FREDRIK SCHEIKE

I'm not dead, I'm just sleepy! Or something. As a matter of fact I've been pretty preoccupied lately. The last couple of weeks in New York were super busy. I think I counted that I slept for 4 hours per night in between shoots, school, Mom and A visiting, rehearsals, readings and performances. It was hectic and I didn't have too much time over for my visitors, but I had a blast. And it was SOOO worth it. I graduated on the 12th of May and spent the last couple of days shooting and getting everything together. I left New York on the 17th of May to spend almost 2 months back home. And now, that time is almost up! I had barely landed and when I got driven straight off to Grandma who have been doing a little so and so over the past couple of months. But she lighted up as soon as she saw me which was a delight and a relief. I spent a little less than a week at Mom's place in Uppsala before I headed home, home to my home, Östersund. I had been promised by...

After a long day of rehearsing and preparing yesterday, me and my classmates all exploded, melted down and went abusive in a room. Because frankly, that's what the Meisner-technique really helps you do. It gets you so much more in contact with your emotions that you're just able to take anything and everything personally. You open up and you're able not only to act more fully, but to live more fully. We all got great compliments afterwards from the people that came and watched us. But also one of the greatest compliments was that people had to leave halfway through, shaking their heads. They can't handle it, that means we've touched upon something so human. Some people cried, some people were completely chocked and some people looked pale. It's not easy when it comes to real emotion, it's not! It's much easier to switch off than it is to be open and honest with what you, and others feel, isn't it? I'm currently trying the hardest...

Wow, never did I think that these last few weeks would be so absolutely smashed with stuff. I just shot my final film scene, have my Meisner-presentation tomorrow, Improv-presentation next week, I got two BIG scenes to learn for my scene study performance in three weeks - I'm also currently involved in two film thesis-projects and a full-length play of which I'm also "music director". Plus, I've written, together with a friend, a film that we want to shoot in May. I've had a hellish week where I've not been feeling good at all, with multiple panic anxiety attacks due to stress but now I've managed to calm down quite a bit. I needed to organize everything and now I believe I'm on top of the MAJOR workload that lies ahead of me. Welcome to the industry I guess, huh? In fun news, my cousin's in town this weekend - all the way up till Tuesday, my room mate leaves for two weeks on Monday, my Mom's flying in 9 days (!!) and A is soon com...

Well, I know, the last few updates I've done have been really boring. It's coming, trust me. There's just so much going on right now. I'm basically in school everyday and rehearsing every night.
