YOUR Life of Entertainment

Everybody, I want to hear from YOU! I want to hear all of your stage and performing stories! I made an e-mail address just for this purpose. Who knows, I might even feature your stories on this blog. I promise I will answer ANY e-mail I receive. I'm so-o-o-o excited to hear from all of you. :D The email is: christydreamers@gmail.com

Please send me ANYTHING YOU WANT! I don't care if you just feedback, constructive criticism, entertainment stories... I just want to see what my readers have to say/what they've experienced in the performing arts.

Fathers

Last week my dad and I worked on a piece of music called "Help Me Find the Way" by Afterglow. It is a song about a daughter of God praying to her Heavenly Father- she receives his loving answer and comes about the realization that God will always be there for her. It's a beautiful piece, and it really helped my father and I get closer. I applied the lyrics to our relationship and found that-no matter what- my earthly daddy will always be there for me, too. I love music... I love it so-o-o much! It is a way for me to bear my testimony and share Christ's light through beautiful notes. I think that music truly helps you get closer to the veil and understand God's love for every single one of his children. Christy Lynn

Dancing

Oh, I LOVE dancing soooooo much! I just participated in a dance-off today and had a blast!!! SOOOO FUN! I urge everybody to get up right now and just dance- Dance your little heart out!

My Love for the Music

Guys are confusing and extremely weird, but that has nothing to do with this post. I'm teaching a song to our Young Women at our church. I feel like that through my music, I can shine my light and express my testimony in beautiful, emotional ways. I love the idea of different notes combining to create the most lovely pieces. I want to focus on my music for the next few months and see what I can learn and improve in. :D Christy Lynn

Good Memories

Advanced Acting

So, this week I had an audition to get into the class of... "Advanced Acting." My audition was supposed to be a scene with a partner from Greek Theater. My partner and I chose a scene from "Seven Against Thebes." I played Antigone, and she played Ismene. Well, basically two sisters are mourning the deaths of their brothers in a kind of chant-like fashion. I made my character very emotional and a pinch of a crazy side. Well, both my partner and I made the class! YAY! Now the new 2013-2014 school year will be fun with the best class ever!!! :D Christy Lynn P.S. Our script: ANTIGONE [957] You were struck as you struck. ISMENE [957] You died as you killed. ANTIGONE [958] By the spear you killed— ISMENE [959] By the spear you died— ANTIGONE [960] Your deed made you wretched. ISMENE [961] You suffering made you wretched. ANTIGONE [962] Let the lament come. ISMENE [963] Let the tears come. ANTIGONE [964] You are laid out for mourning— ISMENE [965] Though you did the killing. ANTIGONE [966] Ah me! ISMENE [966] Ah me! ANTIGONE [967] My heart is mad with wailing. ISMENE [968] My heart groans within me. ANTIGONE [969] Ah, the grief, brother all-lamentable. ISMENE [970] And you also, brother all-wretched. ANTIGONE [971] You perished at the hands of your nearest and dearest. ISMENE [972] And you killed your nearest and dearest. ANTIGONE [973] Twofold to tell of— ISMENE [974] Twofold to look upon— ANTIGONE [975] Are these sorrows so close to those. ISMENE [976] Fraternal sorrows stand close by fraternal sorrows. CHORUS [977] O Fate, giver of grievous troubles, and awful shade of Oedipus, black Erinys, you are indeed a mighty force. ANTIGONE [980] Ah, me ISMENE [980] Ah, me ANTIGONE [981] Sorrows hard to behold— ISMENE [982] He showed me when he returned from exile. ANTIGONE [983] But he made no return after he had killed. ISMENE [984] He was saved, but lost his life. ANTIGONE [985] He lost it, all too truly. ISMENE [986] And took this one's life away. ANTIGONE [987] Wretched family! ISMENE [988] Wretched suffering! ANTIGONE [989] Kindred sorrows full of groans! ISMENE [990] Sorrows steeped in tripled griefs. CHORUS [991] O Fate, giver of grievous troubles, and awful shade of Oedipus, black Erinys, you are indeed a mighty force. ANTIGONE [994] Now you know of the Erinys by experience— ISMENE [995] And you are made aware no later— ANTIGONE [996] When you came back to our city. ISMENE [997] Yes, to face him with your spear. ANTIGONE [998] A tale of destruction! ISMENE [999] Destruction to look upon! ANTIGONE [1000] Oh, the grief— ISMENE [1001] Oh, the evils— ANTIGONE [1002] For home and land. ISMENE [1003] Above all for me, ANTIGONE [1004] And more also for me. ISMENE [1005] Ah I pity your grievous suffering, my king. ANTIGONE [1006] Pity for you both, most lamentable of all men. ISMENE [1007] You were possessed by delusion. ANTIGONE [1008] Where shall we lay them in the earth? ISMENE [1009] Ah, where their honor is greatest. ANTIGONE [1010] To lie beside their father, a cause for him of sorrow.

Do These Inspire You?

These pictures excite me- knowing that I'm on my way towards my dream...

Standards

So, I made "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." The thing is, I went to the read-through... Well, I felt very uncomfortable listening to the story line. I know how emotionally fragile I am at this point in time (for weird reasons), so being constantly surrounded by something that I feel is inappropriate would drain me- I would literally break. I quit the show, but it had NOTHING to do with the department, or the people... I promise I will still do theater. I love it too much to quit. :D Christy Lynn
