Presentations' Reflection
Through the presentations in this week, I learned a lot of techniques and theories from my classmates' presentations. To be honest, I liked most of them. Moreover, there are several parts in the presentation. In the beginning, a majority of students would like to add a page to introduce the career or main events of the director or actor they chose. At this part, I like the Uta Hagen by David D the most, since he divided the main events in a time order and introduced some activities in her life briefly, which brought me into the topic rapidly.
Before I started to do this presentation, I assumed that choosing an activity or a video would not cause a big diversity which means the majority of people would choose either video or activity, but the choices are balanced. I saw a lot of interesting activities and a lot of practical videos. Cassidy's activity attracted me, she decided to combine the video and game together in order to guide us to understand the meaning of the activity. It was a game about leading the other person to imitate your actions after I played that game I found that it is practicing actors' abilities to reflect and to follow the other's rhythm in acting. To express a fluent play to the audience, it is important that insisting a certain atmosphere and converting to the next atmosphere with the progress of the story. It taught me a lot, and I felt the passion of her to do this activity. Learning through her activity, I began to notice how to corporate with my partner. When your partner expresses his emotions and actions to you, it will be your turn to deliver it to the next line.
At the part of techniques, I thought I left a regret to the work of Michael Chekhov. I read many articles reflecting his influence on the acting, and I started to expand my visions of acting to a new stage. Michael Chekhov advocates people to do more body movements or act freely. He claimed that every pace or move of a person is communicating with the world, Even though every single person is small as related to the world. Blowing the air, I am not only blowing the air but also blowing the space. Left, right, up, down, front, and back are six directions indicating how do people move. The way of Michael Chekhov defining it is encouraging people to extend their body as free as they can, it is such a big comparison to the conservative acting theories. The courage and genius of him also push me forward in acting, then I would like to make some new changes to my acting style.
Moreover, I was interested in the grace's activity. One of her activities simulated a scene of picking up a phone call. Also, her activity reflected the main theme of Viola Spolin's style. Everyone is making their own scene and own conversations, at the same time, we are deciding how to show the outline of the dialog without the voice of the other character. It seems like an activity teaching you how to react to your partner on the stage, but I think it is teaching you how to highlight yourself under the chosen environment. All in all, presentations improve actually broaden my horizons on the acting, they gave me different directions to enhance my skills.
