Ivy nodded in understanding. Feeling ill was definitely understandable in response to nerves, especially when doing something in front of a lot of people, so Ingrid definitely wasn't alone. "I get that. Just don't be afraid to close your eyes and take deep breaths, yeah?" That often helped her when she felt overwhelmed.

But now they were being split into their different groups, and...it seemed the third year had decided to go with Professor Peralta's group instead of being on stage, which was fine! "Break a leg! You too Evan!" She sent them both a thumbs up before joining the Headmaster's group at the front.

She was excited to watch what everyone else had prepared, or what they did on the spot with one of the provided scripts. And no matter what, she was going to clap after each one. Everyone deserved applause and support, especially if they'd never done this before.

And she was immediately delighted when Gracelyn began with Shakespeare. And Lisa was portraying Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream! And then Fiona was also taking inspiration from Shakespeare! Ivy was very much a fan of all of it.

And Kinsay! Even though she looked so nervous, it was so neat to see her find her voice as the scene went on.

And then...Kale. It was easy to believe his performance would be incredible, and, well, it absolutely was. Though her face was a bright pink the entire time after that wink he'd thrown her. Her heart was racing too, but that was probably just because of all the energy and excitement and laughter, right? Um, yeah, definitely.

Thank Merlin her name still hadn't been called because Ivy's mind was all over the place.

Cece performing so well as Alice was a great change of pace. And then Nemesis Upstead of all people was up there performing a scene from Beauty and the Beast. That was...interesting. And unexpected.

But it at least got her head back into the game, so she was prepared to be immensely delighted again when Faye brought them back to Shakespeare again. And A Midsummer Night's Dream's Helena at that! Fantastic!

And then Teddy gave a stirring recital of a poem. And Phoebe and Ollie had such fun monologues from Muggle films. And she wasn't sure if Darius' was from something, but he gave a great performance regardless!

Ivy Grimm.

Oh wait - it was her turn already? She'd gotten so caught up in everyone else performances by this point, applauding after each one, she'd almost forgotten she was going to have to go up soon too.

But she felt ready. She was calmer now, but she took a deep breath anyway as she made her way to the stage.

"Hi!" She smiled, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. "I'm Ivy, and I'll also be performing one of Helena's monologues from A Midsummer Night's Dream." No self-consciousness about doing something from the same play as others had done. They all had their own style, after all! And it was a different monologue than the previous two.

Her smile faded, her face taking on a more somber expression. "How happy some o'er other some can be! Through Athens I am thought as fair as she." A brief pause, a small defeated shrug. "But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so. He will not know what all but he do know. And as he errs, doting on Hermia’s eyes," a bit wistful now, "So I, admiring of his qualities."

And now her expression was more thoughtful, and she paced back and forth, fiddling with her hands and speaking as if thinking aloud. "Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity: Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind: Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste," her words picked up a little in speed, and a little bit frustrated, "And therefore is Love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguiled. As waggish boys in game themselves forswear, So the boy Love is perjured every where."

She paused again, and her pace slowed, sadness and hurt on her face. "For ere Demetrius look'd on Hermia's eyne, He hail'd down oaths that he was only mine; And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt... So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt."

A few seconds of silence. And then her expression changed, more alert, as if a lightbulb appeared over her head. "I will go tell him of fair Hermia's flight: Then to the wood will he to-morrow night Pursue her; and for this intelligence If I have thanks, it is a dear expense," a brief pause, as if reconsidering, but then continuing, "But herein mean I to enrich my pain, To have his sight thither and back again." A hand on her heart, and looking as if she were grasping for the slightest bit of hope that Demetrius would love her...

Aaaand scene.

"Thanks!" Ivy smiled again then hurried back to her seat.

That was fun!
