09.30.2002 || 23h47 Acting Class bitchitude... Anyway, she's been nothing but short with me all semester, curt and intolerant of the fact that I find her intimidating to act with. I do. She doesn't have any of that typical WASP retardation pertaining to being touched onstage, and she's got a helluva lot of presence. That doesn't always translate into good acting, of course, but I never said she rocked. Anyway, to-night, she escalated the attack on poor cf in a way that surprised me and enraged Hudson Girl when I mentioned it later. Before I go any further, let me explain something to anyone out there who is not of the thespian persuasion: One does *not* fuck with an actor who is getting into character. Period. It's what is known as a 'No-no.' Anyway, 'Stella' and 'Blanche' are meeting onstage and going through the scene just before 'Stanley' enters the house. I'm sitting on the arm of a couch just off of Stage Right with my head down, centring myself and getting into character. There's a part where Blanch goes to the door and looks out, then goes back inside to insult her sister a bit. So, Bitch Goddess comes up to the door, and without even pausing in her lines, leans over to me and snaps her fingers about a centimetre from my nose, nicely popping me right back out of character from the shock of it. Of course, I didn't have time to get back in before I had to walk onstage... She's as beautiful as the sun, and as evil as they come. Hudson Girl and I went for food after class to discuss the treatment of our film. I brought Bitch Goddess and her crap up because I'm utterly mystified as to why Bitch Goddess keeps going after me. I have never been anything other than nice with her. Hudson Girl hates her, as does the Catty Girl with whom I trade notes every time certain 'actors' take the stage. After to-night, Hudson Girl said that there's no way Bitch Goddess is gracing our movie with her face, even though I had written a small part specifically for her. I agree with Hudson Girl; no actor is irreplaceable, and Hudson girl had a good point when she said that Bitch Goddess might spend more energy making sure she looks gorgeous onscreen than she would being sensitive to the character... Oh: I actually got *paid* for directing the play we put on this week-end. Small small small amounts, but it's still a professional direction gig that I can bitchslap into my CV, so I'm happy. At least there was *something* to be happy for... |
