Actors Journal #15 - TPPP

240209

Spent the day going through our IB requirements again. which is good.....but, Check, Please is coming soon! and i'm freaking out for my part, THE GIRL, to me still seems to have a dull character, and needs to have more facial expression, needs to be able to build climax more, needs to have good body positioning on stage, needs character internalizing, needs more VOLUME, needs to have nice hairdo's every night. AND THE LIST GOES ON. accesories, acting, acting WITH PARTNER. right now, the only person I feel i really connect with is Trym. He feels my frustration.....i think.

Anyway, for our Theatre Performance and Production Presentation, Mr.Moss said that it was good if we divided it into 6 categories :
1. Inspiration & Influences
2. Theatre in the Making Experiences - script is IMPORTANT
3. Experiences as an Audience - how what you watch affects you as an actor
4. Resources - workshops, books, media, teachers, DVD's, internet, movies
5. Traditions (Theatre in the World)
6. Pratices - I have yet to determine but one eg. Comedia

Here's a little cap on what Mr.Moss touched on.

- TPPP is actually a reflection on your reflections. CONTRIBUTION BY TILLY! she cracks me up.
- It is not a history of what we have done, but WHO WE ARE AS A THEATRE PERSON.
- only 1 or 2 productions may be mentioned.
- Theatre in the Making is before an audience is present.
- Theatre in Performance is when an audience is present.

For standard level (me) we have to talk for 20 minutes using 5-7 images
For higher level (all the rest) they have to talk for 30 minutes using 7-10 images

mine actually sounds harder..............
