During the last class we started a new theme. As well as the other classes we started with a warm up put things began to change when they told us to unplugg our different parts of our body in a specific order.
While I did this i noticed how my attention went directly to a specific part of my body. Even though i had problems of focusing my energy in other parts that werent my abdomen like i am suppoused to do for Kabuki classes... I was able to focus it in other parts. In my opinion this exercise was to get to know your body and to get inside your imagination and give yourself an idea of how could that be.
But the excercise didnt end there, the exercise finished when we plugged once more to be able to move again our parts of the body. If it wasnt for the unplogg excercise i wouldnt been able to recognize some other parts of my body I think it is also to examine new parts. Meanwhile the plugging helps your imagination to work and start moving as if each part of your body was turning into popcorn.
When we finished this exercise we started another one which consisted in closing our eyes and imagine we were on a building and we had to walk very carefuly not to fall.
I proved that when we closed our eyes it was even easier than when we had to imagine that we had to do that when our eyes opened because it was harder to imagine that. But if you practically take a picture in your mind of what you had when you were with your eyes closed then it would be easie to do it with your eyes opened.
This helps you to get involved in acting and dont think as you in a theatre if not think of you as if you were in that situation.

This entry came in late. And it doesn't have a final question.
ResponderEliminarYou should take your reflections about the exercises even further (the practical consequences for acting of being physically aware of the different parts of your body, the role of imagination in the actor's work, etc.) and relate them to the other things you're learning in the course. The entries shouldn't be only about the Friday physical sessions.
