New Lessons

26 March 2012 ( Monday)


Today Mr. Rey is gonna teach new lessons and he said is characterization. Cool! Wonder is it harder than scene work. Before class starts, I reach campus and went in the classroom. NOBODY IS INSIDE! And I thought today's class cancel because its gonna 8am. Well, eventually everybody is kinda came late a bit but they made it on time.

Warm up again~ ( I always use this to wake myself up). Imagine scene and act a character. This time Mr. Rey more focus on Malaysian style. I noticed that Mr. Rey kinda like Malaysia a lot and I think that Mr. Rey also like the way that Malaysian talk. HAHA! He orders us act as a Malaysian. After that, Mr. Rey freeze us and he chooses each of us to act again then random movement. I run like a comedian LOL! Then freeze again, another scene. This time is act as a standard 1 student- Malaysian. I act what I really experienced when I was at that age. I cried because I don't want my parents to leave me. After that, Mr. Rey do the same thing again but this time he wants us to act previously what we do and then freeze us and he calls us to use all the words that we spoke just now and use it in the primary school scene. Looks awkward but Mr. Rey only chooses two people to act.

No longer, Mr. Rey told us about today's lesson and he brought some sort of utensils box and I saw a wig. HAHA! So I'm sort of know what is going to happen but what amaze me is Mr. Rey actually brought masks. Those masks are like what I watch in TV programme like those magician playing with their cards and wearing with those masks. And some of them are like those centuries statue, I don't know how to describe that. Mr. Rey then explains that the masks are holy to the actor and we can't use our hands to touch them and also Mr. Rey tells us that when we put the mask on, let the mask determine your character. Mr. Rey then demonstrates for us once. He wears the mask and then he became an old man. An angry old man. After he finishes his acting, he took off his masks and he become his own self back.

Now is our turn, I hardly remember who came out and act 1st but I remember almost all the character that they established. 1st is the sexy character and the other is boring one. Then comes with dancing character and the other is a beggar. Mr. Rey also make this exercise more interesting, he asks us to give them a name and we can ask them a request. After that, a inner beauty girl with a popular guy. This time, we're running out of time so Mr. Rey give them a scene and then is my turn. I act as a Malaysian boyfriend and Leanne is my girlfriend also Malaysian and we're having vacation on Paris after that, we walk to a restaurant to have lunch and I try to kiss my girlfriend but she don't want. So we sort of argue and then the waitress-Vhina come and help us out and give us a drink and we get "hot" and we make out. Take the mask out, Oh God! I finally can breath fresh air!

Class end!
