniel laughed 44 times. I was like, okay, Daniel laughing. When I got to the core of it all, as soon as I started speaking, Daniel was like, that's not the lines. That's not what I want, okay? That's not this. And at that point, I was just like, what the f***? I know sometimes, you know, you can't make a demand on an actor, you know, to learn their lines, especially if it's not space of time. But one week, in my opinion, was enough time to at least get the essence of the script. So when you're improvising, you're not so afraid that you're throwing everybody off. Can I use my script? No. Improvise. I'm trying to improvise. You're telling me that's not what's on the script. I went back, I sat and everybody was supposed to have given their feedback as to how the play went. So when it got to me, Daniel was like, what do you think should have been better? So I said, well, I think I have to learn my lines. Well, I guess I just have to learn the lines. So like, I just, I don't know what to say. I'm like, what do you mean you tell me you just have to learn the lines? Of course, yes, you have to learn the lines. Daniel responded, and she was like, what the f**k you telling me about? You f**king don't learn the lines. At that point, I was like, I just, I guess I lost it at that point in time. No, I don't regret my behavior. I don't because I realized for some reason you have to be a mean person. You have to be almost like a dictator to get people to do what they have to do. You'll not be able to recognize me. Don't test me, Pelina. From audition day, Pelina showed up and she had a stethoscope and she had her nurse outfit already. Like, Pelina is that kind of person. Like, when she does something, she goes deep in it and she goes out and she gives all her effort. I mean, I've acted before in the States and then brought me so, I'm happy to be able to do it. What would you do if a student was doing it after your class? You're a teacher, right? What would you do if a student was doing it after your class, Pelina? You're a teacher, right? You make me feel sorry for myself. I'm not making you feel sorry for yourself. You're making me feel sorry for myself. It's the best you expect. Yeah, you could have put a little better than that. And first of all, I was dealing with Daniel of his few decisions, so I don't know why the person is that sad. I'm not trying to make you feel sorry for yourself. Why should I not eat my bread? I was speaking to Daniel of his few decisions. She was speaking to me. She was speaking to me. And you actually excused yourself to one lap off stage. Because I could have wanted one lap off stage. It was disrespected to one stage. I would have asked disrespected. Nobody asked me to excuse I was disrespected. A lap and disrespected. I love my disrespected. I'm moving forward. I will be a little bit harder to get the results that I need to get. It's nice, Daniel all the time. And it's just unfortunate that it had to get to that for people to start like, alright, it seems like Daniel is serious. I'm trying my best to actually get it. And I'm just not getting it. And I'm just getting it. But won't you tell me leave? Come on. So I didn't know what to do. Today was a very successful rehearsal. I came to my rehearsal space. Everybody was in their spaces. Who had to be learning the lines was learning the lines. And I'm grateful for that. So it was a lesson. Everybody just have to shape up or shape out. I'm not a bitch. Coming up in the next episode of Curtain Call. I will say what I have to say. I will say what I need to say. I will say what I want to say. I will say what I want to say. I will say what I want to say.
