scenec scenes

I was a little disappointed that we couldn't think of a good enough scene for class today, I hope that we can make it awesome by the final... I saw the lay today and I liked it a lot. It was very dramatic with a few comedic parts that I liked. I liked that the actors were right next to you in the studio theater and that we could see the action! better. I thought all of the actors were pretty great and liked that the cast seemed to really work well together. overall I really enjoyed the play.

Today we did the ABC exercise again. I still feel like this exercise is quite difficult. I think we could all do this activity if we didn't feel like we were on the spot. After Tuesday's class I played this game with my friends and it seemed much easier. I really enjoy seeing other people's scenes. I feel like I learn so much from the feedback. As other people present I really get into their story and I want to know what happens next. I think it is so interesting that we can take a simple scene with no direction and make it into a complex storyline. Everyone in the class is so creative, it is interesting when they present because it is always something different.

I thought that the exercise we did on Tuesday with the alphabet was really fun. I found it hard to come up with what to say right on the spot, I caught myself thinking about a few before I would just blurt it out. I think that maybe by doing that exercise it can help actors be able to get out their words faster and not get stumped on what they are supposed to say. I think that the groups that went on Tuesday did rather well with their projects. I think it is important to know what your doing and how you are going to say things.

ABC

I enjoyed playing the alphabet game in the beginning of class. I watched the guys on whose line do it plenty of times and was excited to actually do it myself. The one thing that I noticed was that it is a lot harder when you are doing it compared to when you watch it. Fabio and Brianna did a very good job keeping up the flow. I think it would be more helpful if we were given a scene to work with like they do on Whose Line. And Juan, you have a lot of work to do if you want to beat me at whiz bang haha

Tuesday

Hmm... I wasn't there on Tuesday because I forgot to put the volume on my cell phone on anything other than silent. I woke up and had breakfast and then did the blog. Afterward, I laid down to take a nap and then I woke up around 9:50 and was wondering what happened. Anyway, I missed class so I have no idea if I am suppose to post much of anything or what on here. I guess my lesson to learn on the day was that you should always have volume on your cell phone when taking a nap.

Tuesday

On Tuesday in class I agree with everyone else that the alphabet exercise was fun. After watching Fabio and Briana it didn't seem it would be that challenging but it was. It was a lot easier to think of words when you were sitting down and watching but once you get up all the words seem to leave your head. I agree with Juan that this exercise could be used in many different setting. Also I enjoyed watching Paige and Renee's scene because I thought it was rather funny.
