maybe I'm a little like an effigy...
A gallant audience once commented that I acted my role so well... I looked scary and she added that its harder to be the "villain" than being the cutesy, innocent, protagonist character (yeah, I got the "villain" one)... But , within me, it's not hard at all... Not because I'm an actress, I don't even consider myself one (I hugely reconsidered about becoming one while I watched my fellow KRX pips acting) and also not because I got no lines to memorize BUT because being "evil" is not at all hard to do. It's just getting in sync with human nature... What's hard is trying to be collected, calm and good, and even godly, when everybody else seems to reject you or actually rejects you... That's damn hard...
well, you must be wondering what I'm talking about... it's about the play our hostel is having on the 21th of October. My role is, obviously, an effigy (sum kinda like a ghost)... No lines, just facial expressions, soft or quirky body movements... Not even much effort at all (for me)...=)
Im learning a lot from our rehearsals... At first I was pissed because it's taking too much of my time and my attention. It's stressing me every now and then, and my concentration always shifts on improving my actions rather than focusing on my tutorials... Hmm... maybe it takes a lot of concentration to act... Acting isn't just a mindless job... definitely, not at all. A lot of simulations must take place. A lot of what ifs, a lot of psychology, a lot of character, a lot of repetitions, a lot of changes, a lot of refocusing, a lot of attention, a lot of not minding the audience, a lot of a lot of things!!!! :)... it's interesting because it's actually something new for me... Stage acting is definitely something that can never be underestimated. as in NEVER!
It's nice to try something new every now and then :)... and it's worth the "risk" if we know how to appreciate what we are doing... If we keep on complaining, it wouldn't bring us anywhere, wouldn't it?
--my blog--
hours ago, I thought about spicing up this blog with a little of my humor... The level of seriousness of this thing MIGHT consume the readers... But then, well, who am I supposed to please??? (message to readers: ) maybe if there is a really funny experience, I would share it; or maybe along the way I can make funny remarks but never expect that this blog is meant for entertainment... This blog is the outlet of my other side that doesn't really show up in my interactions with people, except maybe during those dull moments when I don't talk at all... =)
oh well, enough of my blog and self evaluation. =)... until next time then :)
thanks for reading!
God bless!
