What Is Theatre To Me?

In my opinion, theatre is something to appreciate. It’s apparent that it takes a lot of effort to invest a lot of your time into a theatre project. For people like me who have never performed or participated in a production yet, I think it’s necessary to acknowledge all the hard work done for your enjoyment, and theatre is a prime example of that.
It’s great to immerse yourself in any form of art performance! For me, theatre(especially musicals), merge me into the story, so I feel like I am right there with the performers. Traveling to a city for a big Musical has a sort of adventure-like vibe that I love to do once in a while. All the strong emotions the actors and actresses portray really touch me. It’s probably one major reason why people keep coming back. To be so invested in what you do, and when it’s so apparent when you do it, gives me satisfaction to be there witnessing something so wonderful as a musical on Broadway.
Whether it’s starring in a school play, watching a show in New York, or designing intricate costumes, theatre has something for everyone to enjoy. Theatre is more than performing, and I think that’s a main reason why it pulls people in. Also, when people are passionate about things like acting, or singing, theatre is a wonderful outlet to do that.
Like I said earlier, I've never performed, but I infer lots of things about theatre are not easy to do. One thing that comes to mind is memorizing and nailing your lines. This seems like a very difficult task, especially when so many people are watching you.
In my experience, theatre “pulls me in”, so one thing for performers to learn is how exactly to do that. How does one capture an audience? How can someone direct and possibly write a really interesting piece for those who are watching and performing it? These are, I believe, are really important for people in theatre to think about.
A couple other things for performers to think about are that if you are so passionate about something like theatre, go all the way! Theatre is a big thing to be a part of, so performers should give all they got to help everyone they’re working with, and themselves, succeed.

Final Blog Post

I think I grew a lot in my confidence since the start of this semester. In the beginning, I was kinda shy and wasn’t that fond of preforming in front of people. But now, I gained a lot of preforming confidence and am ablw to act or direct without being a little hesitant. I think this is partly because I made friends with the people in our class and felt more comfortable around them. I also think it’s because I grew as an actor and a director and I learned more about those topics and what goes into them. Though this class, I learned that I liked to direct. The first thing I directed was “the Office” scene parody. At first when people chose for me to direct this scene, I was a little hesitant because I’ve never directed before. But I soon realized I really liked it because I like writing the stories, and I like to put scenes together and help actors understand the vision. The second thing I really directed was the final project called, “impossible”, with Lily, Jordan, and Jeff as actor...

Reflection of "The Classroom" Scene

I think that one of our group's strengths was our use of props. We used pencils, paper, a notebook(for Lily's sign), and some of us even used our own shoes(Jordan). Even though they are small, these props, I think, helped to set the scene well. The pencils and paper helped the scene to have a classroom-type vibe. Also, Hannah used one of the pencils to break it and throw it, which I think contributed to the comedy theme and her character's personality. Lily's sign and Jordan using his shoes really just made the scene a lot more funny. I also think they all did a really great job of improvising. I think this because an example is how Jordan used his shoes, and Hannah broke the pencil. They both improvised this, and by doing that, they made it seem a little more natural. But it wasn't just them; everybody helped to make the scene be more natural. As the director I couldn't tell them the exact movements and what to do with their parts, and they did a great job of i...

Silent Movie First Draft Reveiw

Strengths and weaknesses One strength would be the `colors of the scene. It makes it more dramatic and sad looking. Another strength would be our storyline and plot, which we think are clear for the audience. One weakness of us might be that some of our scenes are a bit confusing. However, we have been figuring that out. We are thinking we could re-do a couple of scenes to make it less confusing, and zooming in on pictures closer so people can see them.
