Presentational acting and Representational acting

Everyday when we turn on the television it is full of shows, movies and sports. They are full of a variety of actors and athletes. Do you ever wonder why they get paid so much?

I am passionate to depict my life as a work of art via mediums like acting, public speaking, dance and music. I want to be an actor because I want to provide an immense amount of entertainment for people across the globe, also leading by example and inspiring people that everyone is capable of living the life they 've…

The Complete Stanislavsky Toolkit The reading for the approach to the rehearsal process continues. The text discussed the importance of the director and their assistance and guidance during the rehearsal process by establishing the aesthetic. After the discussion on the “Method of Physical actions” we moved to a new discussion concerning “Active analysis.” I personally feel that a lot of the material covered from the reading was previously discussed.

The Bystander Effect In 1964 in New York City, a woman named Kitty Genovese was walking home late at night after work. When she got to her building she was attacked by a man who stabbed her twice.

I thought they had it all… the houses, the cars, the parties, and the most perfect job in existence. I dreamt of seeing my name embedded on a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “It’ll happen, someday”, I whispered to myself over and over again. Acting had been my passion ever since I could remember. Singing wasn’t always on my list of priorities but I always thought it would be a good skill to have for this industry. We continued to walk down the Boulevard and my jealousy for the life of an…

The Connecticut Repertory Theatre’s production of King Lear was an exemplary work of art and was personally enjoyed. It is a show about betrayal, love, and tragedy amongst several different characters. King Lear has proven to be a complex, yet dramatic performance. Even though I already had a basic knowledge of this distinguished Shakespearean play, watching a live performance only improved the brilliance of the play. There are many factors that goes into producing a successful show that helps…

The World Goes Round at Theatre UCF was a spectacular conglomeration of musical performances that were brought to life through excellent acting and use of lighting. Throughout my years as a student I have seen a plethora of plays ranging from high school productions to off-off Broadway.
