Questions.
Maybe some of you guys would be curious enough to answer these, hahaha.
1) This question popped in my head last Wednesday afternoon. In today's
society/world, what's the difference between an artist and a designer?
Because there are some artists that cross the threshold and can be
designers as well. Designers, on the other hand, are sometimes
considered artists as well. *shrug*
2) From a lecture on directing I attended several years back, I
remember the speaker saying, "You want the actors feel like they
did/created it themselves." So to actors and directors alike, what's
your take on this?
3) A friend is writing a musical for a children's workshop showcase, and had
said, "I started with the songs because it's a musical. I'm working my
way around the music, instead of the words." So I've been wondering
about this as well. When writing a musical, which comes first, the
spoken dialogue or the songs? Now that I think about it, in musical
theater, the songs are also lines that are just put to music (I don't
know if I'm making sense, hahaha). Aren't they? So shouldn't the spoken
lines be written first?
There are so many stuff on my desktop that's waiting for me to be read.
Aristotle's Poetics has been sitting there for weeks now, but so is an
ebook of Twilight, hahaha. I'm putting off the latter for now, but I'll
let it sit there as well. At least couple of projects still in the
works are also in line, asking for my input. Oh well.
Nikki and I met up again yesterday just to catch up on each other's
news. Because she went shopping already, plus it was raining, I chose
not to go to the mall and decided on hanging out at Starbucks in
Harbour Square. Still poised as ever, based on the stories she told
about her training in PAL, I can actually imagine her running up and
down the aisle, shouting emergency instructions at everyone, dodging
everything she runs into, HAHAHA.
Darn, sitting there at Starbucks, so near, yet so far from Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah rehearsals. Ahehehe.
