Method acting

The musical I went to was “Heathers; The Musical”, lyrics and music by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe. Which is about a high school girl named Veronica Sawyer who was nobody until one day, three of the popular girls at her high school decided to she would fit perfect with them. Funny thing was that they were all named Heather. After being whisked away from her boring life and put into the Heather click, she meets a boy named JD who she falls in love with. Veronica, later in the year,…

For millennium, live theatre, reading books, plays, and even viewing film has acted as a way for men and women alike to escape their dull lives, to get away from a world saturated with daily tribulations and see through the eyes of an observer rather than a participant. People could get away from the identity of the weaver, the miller, or even the all-powerful aristocrat to become a spectator. This is the point however, where the live theatre and the other forms of “escape” from reality separate…

The thought of ever becoming an actor or musician was always a dream, but now I know that after googling myself, I've learned that if I would ever want to become a famous actor or a musician I would not be able to use my real name or else it might be mixed up with Brian Nash, an actor from the 1960's or another Brian Nash, a famous British musician. Brian Nash the actor, was born in Glendale, California on May 20th, 1956. He was most famous for roles in 1960's T.V. series such as Please Don't…

the sake of acting— at least I hope that is not the case. Personally, I view the arts (both performing and visual) as highly effective in promoting…

generous deed, it means that they want something from you and the reality of the concept of generosity is forgotten. The play consists of only five actors and they all did an amazing job at helping to portray the themes and purpose of the play. The acting was outstanding…

The Winter’s Tale Research Paper The production piece “The Winter’s Tale” is a 17th century play written by William Shakespeare. It is considered a problem play because there is both tragedy and comedy involved in the play, instead of a separate genre. The two main locations where the majority of the play takes place is in Sicily and Bohemia, each ruled by two kings who were best friends since childhood. The two kings, Leontes and Polixenes, face a major issue involving Leontes’ wife, Hermione…

musicals performed live or the movie versions, of the musicals mentioned I only understood the references from The Phantom of the Opera. It would have made the play more enjoyable had I understood all the references but, it was still entertaining. The acting style was presentational; when they actors and actresses were singing and speaking they gave looks and gestures. The pacing for the play was very appropriate because each act took the same plot and fit it to a specific musical. This means…

as exemplified by the critics of Vera’s life. What I didn’t get from reading the book was how bad it got for Vera later in life as shown by the productions ability of using the characters/acting, overall plot, theme, spectacle, music/rhythm, and language. The characters were portrayed with great animated acting, especially Vera showing enthusiasm in both Act I and Act II but in different ways between the two acts, and just would not have gotten the overall enthusiasm/portrayal if I did not see…

In the production of our play, Rabbit Hole, my role was that of the Technical Director. In this role, I wrote out and controlled the lighting of the stage from the control room at the back of the auditorium. I used differently coloured lights and various lighting positions to evoke different emotions from the audience. The choice of using the front lights to light up stage left and stage centre was to focus attention on the “living room” set in the play. Stage right was occasionally lit up…
