Notes On "Visit to a Small Planet"

-
A play is a world shown in front of audiences. It also has time and spaces, so an exclusive perspective may not understand through the whole play. To see the entire world, everyone should make this planet in a proper size in order to not lose any details.
Time, climate, mood, space are several basic pieces of information about this planet, which is same as the real world.

How do figures appear on this planet?
How do figures dress on this planet?
How do figures interact? By fighting? Reasoned discussion?
Who has power on this planet?
In what kinds of patterns do the figures on this planet arrange themselves?
What are the language habits on this planet?
Those are the questions that mention in part 2, basically, they are discussing the interactions of characters in the planet.

Squint one last time. Putting together space, time, the natural world and the social world.

All of the changes you discover will, of course, contribute to and reflect on character, but each trajectory should be seen as a signifying system on its own.

Ask yourself about every day's changes in reality.

The internal system of dramatic worlds is not only having interactions, it also reacts with the outside world.

Two years course is a long run, but it impresses me more than the other classes I have taken in Cheshire Academy. Before I took this class, I thought acting is easy like until we tried to improvise various moves and gestures in front of people. I felt shy and embarrassed at the beginning, throughout two years' performance, and I became more and more confident to act in front of people and cameras. The class is called literature and performance so the other essential aspect is its literature. I still remembered the first book we read and the first performance, which is the monologue we played in the black box.  Fences talk about poverty and situations of African Americans. From the book, I felt how the power from people themselves explain the anger and uns...

The poem I chose

A Final Goodbye ©  Betty Janko Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. Perhaps up to heaven, maybe eternity, Or be reborn as another, when I am set free. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone. I was a survivor since my first breath was drawn. I loved and was loved by animals, and man, Siblings, friends and strangers, since my life began. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. I leave all of you with my love, and I pray That our souls will touch once again, someday.
