Dream 74: Show reel
My friend KB wanted to show me what she was going to put on a show reel. I went to her house to watch a rehearsal. It was in a room that was a large vestibule between the other rooms. It had a raised area that was like a stage with a step up all around a kind of large loop shape. I remember thinking how ideal it was for putting on a performance, although there was very little space for a seating area. I wondered why the room was not used as a lounge area but then there was another room which was the lounge. So KB started preparing for her role. She was dressed as the character but looked very much like she does in real life only with darker hair.
She started to perform the part. It was going well but then on a screen to the side was a film version that she'd made. In the film she had blond hair which was shaved short in the middle from the forehead to part way back. Then the sides and back of the head were long thick locks pulled into a loose pony tail. She was heavily made up complete with false beauty spot and had long fancy painted nails. She was absolutely the part and relishing playing the character. I kept looking at the film and trying see if it was really KB. Even the shape of her face had changed, but then I'd catch expressions that were hers. It was very mesmerising and I was switching back and forth between her on stage rehearsing and the film and trying to workout how she could recreate the film in 'real life'.
