confusing acting techniques…
alright. we’re supposed to create the character within ourselves using chain of thought techniques, then select movements, gestures and speech techniques to articulate our character? so the emotions we should display are carefully selected from our own bank of emotions and we internalise characters to act out our parts. hmmm…
today’s acting exercise is an interesting one. at first i was a little lost, but after a while i got engrossed in it. we were supposed to move through our character, how he/she feels and what we would do if we were him/her. we internalised the character, forming memories which never existed within ourselves, thoughts which never occured before and gestures which we normally do not do. quite an overwhelming experience! the play is a little confusing, though, and the lectures are a tad too boring. haha. but acting’s still fun. for now.
