2nd day of Theatre Class

10 February 2012 ( Friday)


Today is the 2nd day of Theatre class and I told myself that I'll not be late again! And I feel myself today quite efficient, took the 7am bus and arrive at campus around 7.30am. HAHA! And a small Loacker chocolate bar for my breakfast.

8am SHARP!! Class starts and seems like most of them are gonna be late for class. Mr. Rey is starting to mark attendance. Luckily some of them manage to came in fast and 1 thing that is very surprise. A male student came in and Mr. Rey asks him whether is he in this class and he answer YES, Mr. Rey asks him whether is his 1st day in class when he wants to answer, Mr. Rey scolds him about his lateness, so innocent. Honestly, I didn't see him before in the 1st class.

Right now, we're going to show him the 1 minute act that what he asks us to prepare last class. Before that, as usual warm up, imagine. After that Mr. Rey asks us whether we did rehearse or not. He said if the people who did rehearse line up in 1 line, whereas those who didn't do the rehearse sit and watch them act. Well, I feel bad but no choice so I became their audience.

At 1st, Mr. Rey wants to look at their 5-10 second acting after that all over again with props. Another condition, those who didn't bring their props will be joining me and the others and 2 people came out from that group.

Ok, acting starts. 1st is a girl, she came to the stage and finding her bag planning to prepare to go to somewhere but she saw a magazine and it distracts her. She starts to read the magazine, nope actually is looking because she flip the pages very fast and just to see cute guys. What I can't believe is, she actually smell the guy in the magazine and kiss it. OMG! Not only that, she even use the magazine rub to her neck to pretend that the guy in the magazine actually "kiss" her back? I think so. Her ending is like she is in a rush and then before she left the stage she took the magazine with her. Anyway, what she act just now I was wondering that does she do like this before? If that is true, aww really can't imagine. Overall her acting is good and situation quite detailed.

After a few of other students acting, now is Sam's turn. When he goes on stage, he carries a book and a pencil box. He starts to read the book and I know what is going on. TEST! and the way he puts down his book and I know that he is in the exam hall. One thing he did wrong is he imagine another people inside his scene and Mr. Rey tells him that he should only do an alone scene. After that, some of the students acting didn't make the situation clearly and Mr. Rey of course doesn't seem like it very much but every acting have everyone's applause.

Before the class end, Mr. Rey give us another assignment. Extension of the 1 minute acting to 2 minute acting. Within that 2 minute acting we can use maximum 3 props and I learn that every minutes of acting requires 30 minutes of rehearsal. I'll keep this in mind.
