Today is the 4th practice of The Taming of the Shrew

Zoom 1st Class Dance #8 Rude Wedding

Today we did had dance class as the first class on zoom. I didn't know but we took a little test to see if anyone had watched the dance video by making everyone dance to the song without the teacher doing it. I literally failed the dance and the director got pretty mad but we went on with learning the dance. The dance was pretty hard and especially the fast part and also the dance steps. When we were about to finish the director told the 2nd ranks people to the dance from start to end. I totally failed so the director told me and another big sister to stay back because we did so bad! I think next time I will practice more on the dance before the lesson

Acting 2nd Class w/ Mr John

Today we watched the acting video of Mr John. First he talked about The Taming of the Shrew story. He said its an Italian play and it takes place in Italy Padua which is a city. He gave us a very great tip : Think the characters as Italians like the gestures / speaking
and the characters are very expressive in their work. He says mainly the story is about Petruchio and Catherine or also called Catrina. He also told the meaning of the word shrew which means mean woman. Then he talked about Catrina / Bianca / Petruchio's characteristics.
Then he taught the proper way of bowing of men and woman. Normal men put their feet in 5th position and arms pushed back. He said that Petruchio's bow should be grand. Then he told us the ladies bow. It is curtzy in 5th position and hold dresses and bend knee and head to the side. Then we moved on to a few lessons about acting. Lesson 1
Make the audience believe that everything is happening right now
Lesson 2
How to prepare for auditions : Prepare very well / Relax / Deliver
Lesson 3
Don’t try to make fun of that character / Believe in that character
Lesson 4
Listening and Receiving
Lesson 5
If you want to make a specific character : Always observe / Steal the specific details about the character like their thoughts & moves & posture / Make the character connected
Lesson 6
When you meet the script for the first time : Ask to myself or my character what do I want in this situation
Lesson 7
Anyone can memorize their lines but actor’s need to give the audience the meaning or objective of their lines
Lesson 8
Always think : Who am I / What do I want / Where am I / Who am I talking to
Lesson 9
If you want to make a good character then write a biography about your character
Lesson 10
Understand the super objective
Then he moved on to stage combat and I really liked that part because that brought me up the memory when I did a stage combat with Toby Belch in 12th night as Antonio. I thought that method is really helpful. Overall this is the end of the 4th practice.
