4th day of Theatre Class

15 February 2012 (Wednesday)


I'm actually the Friday class student but I've TOEFL exam on that day so Mr. Rey told me to come today's class. Yeah! I've done my rehearsal and I also have brought my props so I think today I'll not be the audience again.

Before the class start, all the Wednesday students arrived and some of them start busy writing their objective, super objective and beats. So that's the reason why they came so early. HAHA! I can see that everyone are already fully prepared and full of confidence.

Here comes Mr. Rey! Good morning~ As usual, mark attendance and then warm up. Walk around, around and around. During the warm up, Mr. Rey calls us to do our rehearsal. Some sort of recap and self preparation. After a few minutes, acting starts! 1st is Valerie. She open a door and then threw her key. I think is a car key and it seems like she just came back from school. She on the air-conditioner and I guess she is in her living room. After that, she go to her refrigerator and find something to drink, the end. I think overall is ok but for Mr. Rey, he spots a lot of weakness in her acting. I can't remember most of them but what I remember is Mr. Rey spots that when Valerie is drinking, he asks her does she drink without opening the bottle? And she answered that she usually put her drink without the closing the bottle. Mr. Rey says that the audience doesn't know that what you usually do at home.

After a few students acting and now is my turn. I peep, peep and peep and I was actually like giving myself more time to cool down because I want to hand in a love letter to someone I like into her drawer and that moment in the classroom have a few students and I don't dare to walk in. After that, I decided to walk in and then I slip off and fell down. OMG! so painful and I was so embarrassed so I quickly put the letter into her drawer and escape. Mr. Rey asks me where am I that time, I answer him that I was outside a classroom. He was impressed with my falling and he asks me again how did I fall, I told him that the floor was a cement. Mr. Rey refutes that cement can't be so slippery but I told him that my high school classroom is like this and I made the same mistake what Valerie made, that is the audience don't know. Besides that, Mr. Rey says that I didn't show the audience that I'm embarrassed when I fall down that moment. Alright, I should look up more and I not really did it just now.

Class going to finish and Mr. Rey explains to us that when acting, we can't play with the feeling and every action that we do will lead to a feeling. Besides, he also told us about the 4th wall and the 4th wall is actually pretend that we didn't saw the audience when we're acting. After that, Mr. Rey gave us another assignment and that is a phone conversation. The duration for that conversation is 45-90 second and we need at least 3 props, specific conversation and people and during the conversation must have a pause. He also teaches us that when we're on the phone, our mind appear that people's image.That's all for today and I'm satisfied for my performance today.
