My name is Jessica Jelvin and I currently live a few miles from Gothenburg City in Sweden. I am 20 years old and have my own company 'Jelvin Enterprises', but right now I'm studying acting at Wendelsbergs Folkhögskola, to improve my acting skills and move on to higher levels of acting in Sweden.
Good night peeps! What a crazy day. As you know, Theater Thursday Today. We had to analyze and study two scenes from a play written by a Swedish woman. We started with this play two weeks ago, and have done 6 chapters out of 15 I think it is. I was playing an imagining friend (read: Good conscience) to a man that was frightened to meet his brother again. Another group in my class had a big argument, or dispute, about the two scenes and the chaos began. Poor friends of mine. Thanks for only being a couple of months left before leaving this class to move on up to a better and more focused group of people.
Well, this is how my Swedish class looks like. Compared to the Lucia Train celebration this sucks. But this was actually a good lesson compared to a few others that we have had.
The Students Clowning was awesome! too bad I don’t have any pictures from it. Wouldn’t have been fun watching pictures.
Now the first thing is checked from my short (but good) list on things that is going to happen today; The Lucia train (whatever, it’s called that in Sweden).
We are going to have a Lucia celebration at my school today, which is a big tradition in Sweden, and Europe (i think). It’s going to be a really nice and pleasant day today. Starting of with the Lucia train, moving on to society (don’t worry, I did my homework ;P), and finishing of with something called ‘Student Clowning’, which is some of the students making fun of the teachers at our school.
But we are going to have to watch the ‘Teachers Clowning’ on Wednesday next week, which probably is going to be even worse.
Did my monologue, went well, but not great. I love to perform when I can feel my heart beat so fast, so hard. It is when my acting is on top. All my focus is on the act itself, and nothing else.
It’s a big day today. We are going to show our monologues to our teacher today. The ones that we have been working with for a couple of weeks now. Which I can tell you tight away I haven’t. Because I’ve been so ill that I haven’t even been able to move from my bed. Which sucks.
But I’m going to do my best and I guess I just have to hope for a miracle to happen.
My first class of the day was acting. Good good. We are going to perform a monologue tomorrow, in front of two of our acting teachers, our dance teacher and maybe our mentor.
Since I started practicing this monologue I’ve grown, I’ve started to like it. It is a monologue from a play by Tennessee Williams.
Just got back to my room from my first class for the day. We practiced on our monologues, in a quite different way from what I’m use to, which was great. Thanks B. A great teacher by the way. Our homework is to read the whole story which the monologue is in, hope mine isn’t to long ;) Have a lot to do these days.
As I woke up I felt the wierdest feeling, I thought that I woke up in a room, at a school that I absolutely love. Oh wait, that’s all true!? Still can’t believe that I’m going to make it all happen! Love love love!
Today was theatre Thursday! Awesome. We had three different teachers, the first one in improvisational theatre, second one in movement and the last one we had with B, storytelling is the shit!
I’m so worn out now that I’m going to fall asleep right away.
