19/10 continued...

To contiue my previous thought...
The Hamlet and Ophelia scene morphed in to the final scene, which traditionally it a sword fight between Hamlet adn Laertes, where all of the charaters even the dead were sitting around the dinner table. They did very styalized movements as Gertrude drank the poison then the focused shifted from to Hamlet and Cladio they went around the table and with there bare hand pushed each characters head down on the table to show their death. Each killed the people who he had a hand in their death. This final scene gave such a clear message of consequences and split the blame between Hamlet and Cladio. There was so much about this show that was wonderful but the most ispiring things was how they engaged your head and your heart. As I talked about it with my peers everyone had an intellectual take, did the director mean to make it seem that Hamlet was mad, how bad was Cladio, ect and everyone felt it in there gut. It was so moving and solitified my belief as acting as a tool for a better life. Consequence, guilt, responsiblity and love were all things that I took from this show.
On a completly opposite note, my health isn't doing very well. My stomache has been acting up and everything I eat makes me sick. My arms are also in pain, they are getting a lot stronger but it hurts. Finally because of my arms I popped my sholdered today and pulled a few muscles, it is starting to feel better but I was in a lot of pain for most of the day.
Classes are wonderful like usual. We have three etude's due tomorrow all based off of chekhov. My Ivnov project is due Friday and we get our final scenes tomorrow!!!!! I'm busy like usual but I trying to add additional working out to my routine although with how little sleep I get at night it is hard to want to do Pilates in the morning. Hope that everyone is well in the States.
Love,
