Class 2-25-10

So today in Acting Class we did a very physical exercise. We did some Suzuki method stuff in order to develop character and learn ways to create a physical character for our scenes that will be coming up. The exercise started with us just walking around the theatre and then Professor Cirino would say statue and then we would have to freeze into a statue without even thinking about it. It got to the point where I was not even thinking about what statue I was becoming and just went from one statue to the next. The next portion of the exercise consisted with each of us keeping one statue we create and continuing to do that same statue. We then had to create a character out of that statue. This was actually one of the most fulfilling experiences I have had. This was probably one of the first times that I felt completely into a character. This is definitely a method I will be using in the future for developing character. For the next couple of classes, Professor Cirino told us that we would continue to work with these statues and develop them further and then take this exercise into developing our character for the scene.

And on a side note, the Vagina Monologues at SDSU opens tomorrow. I am the light board operator for it and the show is going great. Tomorrow should be amazing also.

I also have my first rehearsal for Midsummer next monday which I am super excited about and the two films that I am in should start to be shooting fairly shortly.
