Yesterday, while at the set of TNT's movie "Blank Slate", most of us were sooooo bored out of our minds. After doing two scenes with Eric Stoltz and some actresses I don't recognize, everyone at the extras holding were so tired of waiting ... hoping that a crew would come in soon and call it a wrap or call us to do another scene ... anything, just anything to get out of the boredom. But instead we were told that we had to wait another 2-3 hours for the final scene! Uuugh!
So we were there sitting ... going crazy from boredom ... at least, I was going crazy -- I don't know about the others. I stood up and walked around, partly because my right foot fell asleep from too much sitting and mostly because I was bored! One background actor, Jessica, suggested that I teach her folk dancing. She stood up and I showed her some Chinese folk dance steps. Dickson stood up and joined us ... then Jaron and his wife, Kristin joined us also. Pretty soon, I was teaching them the complete choreograph of a Filipino folk dance, "Alay." Ah, dancing--what it can do to and for you. We danced away our boredom, we had our exercise, ... and most of all, we became friends that night. :)
