Monday 20/2/2012

I skipped last friday's post because everybody performed their skits. #likeaboss.


Today as Monday, the 2 separate classes merges. Monday is the only day to merge. I kinda enjoyed today's lesson because it just got a little more in-depth, including breathing exercises, tapping each other's butt, and the 'choose-a-partner-and-provide-response-to-them exercise.

For me, the most significant activity today was the butt-touching one. One must touch the partner's butt without getting your own butt touched by your partner, but the catch was you have to taunt with your butt to your partner, providing an opening. Then in the midst of it, Rey changes the mood of the scenes, examples like doing it slow motion, fast-motion, ballade-style, sexily, and angrily. This is significant to me because I learnt that the butt-touching was like activities on a stage. To create a scene, one must give and take, provide openings and opportunities for the other actor, as well as grasping the opportunities given the openings of the other actor. I conclude that this activity was a form of chemistry that one must harness between oneself and with other actors.


Note to self: Next class will be a 1 minute ++ monologue phone conversation. This is our first ever monologue scene. I hate writing the beat sheet, because I'll never understand it.


Another enrichment detail to keep: Laughter spoils acting.


Yours truly,
Josh
