Drama Homework 3 Questions

1) Why is it important for an actor to trust the people he/she is working with?

It is important for an actor to trust the people he/she is working with incase they forget their line, that way one of their fellow actors, directors or narrators can help them out. If you are comfortable with the people you are working with and the area it is easier for you to get into character and feel more

2) What was the most difficult aspect of the activities that we did today for you personally?

I found the most difficult aspect of the tourist game was being the traveler from another country because you really had to trust the guide and believe that they would lead you properly across the room without leading you into an inanimate object. The most difficult part of the story game where everyone would take turns continuing the story was trusting the group that they would continue the story without messing it up. Here I notice a common theme that the most difficult thing in this game is “trust” which can actually be a very difficult thing to do if you do not open up.

3) Why are an actor's facial expressions and body movements just as important as the words that they say while they are on stage?

Because that way the audience can understand what is going on better. If an actor says “I hate you” without emotion you might not grasp the concept that they are very angry where as if they are saying it with lots of emotion while being mad and using their body to cope with the actions you can tell that they are very mad.
