Acting workshop day 2.

Today we learned that you can use your imagination to make your physical self respond (ex. imagining a happy scenario would make you smile while imagining a scary scenario would possibly make you tremble). I got really depressed when we imagined a sad scenario, and it was hard to pull myself out of it until much later. I admit, it was uncomfortable to be so sad in front of everyone, but others I could see reacted in similar ways, so I wonder if they felt that way also.


Interesting point said during the workshop: -If you try to hold back what you're feeling it'll stick with you, but if you just feel how you are feeling, then it'll be done and gotten over with.

-Would you call acting manipulating your emotions...?


an odd thing: -I decided to check out a super hero cartoon (Justice League), and now I'm seeing superhero references everywhere. For example, in two days, superheroes popped up three times! (when I was buying art supplies for the painting workshop, there were mannequins painted to look like spiderman, superman etc. on the shelf behind the counter...the day after that, Sarah was talking about an idea for the bully commercial about a student superhero (?) like superman...the period after that, in band, a superman reference was made...)
