41). It sad but the African American race has adopted the issue with dark vs. light skin which spills over in the film and acting industry. ” The schism reaches back to the days of "house" and "field" slaves--when the first African-Americans were segregated even from one another--and persists today in distinctions between light- and dark-skinned blacks.” (Svetkey, B, Watson…

A couple of weeks ago, I went to go see The Skin of Our Teeth. The show is very confusing and I was not a huge fan of it. However, the way the set is laid out and the choices for costumes and some aspects of the acting were quite enjoyable. The script was my main issue that clouded over many of the other parts. To understand the show, we must first see what it is about. The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder is a play that takes part in three acts. It follows the Antrobus family and their maid…

In his book Sanford Meisner On Acting, Meisner pays homage to past acting guides, like An Actor Prepares, by setting his narrative entirely within his acting classroom with one group of students over a span of eight months. While books like An Actor Prepares become bogged down in the monotony of daily classroom life and tedium of instruction, Meisner’s eloquent and gripping prose transcends these traps and invites readers to peek within the four walls of his famed classroom. The reason for…

seamless. One thing I enjoyed was during the lengthy set changes they would have a playlist of catchy music for the audience to listen to. The casting of the play was amazing. The robust, commanding voice of Cam Ward, as the washing machine repair man, was an excellent choice. Or the eccentric voice of Jake Gunning, and paired with his bright red hair, was a standout…

Junot Diaz said that dismissing any opportunity for a person to be culturally represented turns them into a “monster” (goodreads.com). So, how does that apply to the media, specifically, Hollywood film? Recently there has been a growing outcry over the lack of complex minority experiences in award-winning films. As a result, more Black actors and actresses have been nominated in their respective categories. However, the same cannot be said for South Asians and Hispanics, who struggle to find…

Love, Laughs, and Deception On November 19, 2015 at 8 o’clock in the evening I attended the play Much Ado About Nothing, inside of the Little Theatre at San Francisco State University (SFSU). I was able to purchase tickets online through a link from my theatre professor, there was a discounted student fee, which was $10 per ticket. I bought two tickets which was a total of $20, because my mom attended the play with me. We sat in the center of the theatre in row E, seat 110 and 111, it was…

“Acting is the ability to live truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances,” says Sanford Meisner. One of the careers that has stagnated to one of the most admirable jobs in the eyes of teens is acting. Acting, defined as the art or occupation of performing in plays, movies, or television productions as a job that can take place in all forms of media. The job can be hard to accomplish and gain a good reputation to perform the part right every time, which can be hard to stay calm and…

names of successful child actors. With the worry of children who are in the acting career becoming like Miley Cyrus or Honey Boo Boo, several individuals want children acting to disappear. Acting as a child has several great side effects and can help them later in life because performing teaches responsibility and independence, it helps kids learn empathy, and it helps children learn the skill of overcoming rejection. Acting teaches children many life skills, one being responsibility and…

While there were many great movies to choose from based off of the trailers presented, the movie that I would want to see the most would be John Wick 2. John Wick 2 caught my attention the most simply because I have already seen the first John Wick, the action in the movie is amazing, and Keanu Reeves is one of my favorite actors. The first John Wick was indeed a great action movie, so you would think the second movie would be worthy of wanting to see as well. The actors in the first movie…

moved by your actions and person. My real start to acting came a little later than I hoped, it wasn't until 2010 when I realized I really wanted to act, I remember the day so clearly; I was downstairs doing some of my “grade 6 school work” when my mom called me upstairs to show me an ad in the paper for munchkin auditions for The Wizard of Oz at Theatre Ancaster. I was ecstatic when I saw this, I have always had a passion for theatre, drama, and acting in general; but, unfortunately I…
