Rehearsal

yourself to overcome fears. Murphy learns that he should be himself. Murphy is at the rehearsal making people laugh. “At the second rehearsal I actually make Laurel, who is perhaps the most solemn girl in the school, laugh,”(P.4, Coville). Murphy is at the play doing more than what he did at rehearsal. “I’m not making up lines, but I am making bigger gestures, broader moves, weider voices than I did in rehearsal,”(P.6, Coville). Murphy is making people laugh by being himself. These…

Memory is often defined as the processing, storage and retrieval of information acquired through learning. Essentially, memory is a neurological representation of some prior event or experience. Although there are other ways of defining memory, all descriptions typically refer to memory as requiring and therefore involving three fundamental processes: encoding, storage and retrieval. In the 1960’s with the introduction of the computer, many psychologists described these processes using the…

Nora Scene 12 Analysis Paper In Nora there is a handful of characters who share the stage in Ingmar Bergman’s adapted version of A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen. In this small ensemble of characters, two seemed to speak to me the most. Those characters were Nils Krogstad, the antagonist, and Christine Linde, the supporting female. While reading the script none of the characters felt real, I felt disconnected to the other lot of them, but, I could understand the struggles of Mrs. Linde and…

straight acting involves a great deal of preparation and thought. There are many elements that come together to create the show and as a performer there are several things that can be done to make the rehearsals leading up to it an effective use of time. Preparing physically and mentally for every rehearsal, spending some time discovering the character’s world, and being open to discussions and changes throughout the process. These are some of the things an actor can do to ease the stress of…

In Costumes I have learned a lot, I learned how to sew and by having that skill I am not able to help sew and hem different costume pieces. Throughout the last few months I have also learned how to really work in a groups. In Costume and during rehearsal, every aspect of this course involves co-operation. While in Costumes everyone is always giving there ideas and figuring out way to change a design or idea for the better. For example, when we were making the red scarves it was very difficult to…

attend the University Dance Theatre rehearsal because I really admire contemporary dance and wanted to watch what the dancers do “behind the scenes,” so to speak. I wanted to better understand the work that goes into the dances instead of just viewing the final piece, which I often do. I chose to watch a Ballet 1 technique class because ballet is a form of dance that I appreciate but never really understood and because ballet contrasts the modern dance rehearsal I viewed. I’ve always believed…

character sketch and with my final rehearsal of my monologue. The character sketch, which I did receive full marks on, was one of the parts I felt most successful with because I was able to create a full character from a couple pages of one scene from an entire person’s life. I felt it was successful because of how I was able to develop a real character with a personality, a future and a past based off a few lines that she said in the scenes. I felt successful with the rehearsal because tt…

Working on the HHS Band leadership team has been one of the most difficult but rewarding jobs of my high school career. My junior year I was selected as the clarinet co-section leader with another one of my good friends Laura. Both of us are very strong and confident leaders, so throughout the marching band season, there was a bit of a power struggle. We didn't know how to properly balance our authority in the group to command equal respect, and we didn't know how to work as a team. Through my…

notice of, but the moment we pay attention to it, the information gets encoded and passed down into the short- term memory. Since the short-term memory has a finite duration and capacity, it cannot be passed down into the long-term memory without rehearsal, in theory the information can remain there forever. There are many studies which backup the claims made by the Multi- Store Model. Research shows that participants are…

uncoordinated and it’s obviously expected for many mistakes to be made throughout the duration. Through my attendance of a rehearsal a few weeks prior to the performance I garnered a general idea of what to expect. Throughout the duration of the rehearsal most of the actors seemed extremely familiar with their roles in terms of lines and stage directions. Most of the rehearsal was just making small tweaks to make the actors more comfortable and working on the fluidity of the stage directions.…
