...Que pronto se rompe

Description:

This week I've had the opportunity to work with the "ich" group, which are the oldest group, I've helped them build their characters, and learned from them too. 

Analysis:

The ich group is very different in the working area, than my group which are the “shrei” (before they were call geist). I had to ask Nicole the things they’ve done in order to keep on working and not going back, in sense of behaviour they are almost the same than my group, they distract quickly and distract their mates too.

For that class I had plan just for them to act on scenes with the people that they have to act to, but they got so distracted that I had to bend this a little bit in order to have balance groups and the man who was working alone to explore more his inner character.

I’ve learned that some actors are easier to work with in the sense of imagination, they would do the scenes on their own and add different things to it. But others I had to sit with them and explore which was totally different from my group as they would just do the scene and I would tell them what do to. I think that music is the best way to explore your inner feelings so I put some background music to set the mood and to turn the actor’s imagination on.

Connections:

Music reminds me of Max Reinhardt which thinks that music it’s a very important tool. So maybe we should use it in every rehearsals, and more in an expressionist play, that one of the main target is to transmit/ take out the inner feelings of the actors.

Also for example in a Matter of dissection, we started the play with music, which of course set the mood within the audience, and It allowed me as an actress, to have a deeper mood and feeling of the scene, which made me belief what I was performing. And not only in that scene was that we used the music but we also used it for the “persecution part” which set the funny mood, and again it made you

Reflection:

I would say as a conclusion that music is very important, either to set the mood, or to give the actress a deeper feeling of the character, and of course as a tool to explore it. And this been an expressionist play, the importance of music is even higher, in my group we’ve worked with the music to explore different feelings and to portrayed them, I think most of us have done so, but I think that the only ones which has actually used it are the older ones: the “ich”, but to what extend is music important in our play? We don’t want a musical, so we may not use it all the time but we certainly want to use music, so how much should we use, how do we know what certain amount should we use? So that the audience don’t get bored?
