Loose Ends

Finished up The Rhinoceros today, finally. If I can remember correctly, we started the Theatre of the Absurd movie before we left on winter break. After having the opportunity to research the subject matter of the movie, the ending made so much more sense as the protagonist vowed that he would never give in. In declaring this, the protagonist is ultimately saying that he will never give into the rhinos, a symbolism of Communism. Without the research, I would have never realized this allusion/

After we finished the movie, we got to go on stage and help with some last-minute touch ups for the show. Mainly it was just repainting chairs and tables so that the audience wouldn't see the wood underneath.

Our pantomime to music is now postponed to Thursday. It was quite a challenge for me to decide on anything today. For the longest time I felt as though I was tied to a certain song, trying to think up the most ridiculous pantomime to fit the song. Considering that it came from a movie soundtrack, I just kept playing the scene over and over again in my head. I couldn't think of doing anything else besides what was in the movie. Definitely feel more comfortable with the new song. I was actually able to create an interesting pantomime. We'll see how it goes on Thursday.
