Blog #2

My experience these past two weeks has been very interesting. I first thought the class would have a lot of people. I also thought that we would be doing plays or reading scripts. But to my surprise it was a small class which gave me the opportunity to get to know everyone on a personal level. The class has us do activities.  These activities help us become better actors/actresses and are really fun. I enjoy the exercises where we interact with each other but find the exercises on the iPads boring. It was hard to do the improve exercises because I struggle to think of what to do. However, I enjoy the silly activities. For example, the commercial where we had to sell a product. So far I am enjoying the class and the people in it. I hope that we keep doing activities with a lot of interaction with classmates, so I can have fun and strengthen our relationships. I didn't enjoy looking for a monologue because quietly browsing the internet didn't feel like it had anything to do with acting. I love acting but I don't enjoy writing. I have a difficult time expressing myself in words. I find that I run out of things to say.  It has been only been two weeks so there isn't much to talk about. So I am struggling with the blogging aspect of the class (as you know).  Hopefully, this will be come easier with practice.  But if there is something I want to learn in this class is how to be better at improvising and how to get rid of stage fright.
