Aussie Slang Term: to crack it: Verb. To lose your temper; to lose patience with. "To crack the shits" is to have an extremely violent outburst at someone or something. When something "cracks" one, it means a person, object, or activity is actively annoying and frustrating. Every industry has it's own language. Jargon is sometimes fun to use to demonstrate your mental prowess, and it is sometimes a pain in the butt. I can now acknowledge that the shiny newness of some of these VCA words has worn off for me.
**Aesthetics: Every theatre maker needs these. Your Aesthetic defines you. It can be a topic of common VCA Theatre party small-talk. One must be prepared with an aesthetic statement at all times. If you don’t have it sorted out, well… you’d better go crawl under a rock. Otherwise, begin to bullshit.
**Filmic: Common usage: “Your piece had this wonderful filmic quality to it.” I really think it makes more sense to use the term cinematic…
**Sensoral : Having to do with the senses. Common usage: “It had a real…sensoral effect on me.” I think people feel more artistic and intellectual transforming “sensory” into an adjective. I don’t get it.
