In our third acting lesson we were still looking at status and the importance that it plays. The first task that we did involved us once again getting a card with a number on it but this time we couldn't look at it. After putting it on our self's so that we couldn't see it but everyone else could we played out a scene of being in an art gallery and playing the characters in with it. Afterwares, we had to put our selves in order, from high to low, of what status we thought we had. I struggled with this one as I just kept forgetting about the cards (I was some how missing them) and acting as the status of the character I had and not looking at the cards/ statuses everyone else and acting to that. The next scene we played was set in a wild west saloon. One person would walk in playing the role of the fearsome gunslinger and everyone else would have to fall silent. The gunslinger would then walk up to the bar, in their own time, and say one word - "Whiskey" befo...

In our second lesson we looked at the idea of status and how it can effect the way that we act. One of the tasks that we had to do was to A chair was placed in the middle of the room and we were each given a card numbered 1 to 10 and where told to way walk up to it acting as the status indicated by the card we had, 1 being low status and 10 being high status. The chair it's self equaled a status of 5 so we had to also act to it as our given status as well. After each person had gone the rest of us had to work out what number they where by looking at the way that they acted, walking up to the chair, the way they talked and any other details they added. We also wnet over anything that they did that might have made us question the number they were and why we may have through otherwise if our guess was wrong. I felt that I had a hard number to act out, the number six, as I was one above the chair but wasn't a very high number that I would 'look down' to it. I ended up...

I missed part of the lesson as I had meeting but from I was told the main focus of the lesson was to think about how we pose our body to tell a story. For the part of the lesson that I was there we where put in to groups of three and had to act out a three act structure. To do this we had to freeze in to position at each point of the act that would tell the story that we where trying to show along with thinking about our body language to show what we where thinking. In my group we acted out someone running for the train but ends out gettting tripped up by an old man on purpose. The part I played was the person running for the train which I played out as a school girl, I couldn't really do much with my body to show this other than to hold one of my hands by my shoulder to make it look like I was holding a bag strap in the first scene. The second scene was right at the point when I got tripped so it was harder to show I was a school girl of some kind as both of my arms were outst...
