Yo I’m Talk’en here. ( Musical Theatre= Bugsy Melone)

To help us get into the mood of the 1920’s we are finding some catch phrases to understand NY accents and what they say. Here are some that I spotted out with examples.( i’ll Keep adding to it)

“Now you’re on the trolley!”: “Now you’ve gotten it right!” : What Fat Sam wants to say to his gang.

Dumb Dora: an unintelligent woman. :There are some Dumb Dora’s out there.

Cash: a smooch. : Tallulah always wants a cash with Bugsy.

My name is Melone. Bugsy Melone ( A.K.A Musical Theatre= Busy Malone)

Musical Theatre

The year 9-10 have doth been blessed with have another chance of being in the year 7-8 passion projects ( it was called The Arts Kete but it’s changed). At all my years of doing this topic I alway choose Musical Theatre and I’m thankful for that. So this year I chose Musical Theatre again and the Musical we are doing is Bugsy Melone that was set in the 1920’s. 

Back Story: Bugsy Melone was set in the 1920’s as a mafia type of setting were there are guns but in stead of buliets and guns it’s replaced with whipped cream and cannon guns. Characters are : Bugsy,Blousey,Tallulah , Fat Sam, Danny Dan , Louella , and more.

The Character I’m playing is the lead roll, Bugsy Melone. Bugsy is a 15 year old kid where he is stuck in the middle because his father is Irish and his mother is Italian so he can’t choose which culture to identify as. He is a very known to all the people in the town, he’s normally talks to fat Sam, Tallulah and now a new person in his life named Blousey. He is a smooth talker and a nice guy in general.


How to channel that character: You got to have like a New York type of accent, smooth guy, look like a gentleman, be nice and respectful.

Health assessment 

If your boyfriend/Girlfriend told you to send nude pictures to them, and you know you don’t want to , and you know it’s wrong but you also don’t want him to think that you don’t love him anymore.How can you tell them in an assertive way? ( mind my pictures I type it at the bottom of this blog. And the weird photo angles)

 

Extension task : ( can’t spell on my sheet)
If they still pressure you to send them what do u say/ do and why?
.


Here is what I said to question one:
Question one:

• I would say no then give them a reason. Here are the reasons and scenarios.
• Someone else would text them: “Sorry no, because I don’t want to send nudes never, or not this age. I do love you don’t think I never did because I love you. Hopefully you understand.”
• Someone else would talk to them face to face:  “ Sorry I can’t do that because I never want to send nudes at all because that’s not the type of person I am. Don’t think I don’t love you anymore because I love you with all my heart. Hopefully you will understand what I’m saying.”
• Me in text: “ Sorry no, I’m not that type of person. I find it weird showing my body to someone if I’m not married/ not in a solid long relationship with them. I do love you deeply but I just don’t like doing those things. Hopefully you understand.”
• Me Face to Face with them: ( what I said before)

Extension Question:

• I would consider talking  to them more about it because they need to respect your decision because if they don’t then I think you should consider thinking about the relationship because trust, and understanding is one of the keys of a relationship.
