Non-state actor

Saying the word “Macbeth” in a theater is the equivalent of walking under a ladder or looking into a broken mirror. The bad omen originates when the actor playing Lady Macbeth in the original production in 1606 died forcing Shakespeare to replace him. An article by Laura Schumm testifies that “in another 17th-century production, held in Amsterdam, the actor playing King Duncan was allegedly killed in front of a live audience when a real dagger was used in place of the stage prop during the…

than I had been in the past. There is a dynamic charisma that I first witnessed from the moment I saw her depiction of Grace Sherman, and I think that is a substantial reason why so many fans are drawn to her and stick with her for life. Exceptional actors come and go. Beauty queens appear and fade. Dancers, singers, and so much more grace our screens, both small and big, and the vast majority are unfortunately commonplace. But with Teryl, she could never be labeled humdrum or ordinary . Her…

girl days were practically gone where he was concerned. In addition to Sebastian, I began to gain other friends and followers. I could spend a considerable amount of time detailing how a review of a well-known film caused a leading actor to unblock me…

Max is More Than Just a Story of a Boy and His Dog The 2015 film Max is an entertaining family film because of its story about a family overcoming loss, its outstanding acting, and its kid-friendly action scenes. The film Max follows a teenage boy, Justin Wincott, and the military-trained dog he is left in charge of after his brother is killed in combat in Afghanistan. The dog, a Belgian Malinois named Max suffers from post-traumatic-stress-disorder, putting additional strain on the Wincott…

insanely overrated. I think talent comes through hard work and learning the craft. I find this an interesting occupation I 'm in, and I guess I 've always approached if differently than most of the world. I know a lot of people think that to be an actor, you have to be born with it. Everyone assumes that everyone who does it is just naturally good at it. What we do is we recreate real life, human experiences on cue and on command, but all we 're doing is recreating humanity. So the first…

The set was minimalistic with only one chair and a few lights, so in order for the show to make since, there had to be a lot of creativity involved. Lighting was used as a tool to fill the empty spaces where other actors would be and to draw the audiences attention toward them. The actress on stage, the Pilot, used certain areas of the stage along with specific motivated lighting to represent her interactions with certain characters. For example, when we meet Eric…

The Task of Recreating A difficult task for any movie director would be recreating popular literature in its truest form, while also incorporating the director’s artistic vision, in order to make the text his or her own as well. The supernatural drama Lovely Bones, directed by Peter Jackson, was released on December 11, 2009. The award winning movie, based on the bestselling novel by Alice Sebold, impressively recreates the chilling murder story of fourteen-year-old Susie Salmon and the events…

Creating A Role by Constantin Stanislavski In his book Building A Character, Constantin Stanislavski gives actors the techniques needed for creating a role. He writes that a fully realized character is born through studying, establishing the life of the role, and transforming the role into physical form. He writes on three main periods: the first being preparation, the second period is the period of emotional experience, and the third period is the embodiment of the role. He compares these…

just an act put on in a room for an audience. As I began this class, theatre became much more. I was able to understand that theatre is not just an act put on in a room for an audience, yet it is a well thought out production between directors and actors to ensure the audience is getting the best show possible from any angle in the theatre. Theatre also is a form of art and tells a story through acting, singing, and dancing in the background of ethics, culture, and/or morals. Throughout this…

always a challenge for directors who wish to convey a certain message through their film and, keep the attention of the audience, as well. While mise-en-scène generally refers to the appearance of a film, it can also be interpreted as the way the actors present their characters and how the audience identifies with their performance. Nicolas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause is one example of a film that captures the audience’s attention through its mise-en-scène and sheds light on the issues of…
