THE UNIQUE LIFE OF J.S.TRENCH

Allo, Mes Amies ;



The wait, the wait, the wait, Thursday the 10th of June; I began my wait for the MMVAS, and boy was that an experience. We initially got there around 7pm, and that is when the experience started . Before, I go any further I am going to explain what the MMVAS is ?, and what the wait is. ok first the MMVAS is the Muchmusic Video Awards, and to the Americans reading this Much music is like the Canadian MTV. Dont worry its not tacky either ! so let me just get into who is suppose to show up at this award show: Snooki and Pauly D from 'Jersey Shore', Drake, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Kristin Cavallari from 'The Hills' , Whitney Port from 'The Hills' and 'The City', and plenty more celebs . SOUNDS FUN RIGHT !? ok so what the wait is ,what this exactly is.. is people come like 2 or 3 days before and they bring their sleeping bags, and tents and they camp out side of muchmusic, waiting to get wristbands for this award show. So we got there thursday night ( we as in my friends and I ) , and we were 463. Mind you though people were there from Wednesday morning. which is utterly ridiculous, because its exam time i can not miss 3 days of school. So we did this mini - camp out with our neon coloured tent, and that was a cool experiences. Initially Much music told us they were giving out the wristbands on saturday morning at 8 am; but because the police had a problem with so many tents , and so forth they made us take down our tents, and also because it was suppose to rain and we have no tents they switch the date to the friday before, and gave it to us on the friday at 6pm instead. To me as an aspiring actress, this was a life learning experience, and I also learned some new feelings for a method acting character as a homeless person. Walking around looking scruffy with tents, sleeping bags, and pillows and so forth really opened my eyes on the simple things homeless people go through daily.

Where the blood mixes a play by Kevin Loring about the struggles, trials and tribulations within the aboroginal community conquers the opinions of critics and challenges the audience minds. Although some may understand the meaning behind the production, it can also leave a question mark amongst the thoughts of many others.

This show had an intricate plot with subtle but, clever costume and settings . In return it made the play in my opinion much more worthwhile. The actors throughout watching 'Where The Blood Mixes" you can clearly tell was a good choice. They brought personality, and a sense of creativity to who they are portraying. The actor that played Mooch that goes by the name of Ben Cardinal you could tell was the best in drawing away from his normal self, because during the talk back I could easily tell that he was nothing like Mooch . For example, He wasnt whiny , and he didn't drag or extend his words; like a person that is whining does. To audience members watching, and analyzing the productions every move to guarantee they get there moneys worth; it authentically proved committment from his part. He was fuuny , and I believe that although the play did not mainly take place around him; he took the shine.



When talking about aggressive characters I think that would go to Floyd played by Bill Merasty. This attribute, owned up to the characteristics of this role. He was a angry,and discontent with the world; ever since his wife deceased. He feels that since shes gone, and since his daughter got taken away at a young age, he should give up all hope on life, and what it has to offer. But, throughout where the blood mixes, his personality shifts into a more happy life, once his daughter comes back, and addresses him .


The lighting was quite interesting , the main lighting was a faded lighting lighting , which is simple. Then came the intriguing lighting which was when, the director wanted to showcase the different symbols, and its relevance. All the lights would shut off, and a spotlight would shine on the background ;with a distinctive symbolization. The lights definetly set the scene, and the mood . The lights were low, and solemn to show the fact that the play was very sad. When it came down to makeup, and realism this play did that. There was no make -up and no big setting, but just genuine, and in the moment acting which I adored. Not only was there simple makeup, but there was manageable costume also.

The music was rendered in a unique manner; which in return left me compelled. In my opinion the musc through out the show reminded me of a musical. Although many would argue, my opinion differs from theirs. The music was not the catchy pop music a musical plays ; but the constant flow of acoustic flare and instrumental add-ins set that tone. The music was played to the viewers from a corner of the stage on a guitar. It which for the bar scenes they made it seem like it was a live performance, but then the all the others were depicted as ambiance music.



This pleasant creation in all honor, and glory deserves the governor general award that it recieved.
