Skydive
hey everyone!
this is donna.kabonna.anteena!
well, on Saturday Darren, Donna, Daniela, Jeetpal, JC, Sukleen, stephanie, Alexa, Ron, and I went to a show called Skydive.
It kinda made me bored during the show, and i almost almost fell asleep! good thing i didnt!
the show was held at Arts Club Granville Island Stage.
all of us were sitting in row M 16.
the show was about 2 brothers skydiving....and one of them tries to face his fears. The one who tries to facs his fears always has dreams. The other brother named Morgan (in the show) is the oldest and he helps his brother overcome his fears...
After the show all of us voted and rated the show. it was between 5-0
i mostly rated between 3-0.....since i didnt really like it........

anyways.........

the neighborhood surrounding the school

Don the Liar

We went to see singer Don McGlashan.

Here's some vintage stuff from him:


The Jury took great issue with the fact that the show's running time was advertised as 90 minutes, when really he went well over 2 hours, which made it tough for us since he was finishing as the Jury's parents were waiting at the school parking lot in Surrey, about 45 minutes away. We sneaked out, missing the encore and quickly made a flurry of phone calls, which smoothed everything out. The Jury dubbed him "Don the Liar" for exceeding his 90 minutes.

While we sat there, glancing at our watches, waiting for Don to get tired of singing, some of the Jury grew antsy and started to amuse themselves by cheering enthusiastically and chatting to each other, both activities drawing the scornful attention of a couple of audience members who wanted their McGlashan pure. To paraphrase a Jury member: "if you want to listen to music without some honest audience feedback, throw on a cd and stay at home."

They're watching you...

"One of the neat things that happens at PuSh is the Children's Choice Awards, awards handed out by a group of elementary school kids from Surrey.  They get ferried around to all the performances and sure enough, they turned up at Siren.  The kids enjoyed almost getting their heads lopped off by whirling loudspeakers, bobbing around to distort the sound and pulsing their fingers over their ears.  I think this one was a hit."

funny kids

Sherrie Johnson asked me, "what funny things have the kids said?" and I felt weird, like the project were about asking people to check out the funny kids who say crazy things. I understood what she was interested in - I'm interested in it too - but, pausing to think for a second, the project, for me, is about the quality of our life experience when an attempt is made to bring children into the mix as equals - not that we're ever going to be successful. And that, yes, kids are uniquely equipped to say funny things, but, most importantly, what does it mean for us nonkids, to accept those funny things as a norm. In Australia we got on some people's nerves because the kids squirmed around and whispered during some performances - well, what did you expect, they're kids! Learning how to incorporate the presence of fidgety children saying funny things, even when we're doing the serious stuff - like dramatic acting - is, to me, an interesting thing to attempt.

meeting and greeting

I make it a point of meeting all the parents, thinking that they would like to have a little eye contact with the guy who is going to be taking their kids on a long van ride. But it does feel ridiculous. It feels so formal. I guess that's what it is. But it's worth laughing at, as Valerie proved when I stepped up to meet her mom. "You shake all the parents hands," She said. "Yeah," I said "I know."
