monologues

I think that in general people in our class have done a very good job with monologues, they have made them very emotional so we get really into their presentation. Alessa did a very nice job connecting her acting with the dramatic effect of music. Daniela was also very good as she sat down with her ripped shirt talking about prostitution and nicholas's sudden change of emotion was very interesting. Everybody is portraying different issues that will overall give a great show once we connect them altogether for a single great performance

Improv

This week we just started the improv unit. I must say that this is probably my most favorite style of theater to perform. I require no actual rules with the exception of always accepting what the other is proposing so as to move the action forward. I consider that standing up and experimenting with improvisation with no real need of memorizing a script, which is what I am worst at doing, and having the main purpose of laughing and enjoying the play. My favorite game within improve is the freeze game. Where two people lead a scene and when someone else claps to stop the action then and there that person takes over the action of the improve and produces a new and different type of action. I like this game because it requires a sudden burst of creativity and the new action that is proposed is usually quite funny. I look forward to learning more about improv and its different activities.
