Acting workshop day 4. Today we did more of visualizing than last time (I like calling them meditations). We learned that there's a mask (what you show to the world), a lower self (the bad side of you), and a higher self (why you're here). We also learned that verbs lead to feelings. I found it a coincidence that he mentioned masks since at the poetry celebration on Monday, my poem was about masks (and also a coincidence, Sarah's was too)!
I think I'm opening up a little, but I still need to be more relaxed in order to improv. (and act) better...
-I'm putting this into my response, but in the beginning of the Charlie Chaplin movie I was reminded of the workshop when there was just noises instead of actual dialouge since we were doing that in some of our improvs also...!
What did you think of City Lights?
ReplyDeleteI really liked it. It was funny, but at the same time it had a serious side to it.
ReplyDeleteRainer and I watched it last night - his first Chaplin - he loved it.
ReplyDeleteAll of Chaplin's films have a deeper side to them, which is one of the reasons they're so good and have held up so well.
