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

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.
