*Sigh*
Today's practice was more exhausting than usual for some reason...
But it was also really good since we got so much done...
(I think we have Tsukasa to thank for that...)
“I do not know.
I am no swordsman, nor do I possess the strength to break stone.”
“At the same time, how long has this feeling lingered within me...?”
“This inexplicable compulsion to protect the world. It feels as though it has been branded into my soul...”
(After just a few days of attending that workshop, Tsukasa learned how to act in such a convincing manner...)
(Come to think of it, he sort of had to learn acting all on his own up to this point.)
(And yet, despite never being part of a theatre group or learning from experienced actors before, he's able to put on these incredible performances playing the lead role.)
(He improved so much after working with Asahi too. If he receives formal training on top of that...)
No, there's still the possibility that the director running Tsukasa's workshop is just really good at what they do...
A workshop, huh...?
(It reminds me of how much fun I had with my theatre group when I was little. It's like I got to make a new discovery each time I went...)
(Then, I got to be the lead...and...)
(No, I'm not scared of going on stage anymore. I have the others behind me.)
(But is that because I know they're performing alongside me...?)
(What happens when I have to go on stage with people I don't know...?)
(Yikes... I'm already sort of afraid of meeting a bunch of new people all at once... I feel like I'd freeze up or something...)
*Sigh*
But it's not like I'm completely uninterested in attending one of those workshops.
...
Maybe I should practice introducing myself a bit...
Something normal...
Nothing like the weird one Tsukasa did.
Um...
My name is Nene Kusanagi. I'm looking forward to working with you.
Oh, I should probably say, “It's nice to meet you,” somewhere... Also, where I work and stuff...
My name is Nene Kusanagi. It's nice to meet you. I perform in shows at Phoenix Wonderland as a member of the cast.
...
(Uh oh...
What do I say after that part...?)
Um... My hobbies, I guess?
*Sigh*
(I tried looking online for some good ways to introduce myself, but I don't think any of them will work for me...)
(I can probably talk about the shows I've seen and done just fine... But those workshops usually involve having discussions...)
(Plus, doing a show with a big group isn't just about acting. You have to talk and get to know each other...)
*Sigh*
Having to meet new people to do shows with them is probably the worst part of theatre for me...
(But Tsukasa's working really hard, so I should...)
Oh, I know...
Found it!
Thank goodness...
The notebook I kept when I was still with my old theatre group was right where I left it.
(Most of what I wrote is pretty fundamental, but I might be able to learn something new by going back through it...)
(I'll start by reviewing everything in here...)
Let's begin...!
