ACTING CLASS - 1 Nov 18 - PART 1

On the first part of today's Acting Class, we were with R-Alex. We done a practical demonstration/simulation. We were split into pairs and we were ordered to organise a scene where a shop is about to close in 5 mins but we have one last encounter with a customer. We performed them in front of each other. Rob then taught us how to react as if something is good news or bad news.

In scenes, there are objectives to characters, the characters who physically do things have sub-textual meanings. When you're playing a character that's trying to be helpful, don't overdo it, don't be overtly polite. Remember, D.I.D. Objectives in characters sometimes involves breaking the fourth wall in many ways. There are also actions or tiny moments in scenes and they are called tactics. Tactics build on the objective.

Acting is behaving truthfully in imagined circumstances.
