I have just received my marks for my second semester of my second year. I did well, obtaining two credits, a distinction and a high distinction. I'm very happy by this as it now passed my average over to a distinction average rather than a borderline credit/distinction.

I would like to dedicate this post to the talented Na, as I would like to show off the two masks I made for the Northbridge festival that I promised I would in one of her posts about puppetry.

I, as well as 17 others in my year at Uni, made two masks and did an intensive workshop period over 5 weeks with the very talented Deborah Hunt, mask performer specialist, from Porta Rica.

At the end of the 5 weeks, we performed for half an hour in the Northbridge festival on two semi-trailers, then walked down the streets from the corner of Lake and James streets to the Rechibites (sp?) Hall, in our big masks. A very awesome sight I was told.

The two masks made was a "humaniod" small mask and a "strange council" large mask. Here are my two:
Small mask - Chadweena, The Queen

What an end to my crazy 4 characters in 4 weeks massive hike!

A highly physical performance as Kiara in Mad World, then Cassandra - the doomed seerer princess in Agamemnon, then a stranded wife by an earthquake as Marcia in Quake, and just this evening an overweight girl; Bernice in Cookies, Cake and Chocolate for storm the stage.

I am lucky in so many ways. I am at university getting a degree in something I love - BA of Contemporary Performance, and I've been lucky enough to be involved with heaps of productions in the last two years (since graduating from high school).
