An Actor Prepares

since. In my opinion, acting is not solely about the individual’s performance, but about how an individual actor can use their confidence and passion to impact other actors, enhance a production, and inspire the audience. I hope to be able to share these qualities with my peers as a part of Chapman Theatre. When I am involved…

to the actors’ lack consistent connection to their character and lack of energy. I saw the production on Sunday, October 18th, 2015 during the afternoon matinee, which may account for some of the lack of energy that I saw on stage, but not for the actors’ inability to fully embody their characters. This…

The character was overlook because he is not alive, but he played an important role in Gordie’s life. The standard that he must meet so he can be taken into consideration by his parents. Denny was the special child, the football player, the popular guy. By the time Gordie was born Danny was ten, but unlike his brother, Gordie was not a miracle child, he was more of a burden to the family. This hate towards Gordy is not portrayed in depth in the movie. The brothers did not share a special bond…

19th, and 20th. I attended on the 18th. This play, aimed toward the entertainment of the audience, was directed by Jared Johnson. Not only did Jared Johnson put in an immense amount of work, the actors and actresses who played multiple parts went through significant challenges. Larry Johnson being the only actor…

How do we define an individual as a main character? How do we outline his or hers attributes? How do we exemplify their qualities as the foremost leader? In the Shakespeare play, Julius Cesar, most readers, writers, and most definitely even William Shakespeare himself see the main character of the play as someone such as Brutus, Cassius, Antony, or even Casca, but why? Do we perceive them as the main character, because they have more lines than anyone else? Is it because the act extensively…

2. Drugstore Cowboy I mention in one of my pages that I appreciate truth in film. This film is a shining example of that. This film explores the lives of people addicted to serious drugs. It opens with the ending of the story. Bob is seen in the back of an ambulance, then we go to the rest of the story through flashback, showing us how he got to this point. Bob and his wife Diane like to do drugs such as morphine and cocaine. To keep their drugs coming in they end up stealing prescription…

the killer and the sense in the house. I think all the actors were terrible and not worth anything. They paid a lot 45% of their whole movie budget just so they can have…

Twenty years later, and the past two Academy Awards have had all white actresses and actors nominated as best roles. Why is this? As of 2015, Henriksen, a published reporter from the AltPress database, stated “The majority of the Oscar voters are nearly 94 percent Caucasian and 77 percent male” (Henriksen). There is a need for a more diverse…

place mainly in Soledad, California where Lennie and George struggle to survive. The setting of the story takes place in the 1930’s, which is clearly depicted within the movie, especially how much different society was compared to today. However, the actors did not come up to par with expectations of the novel. Out-of-date film techniques were wisefully used to make key scenes in the film appear more dramatic. In addition, some scenes were accurately portrayed, while some did not fulfill the…

Unlike Glass Menagerie, however, it was clear to tell that the characters had their lines memorised cleanly and had time after memorization to characterise better. The actors had put work into the production and with everything combined (The accents, characterization, memorization, etc.), It was hard to differentiate between the actors and the characters…
