When I was performing this piece on Tuesday, I felt as though there was a lot that I personally needed to work on. One specific piece is bringing the other characters to life in my head. I could tell that since I did not truly believe them to be alive, nobody else did. I have worked on this some already, and I plan on working on it some more. I have began to imagine people standing in these places. This seems to help bring out truer reactions in the piece as well. Then there was the fact that I needed to separate the each of the beats more. A couple of people mentioned how the pieces meshed together, and it was hard to determine where one ended and another began. I think the best way for me to approach this is to slow down certain aspects of the piece and make my motions more distinct. The final part I have looked at is the true emotions that are supposed to be evoked when put into this situation to create more of the character. This has been difficult, but I believe that I am doing better than I was on Tuesday.

Go back to the video. What does Keaton do to achieve the things you are talking about? He's a master and there's a lot to learn from his technique.
ReplyDeleteA fuller imagination will be a big help to you. It comes down to psychological truth. If it's just a series of moves I won't buy it. It has to be true to you before it can be true to me.
