I noticed today how hard it was not not know who is leading the mirror game. It wasn't quite like taking turns, it was more like trying to move one of those quiji boards with the letters that spell out the name of your high school crush or tell you if you're going to win the lottery. (OK, not quite like that) I was trying not to think too hard about what was going to happen next but it was hard. I liked the part of class where we did something and people joined in. I am a better joiner than starter because I couldn't think of anything. good class

Leadership

I thought our mirror exercises and discussion on leadership was very good. In most things I do, I consider myself a leader. Whenever we have group projects, I am usually the person who makes sure we are getting everything done. In the mirror exercise, it is very important to not always be the leader. I liked when Professor Polanco said that five actors working together are going to perform a better play than if one of the actors is trying to be the leader and the other four actors are following him. This got me thinking that for the next group project I have to do, I should not step up to be the leader and see what happens. I am sure that the other group members would think of better ideas all working together compared to just using my ideas for the project.

I have acted in many plays since I was in fourth grade and I have never realized some of the things that we are learning. I knew that you had to react off of others but I just never thought so hard into it. Watching movies it is easy to pick out bad acting but im sure many can do that. I think it is a lot easier to act with props and words but I do think that what we are doing in class will help a lot.

Acting and Such

As many other, I, too, have been watching the acting in movies/TV shows/etc. lately ever since I began this class. It's interesting how many tips you can pick up on just by focusing on the acting of what you are watching. It definitely gives you good and bad examples of how to express certain emotions or how to react in various situations.

I feel that taking this class was a really good decision for me. I have done a little bit of acting (high school shows, community theater, etc.) in the past but I have never actually taking an acting class. It is really interesting to me to use what I have learned from the past and to combine it with the new things that I am learning. I think this class will help me grow as an actress and will definitely help me should I decide to do any more shows in the future.

Acting

I have notice how well actors are able to control their emotions during a scene. The way that they can make themselves so their emotions is amazing. It seems to me that being able to cry would be a really hard thing to do. But the actors do such a great job at it that it is hard to realize that they are still acting. I also like when actors act like they're trying to act. I remember the Woody Allen epidsode on Seinfeld where Kramer tries to figure out the best way to say, "These pretzels are making me thirsty."
