I felt that today’s activities were very helpful and proactive because it let me experience acting with my body language as well as my facial expressions. The tightrope walk and the garbage walk helped me to figure out my movement and how I wanted to act them out. I feel that it improved my skills and I hope we do other activities like that in the near future.
I feel most confident in the slow motion actions because I find exaggerating to be fun and helpful. I enjoyed this exercise because while I act out motions at a slow pace it helps me as I act at a regular speed. I feel that the games and exercise we have been doing in class are very good acting techniques that will definitely come in handy.
The activity that challenged me the most difficult was the tight rope walk because you had to really imagine that you were walking 100 feet above the ground on a non-stable platform that you could easily fall off of. I had to use my entire body and pretend to loose my balance and walk very slowly; at one point in time I really did loose my balance.
I believe that as you are trying to get well known in the acting field you start off with movement drills and activities because as you are performing in a play you will be able to use your face and body more actively and be able to trust your surroundings and the people you are acting with.
